Brad Pitt Hospitalized

Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has been hospitalized after complaining of flu-like symptoms.Pitt, 41, checked himself into an undisclosed Los Angeles area hospital Monday night complaining of flu-like symptoms, his publicist Cindy Guagenti said Tuesday. There were no other details and the name of the hospital wasn’t disclosed for security reasons.

Pitt was in Ethiopia last week with his “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” co-star Angelina Jolie to pick up the actress’s newly adopted baby girl, the second child she has adopted. Guagenti said it wasn’t known if the actor contracted the illness while in Africa.

“I think he has the flu,” the spokeswoman said.

For months, rumors of Pitt and Jolie’s off-screen relationship have been circulating. The couple have been photographed together near her Buckinghamshire, England, estate, while he rides a dirt bike with Maddox. They have also been photographed with Maddox on a beach in Africa.

Pitt and his wife, Jennifer Aniston, announced their separation in January. Aniston filed for divorce in March, citing irreconcilable differences.

Pitt has denied Jolie was the reason for the split.
