Another quarantine couple bites the dust.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Brad Pitt and his rumored girlfriend Nicole Poturalski have broken up. Though the outlet can confirm that there was absolutely "something going on" between the Oscar-winning actor and the German model, their rumored relationship was reportedly never that serious.
The pair were first linked after being photographed boarding a private jet together at Charles de Gaulle Airport. Poturalski had flown in from Germany, Pitt from the States, and they then jaunted to the South of France for a low-key rendezvous at the actor's vineyard—a location he coincidentally co-owns with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. It's also the spot where the former married couple tied the knot in 2014; they purchased the lavish château together in 2008 for a cool $67 million.
Though whispers of Pitt and Poturalski's romance first made headlines after their French getaway, People confirmed that the two were initially spotted together a year earlier at the Berlin premiere of Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and later, at a Kanye West Sunday Service performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Pitt has spent most of 2020 dodging relationship gossip, including rumors alleging that he was dating Arrested Development actress Alia Shawkat and also reuniting with his other ex-wife, actress Jennifer Aniston.
"I don't know how many women they've said I've been dating the last two or three years," Pitt told The New York Times last year, "and none of it's true."
