Tabloids are clearly doing everything to continue to link the names of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. Another tabloid made a claim recently that the former Hollywood A-list couple has a "secret daughter" together. 

New Idea published a story this week with a headline implying Brad and Jen have a secret daughter. It wasn't clear why the tabloid used the word "daughter" while in fact in its story, it was referring to Pitt's niece who it claimed is very close to the actor and Aniston. 

Apparently, the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor adores and loves his niece like his own and the supposed 22-year-old girl has a special bond with Aniston. She also, reportedly, called the Friends actress "Aunt Jen." Clearly, Pitt and Aniston don't have a "secret daughter" but only a niece who both like them.   

Gossip Cop added that even if the niece has a great relationship with Jen, it doesn't mean that The Morning Show star and Brad are back together. She simply likes Aniston just like the other reports that claimed Brad's mom loves Jen.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time that a tabloid speculated that Pitt has a secret child. In April, NW claimed Brad was worried that his "secret lovechild" would ruin his relationship with Aniston. 

The Ad Astra actor has been, allegedly, hiding a child that he had in the 90s while filming Interview With The Vampire. The tabloid published the story along with a cover photo of young Pitt holding a baby in his arms. 

The picture appeared to be real and it was indeed Pitt in the photo. However, the baby he was carrying in the snap was not his love child. It was Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the actor's oldest biological child with Angelina Jolie.

Moreover, Gossip Cop couldn't help but laugh off New Idea's new claim about Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston since for the past few weeks, it has been insitenting that there is a blooming romance between the actor and Australian reporter Renee Bargh. The tabloid claimed Bargh secretly flirting with Pitt whenever she gets a chance to talk to the actor at the award shows red carpet. 

A source of the publication pointed out that the actor never usually opens up on the red carpet but he usually does it with Bargh. It alleged that it was a sign that Brad was impressed by the Extra TV reporter. 

The Aussie reporter has already denied the rumors between her and Pitt in two separate interviews. Bargh said it was the funniest story she ever heard and also mentioned that when said in one Instagram post that she has "amazing chemistry" with Pitt, she meant it as a joke.
