It seems that rumors of a romance between Brad Pitt and Lykke Li are just that — rumors.

In recent days, speculation had surfaced that the 58-year-old actor and 35-year-old singer had begun a relationship, but a source recently cleared the air, disclosing that the relationship between the two is purely platonic.

An insider told People magazine that the "Little Bit" singer is a member of "a large group of artsy friends that [Pitt] enjoys hanging out with."

Actress Alia Shawkat is another member of this group, said the source. Reps for Pitt and Li did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

"He likes having female friends too," they added, noting that the Oscar winner "still keeps in touch with Nicole [Poturalski]."

Pitt and Poturalski, a German model, were romantically linked back in the summer of 2020. However, by that fall, they had reportedly split.
