After months of speculation, actress Alia Shawkat has finally addressed rumours that she and Brad Pitt are dating.

Speaking to Vulture, the 31-year-old confirmed the status of their relationship.

"We're not dating. We're just friends."

The two were first rumoured to be an item after they were seen together in November 2019 at an art exhibition. The Search Party star has since been spotted with the 56-year-old Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor on more occasions including at Mike Birbiglia's one man show, at Kanye West's opera show and at the fast food chain In-N-Out burger.

Shawkat recalled to Vulture how friends reacted to seeing them together.

"All my friends were like 'What's going on?' and sending me photos. I just felt overwhelmed. It's that feeling of being naked in school, like, 'Oh my God, everyone's looking at me.'"

Shawkat — who has been acting since she was nine — told the outlet she's had far more media attention since spending time with the Oscar-winner.

"I've gotten press, but not like that. Not so uncontrollable."

Speaking to People, an insider told the publication that Pitt likes to surround himself with people who share his passion for art.

"Brad loves the art world. He has a large group of artist friends that he hangs out with. Several are women, but he isn't dating them. He just loves surrounding himself with good friends."

The source concluded by stating that Pitt is "very much about keeping friends as friends".

Pitt was previously married to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005. He was then married to Angelina Jolie from 2014 to 2016 with whom he shares six children.

The Girl, Interrupted star recently revealed to Vogue India that the real reason she divorced him was for "the wellbeing of my family" which she said was "the right decision."
