Brad Pitt spotted with mystery girl

Over the weekend, Pitt attended a Thundercat concert at a venue called The Wiltern. The actor appeared high in spirits at the event, but that wasn’t what caught everyone’s attention.

Eyewitnesses at the concert claim that Brad Pitt showed up with a mystery woman, who sat with him throughout most of the show. TMZ released photos of the pair at the performance, though none of the images showed the woman’s face.

The woman showed up wearing a beanie, discarding it later to reveal very short hair. Although the two sat by each other for most of the concert, they did not engage in any PDA.

Pitt, of course, was hardly the only celebrity at the event. Ariana Grande and Ty Dolla $ign were also in attendance. While fans have been speculating about the identity of the woman, we finally know who joined Pitt for the show.

Pitt’s mystery woman identified

After some intense rumors online, it has since been revealed that Pitt’s mystery woman is none other than his good friend, Alia Shawkat. Pitt has been spotted with the Arrested Development star before, so it is not that big of a surprise that she was his big date.

Over the past six months, the two have attended concerts, toured museums and art galleries, and enjoyed comedy shows together.

While it is easy to speculate that things might be getting romantic between Brad Pitt and Shawkat, there has not been any evidence to suggest that the two are getting romantic.

Pitt is still a single man following his split from Jolie. The two ended their marriage in the fall of 2016 after being together for over 10 years. Although they have made some headway in their divorce agreement, the two are back in court ironing out the final details of their breakup.

Are Brad Pitt and Alia Shawkat dating?

Despite a strong friendship between Pitt and Shawkat, inside sources claim that the two are not dating. In fact, one source says that Pitt is not interested in dating anyone at the moment.

Instead, the actor is focused on continuing his sobriety and building his career. He is also working to co-parent the six children that he shares with Jolie.

With that in mind, the insider assured fans that Brad Pitt and Shawkat are just good friends and that their relationship is purely platonic.

There is no telling if that might change in the near future, but it sounds like Pitt is not ready to enter the dating pool just yet. That said, Shawkat is not the only person who has been linked to Pitt in recent months.

What about those Jennifer Aniston rumors?

Ever since Pitt and Jolie called it quits, fans have been speculating about the actor getting back with Jennifer Aniston. Those rumors have heated up over the past year as Pitt and Aniston continue to build on their friendship.

Back in January, Pitt and Aniston shared a quick embrace backstage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The interaction sent fans into a meltdown and led to some serious reports about how they might be getting back together.

Brad Pitt won an award for his part in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and was congratulating Aniston for taking home an award for The Morning Show.

Pitt has not commented on the latest rumors regarding his dating life. He did, however, poke fun at the reports during his appearance at the Golden Globes. The actor poked fun about how dating reports constantly surface whenever he appears in public with a woman.

“I want to say hi to my folks, because hey! They’re back in the Ozarks,” Pitt shared. “I wanted to bring my mom, but I couldn’t, because anyone I stand next to, they say I’m dating. … It would just be awkward.”

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were married for five years before calling it quits in 2005. Despite their breakup, the two have remained good friends.
