Brad Pitt, like millions of other people, has been dealing with self-quarantine.
Pitt has been stuck at home with no option for meeting others, (except for his children who live nearby); it does not seem like this restriction has been too harsh on him.
Recent reports claim that Angelina Jolie‘s ex-husband has been meeting up with Search Party actress Alia Shawkat regularly, and the two seem to have a great relationship that has been blossoming into something more over the recent months.
While the reports remain unconfirmed, it would not be too much of Pitt’s style to do something like that. He is known for having secret rendezvous with Jolie while he was with Jennifer Aniston.
Additionally, the famous actor is known for being highly sociable, and it is not beneath him to go around a little bit to fulfill his desires in this regard.
At the same time, the rumors claim that the two have been doing their best to maintain a responsible attitude towards their meetings, and they have not done anything that could endanger others, or risk spreading any disease otherwise.
Hopefully, that is true, in California, the attitude towards the virus has been getting increasingly more negative, with more and more people chiming in to criticize those who break the social distancing rules and endanger those around them.
With that in mind, hopefully, this is not going to backfire on Pitt or Shawkat. However, there is no significant risk of this happening so far, judging by the responses they have received to these rumors on social media.

The Arrested Development star recently landed in trouble after a video that was filmed in 2016, where she quoted lyrics from Drake‘s “We Made It,” resurfaced.
Shawkat used the N-word in the clip, and in the wake of the global fight against racism, she was called out for it.
She apologized for using the racial slur in a lengthy statement on her social media platforms.
The apology was not well received. A critic told Shawkat that she should have known better and added: “It’s not just noise. She made a mistake, was rightfully called out, apologized, and it should end there. I’ll agree many people are reacting to the video more negatively than is warranted, but that doesn’t mean people who are rightfully upset should be labeled as “noise” or a “distraction.” Even the fiercest fighters for equality should be taken to task for their mistakes.”
Shawkat received significant backlash from this Instagrammer, who claimed that they are disappointed in behavior.
The social media user said: “So you were in your late twenties, and you thought it was ok? Yes, we can all learn & grow from our mistakes. But girl, you were FULL grown at that point. This is so disappointing. I hope you continue to grow and give a better apology than this. But I’m not supporting you or your work anymore.”
A third person added: “Disappointing. Are you only apologizing because it has resurfaced? I genuinely would like to know. Had you felt bad about using such language previously?”
It might take some time for all of this to go away.
