With looks that could launch a thousand ships and a dating history that can make even gods go green with envy, Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt’s journey through romance is nothing short of a blockbuster with an ensemble cast that boasts of glamazons in the form of ex-girlfriends and spouses.
As the Oscar-winning actor navigated the glamorous landscape of Hollywood, he left a trail of starry exes in his wake. From former wives Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston to past loves like Gwyneth Paltrow, Christina Applegate and more, Pitt’s romantic escapades are for the books.
However, after a relatively low-key period post-divorce from Jolie, Pitt seems to have stepped back into the limelight hand-in-hand with his current girlfriend, jewellery designer Ines de Ramon.

Christina Applegate (1989)
Profession: Actor
How did they meet: At the MTV Movie Awards
Applegate and Pitt’s fleeting romance began in 1989 when they both attended the MTV Movie Awards together. However, their connection didn’t extend beyond that night as the Bad Moms actor soon left him for another guy.

Attending the premiere of Legends of the Fall in 1994, Pitt brought model Jitka Pohlodek as his date. While they never publicly spoke about their brief romance, Pohlodek once gushed in an interview that Pitt “glows”, hinting at their brief fling in the early 90s.
Gwyneth Paltrow (1995-1997)
Profession: Actor-entrepreneur
How did they meet: On the set of the film Se7en
Next up on the list of Brad Pitt’s girlfriends is Goopreneur Gwyneth Paltrow. Paltrow wasn’t just another woman in Pitt’s life, the two were pretty seriously committed, so much so that they even got engaged.
They first met on the set of Se7en in 1995 and later got engaged in 1996, only to call off the engagement in 1997. Paltrow detailed the “fantastic” proposal during a 2023 Call Her Daddy episode, highlighting that they continue to be friends.
Jennifer Aniston (1998-2005)
Profession: Actor
How did they meet: Through their managers
The next A-lister in Brad Pitt’s dating history is Jennifer Aniston.
Their relationship began in 1998 and their love was all fireworks, so much so that they soon tied the knot in a grand Malibu wedding on July 29, 2000, with 200 guests and 50,000 flowers in attendance.
The two were together for five years but in a surprising turn of events in January 2005, Pitt and Aniston announced their separation, emphasising it wasn’t fueled by tabloid speculation. Aniston filed for divorce in March 2005, finalized by October, marking the end of their seven-year strong union.
“We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate. This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months,” the pair had said in a joint statement to People magazine.
Pit then publicly moved on to Angelina Jolie and the Friends star got married to Justin Theroux. However, staying true to their statement, the two have tried to stay friends over the years. Pitt and Aniston occasionally texted each other and he even famously attended her 50th birthday in 2019. Despite memorable encounters, insiders clarified in 2020 that a romantic reconciliation wasn’t on the horizon.
In 2021, Aniston further affirmed their friendship, stating in an interview with Howard Stern that she and Pitt are “buddies” and “friends”, highlighting their evolution from a spectacular wedding to a mature and endearing connection.
Angelina Jolie (2003-2016)
Profession: Actor
How did they meet: On the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s love story began on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2003, while the Hollywood heartthrob was still married to Aniston. Jolie recalled their initial friendship in an interview with Vogue in 2007, saying, “We found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair.”
After Pitt and Aniston’s separation in 2005, Brangelina became a thing and started making public appearances together. The next year in the summer of 2006, Jolie, who was already a mother to son Maddox Chivan, adopted daughter Zahara Marley, emphasising the idea of creating a family together. Pitt also decided to officially adopt these two remarkable young individuals as his own.
In 2006, Pitt and Jolie welcomed their first biological child Shiloh Nouvel and later adopted Pax Thien from Vietnam. Their family expanded further with the birth of twins, Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline, in 2008. The couple married much later in 2014 in a simple and relaxed wedding at their Château Miraval estate chapel, a laughter-filled day shared with their children.
However, their married life blessed with six children took a turn for the worse in 2016 when Jolie filed for divorce, citing Pitt’s abusive behaviour as the primary reason. Pitt expressed sadness in a public statement and denied allegations of abuse. He said, “I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.”
Despite being declared legally single in 2019, the custody and asset negotiations continue, marking the ongoing complexities of their post-marriage relationship.
Sienna Miller (2017)
Profession: Actor
How did they meet: At a formal dinner in LA
Dating rumours between Brad Pitt and Sienna Miller surfaced in April 2017, triggered by their engrossing conversation at a Lost City of Z dinner event in LA. An insider revealed to Us Weekly that the two were “spending some time together,” fueling speculation about a potential romance. Two months later, the duo reunited at England’s Glastonbury Festival alongside Bradley Cooper, adding more fuel to the fire.
Despite shared events and meetups, neither Pitt nor Miller publicly addressed or confirmed the nature of their relationship, leaving fans still wondering if they ever dated.
Neri Oxman (2018)
Profession: Professor and architect

Following his separation from Jolie, Brad Pitt’s romantic life made headlines when he spent time with professor and architect Neri Oxman in April 2018. A source revealed to People magazine that “It took him a long time to date, but he is now,” pointing to George and Amal Clooney’s relationship as the inspiration for Pitt to move on. The source further highlighted Pitt’s appreciation for women who challenge him intellectually, a quality he admired in Amal.
However, in October of the same year, Oxman denied any romantic involvement with Pitt. Despite dismissing the dating rumours, she praised him as “the last of the Mohicans in post-Netflix Hollywood”, acknowledging his unique ability to blend the timely and timeless aspects of cinema. While their connection may not have been romantic, the episode provided a glimpse into Pitt’s post-divorce journey and his pursuit of meaningful connections.

Their paths converged again in August 2020 when they were spotted enjoying each other’s company at Château Miraval. In the same month, public confirmation of Pitt’s relationship with the then-27-year-old model occurred when they were seen arriving at Le Bourget airport outside Paris. Their romance, however, concluded after two months, described as a “short-lived relationship that was never too serious,” as confirmed by US Weekly.
Emily Ratajkowski (2022)
Profession: Model
How did they meet: Not known
After a hiatus of about two years, Pitt once again found himself in “love”, this time with model Emily Ratajkowski. Following a split from her estranged husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, Emily started dating Brad in September 2022. People magazine reported that the two were “spending a lot of time together,” although the nature of their connection remained uncertain.
There were reports that Ratajkowski was not seeking a serious romance post-divorce. However, she was dubbed perfect for Pitt by many news portals. Described as having the vibes that Pitt appreciates, Ratajkowski, an art enthusiast like the Oscar winner, engaged in enjoyable conversations with him. While an attraction was acknowledged, their interaction was later clarified as not developing into anything serious.
