Brad's Bright New Beauty

Whip-smart, highly educated and a total knockout! Meet Brad Pitt’s new girlfriend the architectural designer

IT WAS bound to happen sooner or later: one half of the couple who made us mourn the death of love when they split is dipping a toe in the love waters again.

And the person Brad Pitt is said to have fallen for is one hell of a woman: gorgeous enough to be likened to his luscious-lipped ex, Angelina Jolie, smart enough to be labelled a genius and talented enough to have artworks on permanent display at some of the top museums in the world.

Neri Oxman (42) is also seriously stylish, gloriously single and a good match for Brad (54).

Their shared love of architecture is top of the compatibility pile. He loves designing and remodelling homes and she’s an award-winning architectural designer.

She’s also a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston – one of the finest tertiary institutions in the world – where she teaches media arts and sciences.

Brad became intrigued with Neri after admiring a range of her 3D-printed chaises lounges at MIT – and in November last year he caused a flurry at the school when he dropped by one of her classes soon after they’d reportedly started dating.

The star posed for pictures with a group of her students, which were posted on social media. Brad stood alongside Neri in another picture – although that one has been taken down.

The pair have been quietly dating for six months, Us Weekly magazine reports, and Neri is the first person Brad has considered letting into his life since he and Angie (42) went their separate ways in September 2016.

“Brad is absolutely smitten,” a source close to Brad told the publication. “Their chemistry is off the charts. They [became] romantically involved almost right away. “He’s going to great lengths to make sure they’re not spotted by prying eyes.”

But if the insider is to be believed, this hasn’t stopped them from taking secret trips.
