Brad Pitt won’t be swiping right on any dating app, but going the old-fashioned route and asking friends to help him find “someone special,” a source told HollywoodLife exclusively. The 58-year-old superstar hasn’t had a serious girlfriend since his shocking split from Angelina Jolie in 2016, but there’s hope in his inner circle and he may be Soon you will find the right one. 
“He was arranged by a friend and it was really the only way he knew anyone because he didn’t go to dating sites or bars,” the source said. “Nothing serious has happened yet, but he seems to be more open to the idea of having someone special again, which is a big step. His divorce has been very painful for him, but he’s done a lot of rehab and it seems really in a better space.”
In the summer of 2020, Brad linked up with German model Nicole Poturalski after they were photographed off a plane in the south of France, but their “brief engagement” didn’t last long, and by the fall, they were over. The Bullet Train star hasn’t been photographed on a single date since – but a source told HollywoodLife that he’s not as lonely as he seems.
“Brad has been casually dating here and there, but he’s very protective of any woman he sees, even if it’s just a date, because any time he’s pictured with anyone it’s going to be so exaggerated and it makes things really awkward ,” our insider explained. “He’s used to the attention and can handle it, but when it happens to someone, he’s going to feel bad about seeing them with him and it can be hard to accept. That’s why you can’t see He’s on a date, but he’s testing the waters again.”
Of course, there have been plenty of rumours in recent years about him possibly being a lover – including claims that he and Coco Lee were “secretly dating.” Before that, rumors had spread that he was dating Alia Shawkat, with Brad eventually dismissing the hot gossip and claiming he was completely unaware of the rumor. Last year, Andrade denied claims she and Brad were getting close, revealing the fact that they had never even met.
