Has Brad Pitt been secretly dating MIT professor Neri Oxman for 6 months? See new photo evidence

Ever since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie broke up, everyone's been curious to know the new woman in Brad's life, if any.

The 54-year-old actor has reportedly been getting to know pretty MIT professor Neri Oxman, 42, and from a previously-unseen snap, it turns out the pair may have been secretly involved for a lot longer than reported.

After the reports that Pitt and Oxman were getting to know each other, an Instagram photo taken back in November 2017 surfaced, suggesting the duo have known each other for that long.

The pair reportedly started a friendship after they met through an MIT architecture project and the photo, posted by MIT student Kathy Camenzind back on Nov. 28, shows a smiling Brad posing with six women (Neri wasn’t one of them) at the school when he visited Neri.

It’s possible that Pitt and Oxman may not have been romantically involved at the time, but it hasn't stopped people from talking.

The duo connected over their shared love of design and architecture, a source told Page Six TV, adding that their relationship "is best described as a professional friendship." While the source said the friendship is not romantic in nature, Pitt is "interested in spending more time" with Oxman.

Another source said: "Yes, Brad has become friendly with Neri Oxman. He thinks she's brilliant. He's interested in getting to know her more and learning from her, but they are strictly friends."

And another added, "Some people seem to be exaggerating this into something that doesn't exist."
