When it comes to Hollywood romances, uncomfortable age gaps aren’t uncommon. That’s why Pitt and Shawkat’s age difference—he’s 56 and she’s 30—doesn’t automatically void the rumors. After all, Pitt’s Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood co-star Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend was only six-months-old when Titanic was released. But, according to sources, Pitt and Shawkat are simply friends who bonded over their love for art. “Brad and Alia’s connection is art, he’s a fan of her work,” a source told HollywoodLife. “Alia is kind of a big deal in the LA art scene, and since the divorce Brad’s been hanging out in that world more and more. So that’s how the friendship came to be. He doesn’t talk about his art much, but it’s a huge part of his life.”
The insider went on to explain that Pitt has no desire to date at this moment. “He is looking to stay out of the limelight for a while and that includes dating. He just wants to enjoy family and friends. A very chill summer is one of his main goals right now. It doesn’t have to be filled with drama or relationship rumors. He’s cool with being in limbo right now.” And in this time of social distancing, that just might be the best choice for everyone involved!
