Angelina Jolie, allegedly, decided to file for divorce from Brad Pitt after she heard him say Gwyneth Paltrow’s name in his sleep.
According to National Enquirer, Jolie went on a vacation with her six children, and Brad Pitt refused to join them. Instead, the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor traveled to Croatia to be with his friends.
Did Brad Pitt mistakenly call Angelina Jolie Gwyneth?
When the exes returned home, Jolie and Pitt, allegedly, got into a massive fight. Pitt, who, allegedly, had too much to drink, fell half-asleep at one point. And when Jolie tried to wake him up, Pitt, allegedly, mistakenly referred to Jolie as Paltrow.
“Fuming, Angie fled the bed in a fury, but recounting the incident to a gal pal later, she felt oodles better when told, ‘Hey, it’s not like he said her name in the throes of ecstasy – it was more like, ‘Gwyn, don’t be a nagging [expletive],'” the unnamed source said.
However, no concrete pieces of evidence can confirm that these hearsays are correct as of this writing. And it is unlikely for Paltrow to have caused Jolie and Pitt’s split.
By the looks of it, the exes were already having some problems in their marriage. And Jolie told Vogue India last month that separating from Pitt was the right thing to do.
Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow dating rumors
In 2017, Radar Online claimed that Brad Pitt and Paltrow started hanging out after his divorce from Jolie.
An unnamed source claimed that the A-listers bonded over their respective divorces. Pitt and Paltrow, allegedly, became so close that they decided to have a secret relationship.
“[Paltrow] is still extremely fond of Brad, and he’s grateful to have her in his corner,” the source said.
However, the tabloid was also quick to say that Pitt and Paltrow weren’t officially together back then.
“While fans may be eager to see the ex-lovebirds back together romantically, the source insists that’s not the case. This isn’t about flirting or trying to rewrite their past, but two mature adults bonding over a lot of shared experiences. Perhaps there’s still hope for a rekindled romance between the two,” the source said.
Rumors debunked
However, Gossip Cop immediately debunked the claims made by the tabloid. Paltrow was happily married to Brad Falchuk back then, and she’s still married to him today.
As for Brad Pitt, he never dated Paltrow after his divorce from Jolie. He never dated anyone after his divorce.
