Now that Brad Pitt is already divorced from Angelina Jolie, the heartthrob is finally no longer off the market once more. Understandably, excited fans have been trying to pair him off with other stars such as his former wife, Jennifer Aniston.

But a recent report hints that Pitt may no longer be going after the “Friends” actress as he has a thing for a certain American pop singer. If rumors swirling around are true, the recently divorced actor might have found new inspiration in the “Never Really Over” singer Katy Perry.

But according to Gossip Cop, the rumor seems to have originated from Australian publication NW. The magazine recently printed a story with an eye-catching headline that read “Brad’s Hot For Katy!” The odd thing is that Perry is already happily engaged to Orlando Bloom.

The article hinted that Perry already caught Pitt’s eye even during Aniston’s 50th birthday party early this year. “Brad was stoked to see Katy,” NW quoted an unnamed source who is supposedly familiar with the matter. “They’ve crossed paths a number of times this year, including at Jen Aniston’s 50th birthday back in February.”

Pitt and Perry were reportedly seen “bonding big time” at a Beverly Hills party a month ago. “It was clear that he and Katy were bouncing off one another,” the supposed source added. “They were chatting for ages.”

The party did indeed happen at the Beverly Hills venue, and it was held to honor architect Frank Gehry, according to Gossip Cop. While both Perry and Pitt were present, the fact-checking site wrote that “there was nothing flirtatious about their interaction.”

The site got in touch with Pitt’s rep, who commented that the story is ridiculous. Meanwhile, another source close to Pitt assured that the actor “would never hit on a woman who’s happily engaged.”

The story does seem ridiculous, especially since Perry and Bloom are planning to get married within this year, according to People. “Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are deep in wedding planning mode,” a source close to Bloom told the publication.

Not many details are available at the moment, but it was reported that Perry and Bloom will marry later this year. In addition, the couple is reportedly opting for a small, intimate wedding to be attended only by family and close friends.
