Brad Pitt responded to rumors linking him romantically with Spanish model Makoke, who had participated in "Big Brother VIP."
The actor issued a statement in response to insinuations made by Spanish model Makoke, suggesting there might have been a romantic encounter between them.
Through his representatives, Brad Pitt vehemently denied any romantic involvement with the model. However, he did acknowledge that they had met, clarifying that this meeting had taken place 21 years ago when he was in Spain to promote the film "Seven Years in Tibet."
"Our client is not upset by this but believes it could be a misunderstanding. While it's true he crossed paths with this young lady, Makoke, during a trip to Madrid, there was no overnight stay in a hotel or any intimate engagement," stated the actor in a press release tied to the show "Sálvame."
Brad Pitt found it necessary to address these statements due to his ongoing legal dispute with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie concerning the custody of their children.
WHY DID BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE PART WAYS?
The separation of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie marked one of the most high-profile divorces in recent memory. Their split occurred in 2016, and they spent many months embroiled in a legal battle over the custody of their six children.
As per a report in the DailyMail, Angelina Jolie reportedly revealed to her 15-year-old son Pax that Brad Pitt "never wanted to adopt him."
Furthermore, an insider close to the situation, speaking to US Weekly, disclosed that Brad Pitt was upset when Angelina Jolie pursued the adoption process for their son Pax.
"Their relationship suffered, although Brad never explicitly admitted to that," the insider revealed.
The source also mentioned that Brad Pitt's concerns revolved around adopting a three-year-old child who did not speak English, especially considering Angelina was already expecting their first biological daughter, Shiloh. This created a challenging period for the couple.
During this time, Angelina reportedly told her ex-husband, "Pax needs me more than Shiloh," which further strained their relationship.
After their separation in 2016, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt engaged in a protracted legal battle for custody of their six children, including Maddox (17), Pax (15), Zahara (13), Shiloh (12), and the ten-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
