He’s hot for teacher! Brad Pitt’s relationship with Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Neri Oxman isn’t just a passing fling. After five months of dating, Brad and Neri are getting very serious. “They can’t get enough of each other," an insider tells Life & Style. “They’ve traveled nationally and internationally, she’s been to his LA home, and they’ve had a number of romantic weekends in Boston. And when they’re not together, they’re blowing up each other’s cellphones.”

Brad, 54, was introduced to the Israeli-born architect and professor, 42, while working on an architecture project in conjunction with MIT in November. “When they met — boom! There was instant chemistry,” the insider says. “They clicked immediately over their love of design and architecture and a mutual physical attraction."

"He told her that her pictures didn’t do her justice, and she was blown away by Brad’s charm, brains, and looks from the very beginning.” It’s a big bounce-back for Brad, who split from Angelina Jolie, 42, after she filed for divorce in September 2016. The two share six children —Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 11, and Vivienne and Knox, 9 — and have gone on to reach a peaceful custody agreement.

Some of Brad’s friends, the insider adds, are starting to think Neri is the woman he’s meant to be with. “She’s currently on a lecture tour, and Brad’s been meeting up with her discreetly at various stops,” the insider says. “They even have a special coded phrase for hooking up! They say they’re ‘working on the project together.’”
