Brad Pitt is always going to be looking for love, but according to his friends, his next wife is not going to be in the spotlight. He’s over it. 

“He’s not a monk!” said one pal to Page Six. Brad has been dating quietly despite a turbulent and ongoing divorce from Angelina Jolie, which has still not been finalized due to a bitter custody battle over their six children. “To say these two years have been a nightmare is an understatement.” 

His friendship with American-Israeli MIT professor Neri Oxman sparked reports of romance, but she denied they were seeing each other. 

“I can’t see Brad dating someone super famous again, I can definitely see him dating someone with a lower profile,” said someone who has worked closely with the actor. Spies have said that he’s been “hanging out” with a few women over the past few months. But he’s working to keep things private after having had so many very public relationships over the years. 

“He just likes hanging out with his friends and anyone he meets will have to be from a place of trust,” said a source who has worked with him. “He’s focused on his children, his work and wanting to have some sense of normalcy. He’s dating casually but, for the foreseeable future, everything is about the kids.”
