Brad Pitt’s girlfriend, Nicole Poturalski is, allegedly, causing the actor’s friends to worry.

According to Life & Style, Pitt’s friends are convinced that the 27-year-old model is just using him for fame. However, Pitt and Poturalski have, allegedly, fallen truly, madly, and deeply in love with each other.

“Nicole claims to love him for who he is, now what he has, but some friends are convinced she’s using Brad for fame. They’re worried she has an agenda,” the source said.

The tabloid even mentioned Poturalski’s difficult childhood by saying that she grew up in poverty. This is seemingly enough reason for the single mom to want to use Pitt for fame and money.

“Having endured a childhood of poverty, she was willing to do almost anything to escape and build a name for herself. And she made it happen. Still, she was blown away by Brad’s LA compound and Chateau Miraval. Her husband has money, but Brad’s in a different league,” the source said.

After her relationship with Pitt was made public, Poturalski’s Instagram account immediately became verified. The source also said that the German model is determined to take her career to the next level.

“She’s already a relatively successful model in Europe and is setting her sights on Hollywood, maybe even acting. But now that Nicole’s had a taste of fame and money, thanks to Brad, friends fear there’s no going back. After years of battling it out with Angelina, no one wants to see Brad get his heart broken again,” the source said.

However, Gossip Cop has debunked the tabloid’s claims by saying that Poturalski isn’t using Pitt for fame and money.

The rumor debunking site said that Pitt and Poturalski have known each other for at least a year. And they also had photos together from last year. However, it was only recently that they sparked dating rumors after they went to France.

“If Poturalski was using Pitt to grow her fame and fortune, then she’s not doing a very good job of it. Since this relationship is so private, Gossip Cop is busting this tabloid claim,” the publication said.

Gossip Cop also said that getting verified on Instagram doesn’t necessarily indicate that Poturalski wants to become a big name in Hollywood. After all, it’s not uncommon for Instagram users who have a sudden surge in followers to get verified on the social media platform.
