Gwyneth. Jen. Angelina. Who is Brad Pitt dating now and does he have a girlfriend? With more than 30 years as an actor, Pitt—who’s starred in films like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fight Club and Ocean’s Eleven—has spent more than three decades wooing women in Hollywood. (He didn’t hold the title of People’s Sexiest Man Alive twice for nothing.)
But who have been Pitt’s girlfriends (and wives) over the years? Of course, as one of the most well-known celebrities in the world, most of us know a few members of Brad Pitt’s dating history. There’s his first wife Jennifer Aniston. There’s his second wife Angelina Jolie. But who were the women before and after his most high-profile relationships? This where our deep dive into Brad Pitt’s dating life comes in. Though Pitt is a household name now, that wasn’t always the case. It wasn’t until his big break in 1991’s Thelma & Louise that Pitt shot to the star level we associate him with today.
This means there was a whole side of Pitt’s dating life (pre-Thelma & Louise) that most of us don’t even know about. After his divorce from Jolie in 2016, the actor has also kept a low-profile when it came to his romantic relationships. So, without further ado, we present to you our deep dive into who Brad Pitt is dating now and who his current and ex-girlfriends are.

I mean, he was Brad Pitt! My father was devastated [when we broke up]. I was such a kid, I was 22 when we met. It’s taken me until 40 to get my head out of my ass. You can’t make that decision when you’re 22 years old. I wasn’t ready, and he was too good for me.”

In a 2010 interview with The Huffington Post, Lewis looked back on her relationship with Pitt. “It amazes me that people are still fascinated that we went out for years,” she said at the time. “I was a teenager at the time.
