Now, Pitt is rumored to date Neri Oxman, a sassy and sexy girl who is a designer, architect, and professor at the MIT Media Lab.

Brad opts for Neri Oxman
Kim Jon-Ung still has the missile button in his office, Donald Trump is trying to make Stormy Daniels shut up and The First Lady is just okay with what probably happened. But should we always take things seriously and stick to the serious stuff? Now here is the joy, Brad Pitt has a girlfriend. Can we hear some pop sounds? The last we heard, our beloved hunk man, Brad Pitt was heartbroken and was sleeping on a friend’s floor. Some girls were just crying over that, literally. I mean, why would Pitt sleep on the floor and yet there were a million beds in the world he could put his weight on and share memories with lonely lasses? It’s been a year and a half since he broke up with Angelina Jolie and it’s apparent that the 54-year-old actor is smitten with Neri Oxman. She works thousands of miles from Hollywood, but that hasn’t prevented Brad Pitt from falling for the genius. According to Page Six, Neri Oxman was seen spending some time with Brad Pitt after they met through an architecture project at MIT. A source revealed that Oxman and Pitt hit off from day one because they share the same passion for architecture, design, and art. It looked a professional friendship but hold your horses, there is something more than what met the eye. Before Pitt came to the picture, Oxman was dating the billionaire, Bill Ackman, but they stayed together for only seven months. Ackman’s team didn’t comment on the issue. The billionaire is the founder of hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital, and was one time called the next Warren Buffett. What Pitt didn’t realize at first was the fact that he was dating an ex-military. Yes! Neri Oxman was in the Israel Army because the constitution of the country states that very youth should join the army before proceeding with college.
There were fake rumors that Jennifer Aniston is worried
There is a new tabloid in the World Wide Web which some of its debit stories is the story about Jennifer Aniston being worried about her relationship with Brad Pitt. The actress was worried that Pitt will dump her for MIT Media Lab professor and the winner of The Earth Award, Neri Oxman. Oxman has designed buildings and who knows if she will be designing her own “building” with Pitt? The gutter press knows. The story about Brad Pitt being with Neri Oxman is true, but he with Aniston is ridiculous and untrue. The ex-spouses have no sign of coming together once again and how can you be worried about someone you are not dating? It’s possible, but Aniston has said countless times that she moved on from Brad Pitt. Rep from Pitt and Aniston told Gossip Cop on different occasions that there is no chance of them uniting. New Idea magazine, however, insists that the exes are back and reported that Anniston felt threatened by Pitt’s closeness with Oxma whom he came across when he was at the MIT Media Lab last year. The magazine also reported that it had a source who told them that Brad Pitt was responding to Aniston that they were just good friends and nothing was going on between them, but Jennifer still went on being suspicious and hope that Pitt would live Oxman. The source said that Jenn was jealous of Oxman. The outlet went on to fabricate that Aniston felt like she wasn’t in the same league with Oxman and she felt inferior to herself. They also insinuated that Jenn wanted her relationship with Brad Pitt which they had given it a second chance to work out and she didn’t want to be dumped by the actor for the second time. The gutter magazine even stated that Jenn feared that Pitt would destroy her for life and at the time when Oxman came to the picture, Jenn and Pitt were planning a wedding. Aniston couldn’t stop being jealous and feeling betrayed, but it’s all lies and fabricated. Brad Pitt is not going back there, most probably.
Neri Oxman in all-black outfit
According to Daily Mail, Brad Pitt probably wants to forget all about his ex-wife and the mother of his kids, Angelina Jolie. But there are some outfits that Neri Oxman wears that might remind him of Angelina. The designer, architect, and professor at MIT media lab wore a head-to-toe black which is one of Jolie’s signature styles. Oxman who received The Earth Award was seen arriving at her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The black-haired gorgeous opted for skinny jeans and a fitted long-sleeve top with cute booties and a turban-style hat, all black. The over-sized shades Oxman rocked gave a perfect celebrity look.
