Thanks to his brilliant wit, exceptional talent, and absolutely charming personality, Brad Pitt quickly became one of the biggest superstars of the entertainment industry. There isn’t a corner in the world that does not know his name. If you take a quick look at his filmography, you’ll realize that he is worthy of all the fame and the love he receives from his fans.
While you might see some commonalities between him and other actors, would you believe it if we said Brad Pitt shares an element from his past with comedian and television host, Ellen DeGeneres? We didn’t believe it at first either! After all, this is a very unlikely duo, isn’t it? Well, as it turns out, Brad Pitt and Ellen DeGeneres share a common ex-girlfriend!
Brad Pitt Reacts to Ellen DeGeneres Dating His Ex
Back in 2019, Brad Pitt paid a visit to the set of The Ellen Show where the host-guest duo reminisced about the time they first met. Pitt recalls knowing the host since the “late 80s, early 90s.” When Ellen DeGeneres asked him if he remembers where they met, Pitt’s memory was cloudy but clear enough to remember that DeGeneres was hitting on his then-girlfriend.
He stated, “I remember Melissa Etheridge pool party, where I think you were hitting on my girlfriend.” DeGeneres then asked if she was “really” hitting on her, Pitt replied “I think so. I was flattered.”
After taking a short trip down memory lane, DeGeneres went ahead to reveal that she had actually dated one of Pitt’s ex-girlfriends. She said, “I actually, since then, have dated another one of your girlfriends. We’ll talk about that later.” The Bullet Train actor quipped, “After the show.”
Neither of the two ever revealed who exactly the ex-girlfriend mentioned in the conversation was. Well, some things just keep you guessing!
Brad Pitt and Ellen DeGeneres’ Current Love Life
While DeGeneres, who publically came out as a lesbian in 1997, might have dated her fair share of people, she finally settled down with the love of her life, Portia de Rossi. And even though you might not believe in love at first sight, that’s exactly what happened between the two. They met each other backstage at a concert. However, de Rossi was still in the closet at that time. They later expressed their feelings after 3 years after the first meeting.
DeGeneres and de Rossi began their romantic relationship in 2004 and tied the knot in 2008 when gay marriage became legal in California. Their relationship is going strong and they even renewed their vows at de Rossi’s birthday party this year.
As for Pitt, the terms of his divorce from Angelina Jolie are yet to be finalized, although, they have both moved on with their romantic lives. Since his separation from Jolie, Pitt has been linked with a number of women including, Neri Oxman, Nicole Poturalski, and Emily Ratajkowski.
Right now, Pitt is rumored to be dating Ines de Ramon. A source confided in PEOPLE stating that Pitt’s “Really into” de Ramon. Another source told the media outlet,
“Brad had a birthday party dinner with Ines and friends…He was in the best mood. He sat next to Ines. They were very cute and flirty. You could tell that she makes him happy.”
Neither Pitt nor de Ramon has confirmed the rumors just yet. Fingers crossed!
