Brad Pitt’s one time girlfriend Neri Oxman engaged to businessman

She’s off the market!

Neri Oxman was rumoured to be dating Brad Pitt recently, but the pretty professor is now officially off the market!

The 42-year-old has announced her engagement to billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, 52.

The news comes just after Neri denied that she and Brad were ever romantically linked.

The engagement was announced during an investor conference at the Plaza Hotel in New York last week.

It was first revealed that Neri was dating the businessman in June, after they were pictured together at a Paris tennis tournament.

The outing came after news was circulated in April that Brad was ‘completely smitten’ with Neri.  

‘Brad and Neri instantly hit it off because they share the same passion for architecture, design and art,’ a source told Page Six.

‘Brad is very interested in spending more time with Neri, she is fascinating.’

Brad’s reps strongly denied any rumours of romance at the time, yet Neri still finds time to gush about the actor.

‘He is the last of the Mohicans in post-Netflix Hollywood,’ Neri told the New York Times.

‘He brings together the timely and the timeless, which is what cinema is all about.’ 

Brad meanwhile has been spotted meeting up with spiritual jewellery designer Sat Hari as sources says he is ready to pop the question and make things official with Jennifer Aniston.

A source close to the actor has told New Idea that after he was spotted flirting with co-star Margaret Qualley, he and Jennifer laid their cards on the table and agreed to make their relationship a priority.

While his divorce from Angelina Jolie is still in the works, Brad’s decided to show his commitment by picking out the perfect ring with the help of the jewellery designer and good friend.

“Jennifer and Brad had a commitment ceremony when they first rekindled their romance after his split from Angelina, but in recent months there’s been a little tension from his partying and flirting with women on set and he’s desperate to make Jennifer realise she’s the only woman for him,” says the insider.
