Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman have always had a solid friendship. As Portman is recovering from a messy divorce, Pitt and his current partner, Ines de Ramon, are helping the actress pick up the pieces. However, the Star Wars alum is not in her feels after the split from her now ex-husband. Portman is proud of how she handled the situation and how she protected her children from the drama.
According to In Touch Weekly, Natalie Portman had a very small circle while she was married to Ben Millepied. Now, the actress is focused on rebuilding her social life. That is where Brad Pitt comes in. Despite the age difference, the two have been friends for about 15 years.
Brad Pitt Is Helping Natalie Portman Get back Her Life
It is rumored that the actors have a “vague plan to capitalize on their connection” by starring in a big film together, but that hasn’t come to fruition yet. “Right now, Natalie needs Brad as a friend more than a colleague,” the insider adds. “And, of course, that means Ines is along for the ride. She’s so laid back and basically up for anything.”
Pitt is also very proud of his track record of “setting people up.” Thanks to his stardom, Brad has many friends who are in the exact same boat as Natalie. However, that might be a conversation for another time, as Portman may not be ready to get back into the dating scene just yet.
Natalie and Ben finalized their divorce back in February after filing in 2023. This came after Ben was rumored to be having an extramarital affair. The two were married for 12 years after they met on the set of Black Swan in 2009.
Although Natalie Portman is going through a tough time, she is very lucky to have Brad Pitt and Ines around. Fans can not wait for whatever film the duo decides to do together. However, that may be a few years down the line.
