Are Brad Pitt and J.Law 'secretly dating'?

While he's been linked to a number of beautiful women since his high-profile split from Angelina Jolie, does Brad Pitt have his eye on a newly single actress?

Following her split from director Darren Aronofsky new claims suggest Jennifer Lawrence "ticks" all of Brad's boxes in all the right ways, and the pair have been texting on the sly and getting to know each other, according to Woman's Day.

The publication reports that after the 53-year-old actor heard of J.Law's newfound single status, he was quick to make a move and even asked director pal Quentin Tarantino to introduce him to the Hunger Games actress.

"Brad didn't want to enter the dating pool again with just anyone - she has to be special," an insider told the mag of Brad's intentions, adding that the lucky lady has to "be the type... to make Angelina Jolie jealous".

"When he read Jen had dumped Darren, he realised she ticks all the boxes - she's gorgeous, the hottest name in Hollywood and seems to like older guys."

Be has reached out to Brad's rep for comment.

While Jen has certainly dated guys her own age, the 27-year-old actress also has a history with dating older guys, being linked to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin who was 13 years older at 40-years-old, as well as recent beau Darren, who at 48, is 21 years older.

Woman's Day adds that after swapping numbers with the help of Quentin Tarantino, Brad and Jen have been "texting" but it's "nothing too serious yet" with the father-of-six still based in LA, while J.Law is in New York.

"Brad hasn't dated much since the breakdown of his marriage, so Jen is a very lucky girl to have his undivided attention," the source adds.

"He can't wait to get to know her better, and if all goes well, he thinks they could be Hollywood's next big power couple."

So will we see Brad and Jen 2.0? Only time will tell.
