Here's a Hollywood fantasy we wish were true about Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron. Just a few hours ago, rumours of the two dating started doing the rounds. It was surprising to learn that they would be dating but also made us think, hot damn! However, a report on People has confirmed that the couple is not together. A source revealed to People that Pitt and Theron met on a commercial shoot last year and have not crossed paths since.

“About six months ago, they did a shoot together,” the source with knowledge of the situation says. “They have not been out together recently and were never dating. Reports of them being involved romantically are false.” Both, Charlize and Brad shot for an ad of a watch brand Breitling last year along with Star Wars actor Adam Driver. A sneak peek of the campaign was revealed by the brand in September on their Facebook page.

Another source told Entertainment Tonight that the duo is just good friends who have recently become close after working together. "Brad and Charlize have known each other for years and recently became even better friends after working together," a source stated and added, "They enjoy each other's company and connect on many levels. Brad and Charlize have a lot of mutual friends and share their love of acting, but neither of them is ready for a serious relationship right now."

Rumour mills started buzzing about the possibility of these two dating when the UK's Sun newspaper claimed that they struck up a romance over Christmas. While neither of the stars commented on the story, something absurd made a source talk about it. The paper claimed that Theron's ex Sean Penn played a catalyst in bringing these two together. To which “That couldn’t be more false. Not in the slightest,” the source added.
