Despite previous reports insisting that the 'Ad Astra' star and the 'Arrested Development' alum are just friends, the Oscar-winning actor has allegedly convinced the actress to move in with him.

AceShowbiz - Brad Pitt and Alia Shawkat could spend more time together now. The good friends, who have been persistently hit with dating rumors and have reportedly hung out a lot during the coronavirus quarantine, is now said to have moved in together.

According to Life & Style magazine, an anonymous source says that "Brad is at a point in his life where his only concern is to be happy. So he decided to throw all concerns overboard and let Alia move in with him."

"He's even happier waking up every morning with her beside him," the source adds. "He's really missed that intimacy, the trust and the connection [that comes with] having a partner that he can confide in."

Noting Brad's rumored rekindled relationship with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, another source tells In Touch that the "Friends" alum "can't get too angry" because they're not exclusive. "She knows about Alia, but Jen and Brad weren't exclusive," so the source claims. "And who's to say she's out of the picture just because Brad's with Alia? You can never count out Brad and Jen."

Despite allegedly already taking their relationship to the next level, Brad may not be ready to make the romance public just yet. The source reveals that the 56-year-old star's friends have been advising him to publicly confirm his relationship with Alia for a long time, "but it seems that it happens all by itself, which he prefers anyway," says the so-called insider.

The source goes on reasoning that after his painful breakup with Angelina Jolie, the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star wants to start the relationship slowly anyway. "What he had with her was the least he expected, but after the long, painful time, he finally seems to have arrived," the source dishes.

Brad and Alia's dating rumors sparked in late 2019 after their multiple sightings together.
