Pitt, 50, confirmed that these dating rumors were not true, according to the report of Harper Bazaar citing the actor’s interview with the publication New York Times. In the said interview, as stated in the aforesaid publication’s report, Pitt claimed that he didn’t know how many women they [news] said he’d dated within the last two or three years but none of those were true.

Pitt, in addition, reportedly said that avoiding news coverage of himself was completely impossible, but he was able to sort things out through the “nonsense.”

Pitt and Jolie parted ways in 2016 and though there were several factors reported as the cause of the split, the most prominent and sensationalized one was the altercation that happened between him and his now 18-year-old son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt.

Pitt had been previously open about his struggles after his split from Jolie but the Hollywood actor was mum about whom —if there was any— he’s dating. It was earlier reported that Pitt welcomed the idea of dating but, at that point, he wanted to focus more on himself, his career and being a father.

There were a lot of women linked to the actor, including Neri Oxman, Sat Haru Khalsa and Alia Shawkwat. Pitt was also rumored to have dated his “Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood” co-star Margot Robbie. However, amongst these women that were rumored to have dated Pitt, the most controversial one was his reconciliation with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.

The rumors of the former couple rekindling their relationship after Pitt’s split from Jolie stemmed from this very instance —Pitt attending Aniston’s 50th birthday party. The news outlet People reported the confirmation of the actor’s attendance to his ex’s star-studded birthday bash at the Sunset Tower Hotel, Los Angeles, back in February 2019.

There were several sources who claimed that Pitt and Aniston were only friends but gossips of an impending rekindling of relationship had spun on the Internet. Pitt remained silent amid those controversies. Who could blame him though? The actor had a lot on his plate, including the divorce proceedings and custody battle over his children with Jolie.

Pitt, with his recent interview with NY Times, had finally addressed all the speculations about his love life and hopefully that will put to end to all these rumors.
