Inside Brad Pitt's 'romance' with pop star neighbour Lykke Li - 23 years his junior

Brad Pitt is reportedly dating his neighbour who is 23 years younger than him and enjoys getting high by eating mushrooms in her garden.

The 58-year-old, who split from his wife Angelina Jolie five years ago, is said to have been in a relationship with Swedish singer Lykke Li since summer last year.

Lykke, 35, lives just a few minutes drive down the road from Brad's Los Feliz mansion with her son Dion.

A source told The Sun: “Brad and Lykke have been able to fly under the radar so easily because they’re neighbours. It’s worked out perfectly for Brad to have someone he likes living so close.”

A separate source also told The Sun that the singer and Brad were spotted having dinner together at Hollywood haunt Mother Wolf last week.

This could be a welcome distraction for the Fight Club actor who is still locked in an acrimonious divorce with Angelina.

His 46-year-old estranged wife, who filed for divorce in 2016, lives close by with the couple's six children.

Brad is currently fighting a battle over custody arrangements for their children Maddox, 20, Pax, 18, and Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 15, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 13.

Lykke has worked through some hardship in her life and has admitted that she's in "deep therapy" for "romanticism".

The 35-year-old lost her mum in 2017 after she was diagnosed with a brain tumour just weeks before Dion was born.

The singer, who shares Dion with music producer Jeff Bhasker, 47, said: “That whole year was really crazy. You’re having your baby then you find out your mum is gonna die.”

Her turbulent relationship with Jeff left her "running from the studio crying every day".

She and Jeff were working on their album So Sad, So Sexy when their relationship crumbled, she added: "It was a big show for everyone else,. they’re going to have tons of stories to tell. My new manager said we were the craziest — and he manages Courtney Love.”

The pair split before the album was released in 2018.

Lykke has said: “I’m good at relationships, just not the romantic ones. That’s why I am still in deep therapy. I suffer from romanticism.”

She's been open about getting high in the garden of her £1.3million home by eating "tiny bits of mushrooms".

The mum-of-one who is the daughter of musician Johan Zachrisson and singer-turned-photographer Karsti Stiege has had a fairly nomadic upbringing and has lived in Portugal, Morocco, Nepal and India.

She called her childhood "challenging" and said that she was "fed up" and added "it could take her another 35 years to be normal."

The musician has worked with the likes of Mark Ronson, Kanye West and Drake but she struggled with the anxiety of touring.

Reflecting on that time, she said: “I don’t remember anything about it apart from having panic attacks.”

Brad has also worked on his own demons and found himself in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings after his split from Angelina.

He's only been linked to one other woman romantically since Brangelina broke down - German model Nicole Poturalski, 29.
