During a book signing event at Chevalier’s Books in Los Angeles, Blanca Blanco held a question and answer segment regarding her life, her new book “Breaking The Mold,” and her run-in with Brad Pitt.
Blanco ran into the actor at a private party for “If Beale Street Could Talk” back in 2019. At the party, the two chatted it up and Blanco revealed that Pitt was “a gentleman” and “kind”, per the Daily Mail, despite what was going on in his personal life. At that time, Pitt was in the midst of his divorce from Angelina Jolie, per TODAY, and was keeping a low profile, as the split turned messy regarding the custody of their six kids.
Yet, despite what Pitt was going through regarding his relationship status, Blanco shut down any misconceptions that the two were flirting, given Pitt was newly single. “No, there was no flirting or romance, it was just a friendly conversation, he was unassuming and almost shy,” she said. “But I can understand he has not really dated since he split from Angelina, so everyone wants to know who’s next?” But even though that “next” person is not Blanco, who has been married to John Savage since 2008, it is good to know Pitt’s as good of a guy as we all dreamed he’d be.
