A lot of people believe there is something brewing between Alia Shawkat and Brad Pitt. They have been in the headlines for several months, but now the Arrested Development star is breaking her silence over the issue.
Alia Shawkat has been the center of attention since she was often seen out and about with Brad Pitt. They were spotted at an art gallery in Los Angeles, enjoying a fast food meal together, and even attending Kanye West's opera. So, what is the real deal between these two?
In an interview with Vulture, the 31-year-old star cleared that she and Angelina Jolie's former husband are only friends. Her relationship with the 56-year-old is strictly platonic, and there is nothing romantic going on between them.
No matter how many times they are seen together in different events and places, she insisted that they are not dating, and they are just friends. The actress came out bisexual in 2017, so she was shocked when rumors about them became out of hand.
It even came to the point that her friends were trying to ask her about her alleged romance with Brad Pitt. Alia Shawkat herself could not believe what was going on, as her pals started to ask her details of their so-called relationship. They were even sending her their photos together.
With the entire hullabaloo, she felt overwhelmed, comparing it to being naked in school, and everyone was looking at her. Although she had been in the business when she was only nine, it was the only time that she received an "uncontrollable amount of attention," being linked to Brad Pitt.
According to Celebrity Insider, sources have been insisting that Alia Shawkat and Brad Pitt are only friends. There is nothing romantic going on between the two, although it never stops fans from speculating.
Time and over again, it has been said that they are only bonding over their shared love for art. An insider even cleared that Jennifer Aniston's ex-husband had a "large group of artist friends that he hanged out with."
There were also a lot of women in that group, but Brad Pitt was not dating anyone from them. The tipster then insisted that the actor is only fond of the art world, enjoying surrounding himself with good friends. He is also keen to remain friends with his pals.
Other sources also told People that their relationship "did not go beyond friendship." Brad Pitt has several friends to whom he shares his love for art, and it only happens that Alia Shawkat is one of them.
