Rumors have it that Brad Pitt and Alia Shawkat are now dating after they are often seen together, attending some events. Recently, multiple publications are debunking their alleged romance, but the rumors surrounding them remain strong. Are they really together?
The two were seen together at the Wilding Cran Gallery, an art exhibit in Los Angeles, over the weekend. Before that, they were also spotted at the backstage of Mike Birbiglia's one-man show in the said city in California.
Brad Pitt and Alia Shawkat were also caught leaving Ethan Cohen's A Play is a Poem together. So, are these two really on a dating game?
There are different sides to the alleged couple's so-called love story. One outlet claimed that they're romance is already heating up, while others called them an "unexpected match."
Allegedly, their shared taste in arts brought them together, and Alia Shawkat is Brad Pitt's "much younger love interest" today. The famed actor is already 55 years old, while the Arrested Development star is only 30 years old. However, a huge age gap is not an issue, especially in Hollywood.
Another tabloid claimed that there's a possible romance between Brad Pitt and Alia Shawkat. They are even called a new couple and rumored to be dating. Even the known publications are now intrigued if they are really a thing, publishing their own versions of the story.
Gossip Cop stressed that Brad Pitt and Alia Shawkat are not dating. The rep of Angelina Jolie's ex-husband even confirmed that they are only friends. In his time in the entertainment industry, it cannot be denied that the Ad Astra star already made a lot of friends, including the Iraqi-American actress.
Entertainment Tonight even backed up this claim. A source even told the publication that Brad Pitt is not dating Alia Shawkat. They have been friends for months now, and the film producer remains single until today.
Page Six also reported the same thing. The two stars are only friends and have the same interest in arts. Brad Pitt hasn't been seriously involved with anyone since he parted ways with Angelina Jolie in 2016.
It was not even the first time that Brad Pitt was rumoredly dating. He used to spend some time with the MIT professor Neri Oxman and their friendship was simply platonic. He was also said to be seeing the jewelry designer and holistic healer Sat Hari Khalsa before, but there was no truth about it.
It is also a good reminder that Alia Shawkat came out as bisexual in 2017. However, he previously dated Michael Angarano and Jack Antonoff.
