Inside Brad Pitt And Nicole Poturalski's Relationship

Legendary actor Brad Pitt has been stealing our hearts in films like Thelma & Louise and Legends of the Fall since the early '90s. We saw him marry and divorce America's sweetheart and Friends star Jennifer Aniston. Pitt then became involved with global sex symbol and philanthropist Angelina Jolie, whom he eventually married (and later divorced), sparking "Team Jen" and "Team Angelina" mayhem for years — leaving us bitterly divided even to this day. The heartthrob was even once engaged to actress and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow, who admitted on The Howard Stern Show (via Vogue) that she messed their relationship up and that Pitt was "too good" for her. 

Now, two ex-wives later, the actor seems to be taking a break from his baby mama drama while frolicking around with German model Nicole Poturalski, who strikingly resembles a young Angelina Jolie with her long brown hair, thin frame, and full lips.

Will this romance last? Who knows, but let's look into this sexy coupling. Read on for a peek inside Brad Pitt and Nicole Poturalski's surprising relationship.

Brad Pitt and Nicole Poturalski reportedly first met in August 2019 at Borchardt, a Berlin restaurant that Poturalski's husband, Roland Mary, owns, according to the Daily Mail. The actor was allegedly "mesmerized" by the German beauty when he laid eyes on her at Mary's restaurant. Pitt had apparently cozied up there while filming 2009's Inglourious Basterds, as Daily Mail also shared, and he'd become friendly with the "flamboyant" Mary. Interestingly, the restaurant now carries Pitt's Château Miraval Rosé Provence wine (from his and Angelina Jolie's vineyard in the South of France), as noted by Page Six.

People, however, reported that Pitt and Poturalski were actually first spotted together at a party following the August 2019 Berlin premiere of the movie Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. They were allegedly "very flirty" at the star-studded event, according to one of the magazine's sources.

Brad Pitt has been toting his brood all over the world for some time, filming movies, attending premieres, and setting up camp at his and his ex-wife's various properties scattered around the globe. There's the breathtaking Château Miraval in the South of France, which boasts a vineyard, as Glamour noted. The couple also lived in a French Quarter mansion in New Orleans in 2006, followed by a Waldorf Astoria apartment purchased in Manhattan the following year. The couple notably owned homes in Los Feliz and Santa Barbara, both in California, and Pitt reportedly purchased a pad in Majorca, Spain. The couple's children grew up going to Lycée Français schools (geared for international families) in apparently whatever city the family fancied at the time, as the Observer mentioned.

Nicole Poturalski, who is of Polish heritage, lives in Germany, and has traveled for modeling gigs to New York, Milan, and Paris, according to Daily Mail. The multilingual mom — who goes by Nico Mary in her professional life — is signed by agencies in Germany, Paris, New York, and Los Angeles (via PopSugar), and was photographed vacationing on the Amalfi Coast and in Ibiza, Spain on her Instagram page.

As Us Weekly reported, it was revealed that Brad Pitt and Nicole Poturalski jetted down to the South of France so that he could reportedly take the flawless beauty to Château Miraval, the estate and vineyard he and ex Angelina Jolie bought together, in August 2020. It seemed like a pretty innocent getaway until the media deciphered that it was the day of his and Angelina Jolie's wedding anniversary, Aug. 23, 2014. And the location of their wedding ? None other than Château Miraval. Ouch. 

The actor reportedly "[knew] exactly what he [was] doing" and "[didn't] care" if Jolie would be upset, according to Us Weekly. A source told E! News that Pitt was in town for a wine campaign and that his new girl would be staying at the French estate with him for the weekend. OK! magazine reported that the two were also spotted making out at the airport like "loved up teenagers" on their way to Pitt's French property. We wonder what Jolie thought about all that.

Brad Pitt and Nicole Poturalski's casual pairing works for three reasons. One is that Brad, as of this writing, is still dealing with his divorce and subsequent custody issues. This has resulted in years of stress for the actor, who has been put through the ringer by ex-wife Angelina Jolie through this seemingly never-ending, bitter divorce, as noted by Entertainment Tonight. Second, Poturalski herself is married to German restaurateur Roland Mary, as the Daily Mail reported. Third, the two stunners live across the pond from one another, with Pitt in Los Angeles and the model calling Berlin home.

Pitt — who has been married twice — reportedly does not want to get married again (can we blame him?), according to Us Weekly . And it is reportedly ideal for him to not have to see his alleged girlfriend every day. Presumably that way, he can focus on himself and deal with any legal drama. Of course, whenever we needs a breather, he can jet off with his new babe, whom he apparently thinks is "beautiful" and "kind." He's just not into another full time relationship... yet. 

Brad Pitt and Nicole Poturalski both love the outdoors. Pitt did an outdoorsy-themed photo shoot with photographer Mark Seligar for Details magazine back in 2014 (which has since folded), in which he shared his love for nature. "I will always be most comfortable in the outdoors. I grew up in the Ozarks — something resembling Mark Twain country," he said, according to ET Canada. "The woods, rivers, bluffs, lakes, and caves have all left an indelible mark on me." He also shared his love for motorcycle riding, saying, "I try to carve out time for a solo ride in every country I travel to." We're sure the father of six doesn't look so bad all leathered up on a bike!

As for Poturalski, the German model actually grew up wanting to be a marine biologist, as Daily Mail reported, so it'd seem she enjoys nature as well. She has also pictured soaking up the sun in various glamorous destinations on her Instagram. No wonder the natural beauty always seems to have a golden tan! Let's just hope she lathers on the SPF — some nasty things can happen to your skin when you skip the sunscreen.
