AceShowbiz - Brad Pitt is reportedly dating again amid his long and messy custody battle with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. Words on the street are the actor has been secretly seeing Lykke Li, a Swedish singer, for several months now.

According to reports, the 58-year-old Hollywood star has been hanging out with the 35-year-old songstress since the middle of last year. Gossip outlet Deux Moi reported that the rumors first swirled in Lykke's native Sweden.

A tipster then told the same outlet last week that Brad and "that Swedish singer" were hanging out at Mother Wolf, a new Roman-style pasta palace which has recently opened up in Hollywood and has become popular among celebrities.

A source has now confirmed to The Sun that Brad was indeed with "Lykke, they were dining together." As to how they have been able to keep their romance a secret for months, a separate source said, "Brad and Lykke have been able to fly under the radar so easily because they're neighbors."

Lykke, whose real name is Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson, reportedly lives just a three-minute drive from Brad. "It's worked out perfectly for Brad, to have someone he likes living so close," the source dished.

Lykke, who has a 6-year-old son named Dion from her relationship with producer ex Jeff Bhasker, reportedly purchased a lavish two-bed three-bath home for $1.85 million in 2018. It's unknown if she lives in the house with her young child.

Brad was previously reported to be in a relationship with Poland-born model Nicole Poturalski. They allegedly met at a party in Berlin in 2019 after the premiere of his movie "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and were believed to have dated for around a year before they called in quits in 2020. At the time, Us Weekly said the Oscar-winning actor/producer and the 29-year-old stunner had never ever been serious with their relationship to begin with, so their split came as no surprise.
