Rumors about Pitt and Poturalski started swirling after they arrived together at Paris-Le Bourget airport. Us Weekly confirmed the two were dating. So, here's what you need to know about the new girl in the 56-year-old actor's life.

Poturalski is of German descent. In fact, she is proud of her roots, as seen on her Instagram page, constantly sharing posts in the German language.

However, she does not use her full name when it comes to working. Although she is technically known as Nicole Poturalski, she only uses the name Nico Mary in the modeling world.

Although Poturalski has been keeping her personal life private, she has been sharing photos of her son on Instagram. In her Instagram stories, she shared the bond she had with her kid as they danced and swayed along to a song together.

She, also, usually posts some photos of them. In her post in October 2016, which she later deleted, she called her son the love of her life.

She is, also, against child abuse. In her Instagram Stories, she said she would "never stop fighting to protect the kids and their souls from child trafficking."

Poturalski and Pitt have been mum about the romance rumors. However, according to Harper's Bazaar, they have been dating since last year after a photograph of them at Kanye West's Sunday Service at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A., recently, emerged.

At the time, Pitt was linked to Alia Shawkat instead. Little did fans know that he was dating somebody else, and Poturalski was just sitting next to him then. (From Business Times)
