Brad Pitt is allegedly faking his relationship with Nicole Poturalski.

New Idea came up with an absurd theory that the couple could be faking their romance simply because they haven’t been seen together in public in two months.

“But the alleged lovebirds haven’t been spotted together. Now, insiders are growing suspicious that the sighting near Chateau Miraval, the home Brad still shares with ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, was nothing more than a carefully orchestrated publicity stunt,” the tabloid claimed.

The tabloid claimed that another proof that the couple could be faking their romance is the fact that Poturalski is still legally married to Roland Mary. She also lives in Germany, which means that she can’t always be close to her rumored boyfriend.

According to the tabloid, Poturalski could be faking her relationship with Pitt because she wants to kickstart her acting career. As for Pitt, he’s allegedly faking the relationship with the model to make Jolie jealous.

“Being linked to Brad has already been a huge boost to her career, plus of course it would have given Brad a real kick to mess with Ange by stepping out with a much younger lookalike after everything she’s been putting him through,” the source said.

Meanwhile, friends and the parents of Pitt are allegedly worried about the actor making a fool of himself. The tabloid claimed that Pitt’s mom, Jane would be happier if he’s with Jennifer Aniston than Jolie or Poturalski.

“Jane spends a lot of time on the phone with Jen anxiously discussing it. Jane is still close with Jen and is relying on her to keep Brad from falling in love with a weird post-divorce crowd,” the source said.

However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. It is unlikely for Pitt and Poturalski to be using each other for the benefit. After all, Poturalski is a well-known model in Germany. And there isn’t any proof that she wants to get into acting.

As for Pitt, the actor has long moved on from Jolie. As such, there’s no reason for him to want to make his ex-wife jealous.

It is also unclear if Pitt’s mom is really close to Aniston. But what’s guaranteed is that the two women don’t talk on the phone regularly.
