It seems Brad Pitt [1] is taken, y'all, and no, the new lady in his life is not Jennifer Aniston [2]. On Aug. 26, Us Weekly published photos of him and his reported new girlfriend, Nicole Poturalski [3], arriving at the Le Bourget airport in France, and from there, they reportedly headed to Château Miraval [4], Brad's getaway home in the South of France. A source for Page Six reportedly confirmed the two are seeing each other [5], adding, "They're enjoying a holiday together."
Though it's unclear how long the actor and 27-year-old German model have been dating (or if they even are an item), the two may have gotten together as early as November 2019 [6], according to the Daily Mail, who obtained photos of the maybe-couple looking cosy in the VIP box during Kanye West [7]'s performance at the Hollywood Bowl. Brad's rumoured GF is pretty mysterious, but here's everything we do know about the model.
She Goes By Nico Mary Professionally
Born Nicole Poturalski, the model goes by Nico Mary professionally, and that's the name used by three modelling agencies that represent her: A Management [8] in Germany, Official Models [9] in New York, and NEXT Models [10] in Los Angeles.
She's From Bergkamen, Germany
Though Nicole currently divides her time between Berlin and LA, she is originally from Bergkamen [11], which is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. According to the Daily Mail, Nicole reportedly moved to Berlin at 19 with her mother, Agnieszka, in order to pursue modelling professionally.
She's Multilingual
The Daily Mail reported that the model speaks five languages [12], including English, German, and likely Polish (as, according to her Facebook page [13], Nicole was born in Warsaw, Poland). The model has seemingly spent a lot of time in France and Italy, so French and Italian may be the other two languages she's mastered.
She Was Discovered at Disneyland Paris
When Nicole was 13, she was spotted by a talent scout while visiting Disneyland Paris [14], which is how she got her big break, according to the Daily Mail.
She Has a 7-Year-Old Son
Nicole was previously married to the owner of Berlin's famed Borchardt restaurant [15], Roland Mary, from whom she got her surname, according to German newspaper, Bild. Together the two had a son, Emil, who makes infrequent appearances on Nicole's Instagram and is currently 7. Fun fact: Brad Pitt actually visited Borchardt [16] while he was in Berlin for the Once Upon a Time . . . in Hollywood film premiere.
She's the Cover Model for Elle Germany's September 2020 Issue
Nicole boasts an impressive modelling portfolio, having graced the covers of German editions of Harper's Bazaar [17], Grazia [18], and — most recently — the September 2020 issue of Elle Germany [19], among others.
She Has a Discreet Tattoo
In March 2020, Nicole showed off a tiny neck tattoo [20] on Instagram, which simply reads, "MOON." It's unclear what the tattoo means, but she did use a moon emoji in a February 2020 IG post (which has since been deleted) that seemingly alluded to Brad. "Missing my strolls with my Love 🌙💥," she captioned the photo, with the location tagged as Los Angeles. Could the tattoo be a nod to the actor? Your guess is as good as ours!
