Emily Ratajkowski did not allegedly want to lull in sadness and pain following her split from her ex-husband. So, she immediately set her sights on a new prospect: Brad Pitt.

In its Oct. 17 issue, In Touch Weekly claimed that Ratajkowski was the first to make a move on Pitt. The model allegedly asked a common friend to set her up with the dad of six.

Following their first date, Ratajkowski and Pitt immediately became smitten with each other. So, it was not hard to decide whether they should have more dates.

“She begged a mutual friend to set them up and making the first move paid off. Brad left their first date completely smitten with Emily. They immediately hit it off. They talked about everything from the movie business to parenthood,” the source said.

In August, rumors about Pitt and Ratajkowski dating surfaced online after the actor was reportedly photographed hanging out with a stunning brunette at a restaurant. It was later revealed that Pitt was having a meal with Ratajkowski.

“Emily picked the restaurant because it’s quaint, low-key, and the perfect place for a date,” the source said.

Following their first date, Ratajkowski and Pitt tried their best to keep their relationship private. So, they started hanging out in places where the paparazzi might not see them.

And one of their top choices for a venue to hook up in is Pitt’s $40 million home in California.

“She takes private jets back and forth from New York. These days, he prefers to keep his relationships out of the spotlight. The last thing he wants to deal with right now is Angelina going nuclear over his personal life. Things between them are bad enough as it is,” the source said.

But as exciting as all these things are, they are not necessarily true. There’s no indication that Pitt and Ratajkowski are really dating because they have not been photographed together.

Even though the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor was photographed with a brunette in August, there was no proof that he was with Ratajkowski.

It seems the A-listers are being linked to each other because Ratajkowski is newly single. And she also said that she’s looking forward to dating again and such. And since Pitt is also single, the two were linked to each other.
