Brad Pitt and Alia Shawkat's dating rumors are all in the news today. Although several outlets already denied their romance, Jennifer Aniston is allegedly overly affected by the issue. In fact, a tabloid even claimed that the Friends star broke down in tears when she learned her ex-husband is seeing the Arrested Development star.
The magazine contended that Brad Pitt is now moving on from his ex-wives, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston, with Alia Shawkat. The article's premise was based on the news that Pitt and Shawkat were often seen together.
An alleged source said that when Jennifer Aniston received a text that Brad Pitt already had a new girlfriend, her jaw dropped. At the time, she was allegedly at a restaurant with a couple of friends when she learned that the 55-year-old actor was dating somebody new.
The Morning Show star then excused herself, went to the restroom, and calmed herself down. Jennifer Aniston knew that it was bound to happen, but she couldn't help but get very emotional and cry. When she returned to her table, her friends knew that she wasn't fine and, once again, Brad Pitt broke her heart.
Gossip Cop debunked this story, pointing out that the article didn't reveal who sent the text, who was Jennifer Aniston with, and where they were dining. It only took advantage of the news that Brad Pitt and Alia Shawkat are dating, although the Ad Astra star's spokesperson already confirmed that they are only friends and nothing romantic is happening between them.
A lot of reputable sources even backed up the spokesman's claim. Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were not even back together. So, there was no reason for the 50-year-old actress to be affected if her ex went out on a date.
Although Brad Pitt is spending more time with Alia Shawkat, a source told People that they are only friends. A tipster close to the two stars said that there is "absolutely nothing romantic is going on" between them.
They were recently seen together at Kanye West's Nebuchadnezzar opera show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Another insider said that they were with a group of people at the time. They enjoyed their time in a VIP box. Brad Pitt was friendly with Alia Shawkat at the event, but it never looked romantic.
It was not the first time that Brad Pitt and Alia Shawkat were seen together. Earlier this month, they were spotted at an art gallery. Before that, there were other reported multiple outings that they were spotted with one another. But, a source insisted that they were just friends.
