Is Brad Pitt single again? Actor's romance with model Nicole Poturalski ends, fans are not surprised

According to sources, Pitt wasn't looking for a serious relationship with Poturalski who is in an open relationship with her husband of eight years

Is Hollywood superstar hunk Brad Pitt single again? The answer is yes. According to multiple reports, the 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' actor and his 27-year-old German model girlfriend Nicole Poturalski have broken up. A source told Page Six that Pitt and Poturalski are "totally over". "It was never all that serious as it was cracked up to be," the source said.

Poturalski, who is reportedly in an open marriage with 68-year-old German restauranteur Roland Mary, got involved with Pitt in August 2019. The now-former couple first met at an after-party in Berlin following the premiere of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'. The news of the two dating became public in August 2020. The Page Six report also states that Pitt and Poturalski were very flirty during the after-party, according to an eyewitness.

The couple, who kept a major part of their relationship a secret, had a number of hush-hush meetings in Los Angeles and France. In November 2019, they met at a Kanye West concert in Hollywood Bowl and were photographed together for the first time by the paparazzi. Back then, their relationship was still in the early stages. Then, in September 2020, Us Weekly reported that Pitt's relationship with Poturalski is casual and won't culminate into something long-term, given that Poturalski has been married to Mary for eight years. Quoting a source, the outlet reported, "Brad thinks Nicole is beautiful and kind. He has absolutely no plans nor any desire to ever get married again. Brad doesn’t want a girlfriend that he’s with every day."

Reactions

Twitter users are always quick to react to celebrity break-ups. Things were no different in this case either. One user tweeted, "I had a feeling it wasn’t gonna last," while another, chastising the concept of open marriages and relationships wrote, "Tends to happen when one member of the party is still married and chillin' with their husband." A different user harshly said, "Hot girl dumps old guy. Next," while another expressing their desire to date Pitt, said, "Time for me to swoop in."
