Things seem to be heating up between Emily Ratajkowski and Brad Pitt.
The latest in a series of reports about the couple suggest that although their budding relationship started out as a casual friendship (sources say), it’s now morphing into something more.
A source close to Pitt, 58, recently said People that while the actor is technically single, he and Ratajkowski, 31, “have been on a few dates” together.

“He was introduced to Emily by a friend in the art world,” the source said. “There is an attraction, but nothing serious. She is obviously gorgeous and very into art too. They have a lot to talk about and always have a good time when they get together. They stay in touch when they don’t see each other.
Meanwhile, an “insider” close to the Ratajkowskis said People that “she thinks Brad is amazing” and that “she’s kind of in love.” They added, “She’s very cute when she talks about Brad. She thinks he’s a gentleman. It really was the perfect moment for her.

The insider continued, “Her friends joke that they don’t feel bad for her about the divorce anymore — nothing beats Brad Pitt for cheering you up. She definitely wants to get to know him better. They’re texting and stay in touch.
Ratajkowski filed for divorce from film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard last month after four years of marriage.
Pitt has been involved in a complicated divorce from Angelina Jolie since 2016. Although their proceedings are ongoing, they were both declared legally single by a court in 2019.
