E!: Brad Pitt isn’t really dating Sat Hari Khalsa because they didn’t make out in public

Brad Pitt at photocall 'Ad Astra' 76th Venice Film Festival

We heard this week that Brad Pitt, 55, is maybe dating his friend Sat Hari Khalsa. He’s legitimately known Sat for years, and the dating rumors cropped up last year around this time, almost like it’s a new annual tradition: the autumnal fake romance of Sat and Brad. Us Weekly claimed that Brad and Sat’s friendship developed into something more and that they’re romantically involved or something, and that he loves her “beautiful mind.” He also loves how low-maintenance she is, because how charming. Well, much like last year’s dating rumors, people are now denying that sh-t.

Singletons, rejoice: Brad Pitt is still on the market. Despite reports, the actor is not dating spiritual healer and jewelry designer Sat Hari Khalsa. Rather, a source tells E! News any rumor of romance between the two is “entirely false.”

Rather, Pitt, 55, and Khalsa, 50, are simply friends. A point they proved while celebrating his new film Ad Astra last week. At the flick’s after party, “she was with another girlfriend and was talking to Brad,” a second inside shared with E!. “But, at no point during the party did there appear to be an obvious PDA or any indication that they were romantic.”

“Brad didn’t really talk to her much, he was talking to different groups of people,” continued the source. “It was just friendly and not romantic.”

It’s not the first time they duo have been spotted together. Last fall, they engaged in a lengthy conversation at the Red Hot Chili Pepper Annual Benefit Gala. “They seemed to know a lot of the same people and enjoyed themselves,” an onlooker explained at the time. “They had a lot to talk about.”

Indeed, Khalsa had been making house calls to Pitt’s L.A. compound to help him on his spiritual journey. “She’s providing him with some guidance and has been a welcome breath of fresh air and spirituality in his life,” a source told E! News. “He feels like he has a lot to learn to better himself.” As the insider explained, “they are close friends.”

I mean… they’re in their 50s, what do these witnesses want? For Brad and Sat to make out in front of everyone, a la Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter? It’s perfectly possible that once again, the annual autumnal tradition of “trying to make Sat and Brad happen” is what’s going on. It’s also possible that their friendship has turned into something deeper. In any case, I wouldn’t place any bets on whether they’re romantically involved just based off of whether they were affectionate with each other in public.

    I hate PDAs and I am never touchy with my husband is public.

    We are very much in love and happy so public behaviour is never an indication whether a relationship exists, doesn’t exists, is happy or unhappy.

    As for Brad, I think he will rollout a girlfriend for his Oscar campaign. This man won’t be coming alone to the Oscars next year..

    • SaraR. says:

      Lol, I see him taking his mom, and producing a big AWW across the Universe.

      • Lady Baden-Baden says:

        I agree Sara. Either Mom (traditionally the prop for actors in the closet – but for Brad it will be seen as cute and respectful and will also generate money-spinning ‘Lonely, loyal Brad’ headlines) or another family member (for him, the number 1 choice would be his eldest son, right? Killer blow to anyone doubting his parenting! Of course, Maddox agreeing is also about as likely as Boris Johnson managing to tell the truth at some point in his political career…) OR he might go with a political statement by taking an activist, but it would have to be one that makes Brad look deep, caring and principled. Nothing too political – can’t alienate any of the fans – or controversial. I bet his PR team are already on the lookout…

  2. PnP says:

    A 55 year old man shouldn’t be this invested in what people think of his dating life.

    • Lady Baden-Baden says:

      I mean… I doubt he is??

      And BOO for making me defend Brad Pitt! This is the reason I avoid the royal posts – some of the comments make me ITCH to defend Kate bloody Middleton and I CAN’T STAND HER!

      • Valiantly Varnished says:

        Uhhh who do you think was responsible for that whole Neri Oxman debacle? That entire story was a PR stunt from Brad’d team. Same goes for the Charlize Theron rumors that she immediately squashed.

      • Lady Baden-Baden says:

        Oh I’m sure Brad’s team cares. It’s all about the money he represents, after all

  3. M says:

    Why are people believing anything from US weekly in the first place?
    Unlike the beautiful professor & Charlize rumors, his team were quick to deny this one.
    Maybe because his fans are in uproar saying she’s physically nowhere in his league. Got to make Angelina jealous with an ‘upgrade’ after all. 🙄

    • crogirl says:

      She’s a perfectly fine looking 50 year old woman, not beneath Pitt at all.

      But I don’t believe they’re dating, she probably comes to his house for ozone injections.

      • M says:

        There’s absolutely nothing wrong with her, but his fans won’t have it. I hope they are dating, maybe she can part some sense & wisdom on him & make his kids needs an absolute priority.

    • VirgiliaCoriolanus says:

      His team = “a source”?

      ROFLMAO. I don’t buy that tabs are getting their info from him bc tabs that get dating rumors from actors confirm their relationship.

      Case in point, Jennifer Garner leaked to Us or L&S that she was dating that tech guy. Stories then came out that he was married/implied to be cheating THEN it came out that he was separated from his wife and getting divorced. Then within 2-3 weeks, he and Jen G were photographed separately walking into the same restaurant w a gushy article on their date and how they’re going strong, etc.

      Brad has never been seen with any of these women beyond Sat Hari and Charlize (while filming an ad together). Sat Hari, photographed at the same table at a charity event and probably have mutual friends in common, but I do not get date vibes….who knows tho.

      Charlize, they clearly made the story up bc Charlize and Brad AND Adam Driver did a Breitling ad campaign that was never mentioned by the tab….instead they said that Brad was introduced to/set up w Charlize by Sean Penn. Like what the what? When was that fictional meeting set up?

      OR like with Oxman. I saw the pic that he posed for w her and her students at MIT the October before tabloids got ahold of it and wrote their stories. Which were ridiculous. They wrote that Brad constantly visited her on campus. What BS. More than likely SHE didn’t deny it bc she was dating her now husband, who was in the process of divorcing his wife. As soon as his divorce went through, they were photographed in Paris together. But people jumped right on it. Someone made a fake IG page all w pics you could find of her on the internet, w her name hash tagged. And she barely goes on her official twitter.

      If Brad is seeing someone I doubt we will ever know, imo, until it is serious. However it makes zero sense that he would leak he’s dating someone then is never seen w them.

    What does PDA mean? I’m sorry English is not my language

  5. TQ says:

    Eh, I’m not really buying that they’re dating, particularly given it’s US Weekly. It feels like the Neri Oxman situation — spinning that he’s dating someone age-appropriate and accomplished to deflect from the rumors he’s hooking up with a Kardashian and other assorted young reality stars.

  6. Jegede says:

    Sad how US Weekly, – my former go to mag – is going down the tubes. 😧😧😦😦

    And it’s not just with this Pitt story either.

  7. RoyalBlue says:

    Brad should seek to work on his relationship with his kids before working on a relationship with another woman. I doubt this story but will be very disappointed if it is true.

    • Dali says:

      Yes but he hasn’t presented a new relationship since their split which was 3 years ago. Besides some stories of dating, there is no woman since Angelina.

      • RoyalBlue says:

        I know and agree. My point is I hope the first relationship he seeks, is to repair the one with his kids. And by your calculation it’s been 3 years and nada.

    • VirgiliaCoriolanus says:

      @Royal blue I would say we just don’t see it and I doubt we ever will. Brad talked about how their kids friends told them what was being said in the tabs in GQ 2017.

      Considering that Angelina and the kids have been regularly flying back or staying in LA since last summer, I do not understand the idea that he does not have custody and is not trying to fix his relationship with their kids. Like when Angelina was filming Those Who Wish Me Dead in New Mexico…..the kids were photographed in NM 2 or 3 times, and then after that they (a few of the kids) were seen some weekends with Angelina IN LA and some weeks you only saw Angelina.

      • RoyalBlue says:

        I see. I am so accustomed to some things being played out in the press for PR purposes I didn’t consider that some things may just be private too. Really just wishing the family happiness, healing and peace.

      • crogirl says:

        ” I do not understand the idea that he does not have custody and is not trying to fix his relationship with their kids.”

        Well maybe it’s the fact he hasn’t been seen with them for over three years. Even super private celeb parents, whose children we don’t practically know the names of, are still regularly seen with their kids.
        Not to mention the vicious smear campaign against their mother probably didn’t make the kids eager to spend time with him.

      • VirgiliaCoriolanus says:

        @crogirl
        You mean the smear campaign that has existed against her since she told the world she experimented with drugs and was bisexual? Angelina has always been trashed. Always. No matter who she was with or what she did.

        Tabloids have also always been very racist towards the JP kids and Brad/Angelina. Angelina hates her blonde white bio kids, Brad’s leaving and only taking the bio kids. Obviously Brad’s actions inflamed them, as well as getting a ton of info via TMZ and the Blast from their custody case didn’t help but I am legit confused as to why anyone is surprised. This is what tabs do, period. Brad or any other male celeb don’t have to lift a finger bc tabs do it all for them.

    Amazing how people believe in tabloids.

  9. Kebbie says:

    Hard to take this story seriously when their headline says he secretly dated Charlize Theron. Maybe it’s true, but I think she’s just a woman that has been photographed in the same place as him more than once in the last year.

  10. Dal says:

    Sat hari khalsa? ..is she trying to be Sikh? Or some real spiritual person ? Where’s her turban then ..I’m brown and I don’t approve either go all the way or stick to ur white name

    • Frida_K says:

      That’s what I thought, too. Of course, I’m mean that way. But yes, my first thought was: “Wow, she’s awfully white looking for that name–so is she trying to be spiritual?”

      She looks peak cultural appropriation güera in my estimation, but what do I know?

  11. smcollins says:

    I had a dream last night that Brad was recruiting me to be a spy. My mission was to steal a box of diapers that could be found at a specific location, in a crowed area, without being noticed (because “spy”) and bring them to his secret meeting place at the back of some restaurant. It was pretty weird. Just thought I’d that with this being a BP post and all (I don’t really care who he may or may not be dating…until I do) 😆

  12. Shiba says:

    She’s been on tour with Flea and The Red Hot Chilis as a spiritual advisor aka sober companion. She’s proven herself discreet
    and effective, as a positive recovery building ally.

  13. Lowrider says:

    Ah, too bad. They would have made a nice spiritual, peaceful couple.

  14. Truth hurts says:

    Brad will be 56 in December. He just went through a custody battle to which he had to change. A lot of his behavior and put away the drugs and bottle to avoid total loss of custody of his children. The last thing he should be hanging on is a woman. He can get laid anytime he needs to. But keep it cool for now. His relationship and the healing of that with his kids should be his main focus. Seriously 😒 bet Angie ain’t caring about being seen with a man or introducing one to those kids until they are mentally strong and better.
