Brad Pitt was recently spotted enjoying a romantic getaway in Positano, Italy, alongside his girlfriend of over a year, fashion executive Erica Alfridi. The couple, who have kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight, were seen walking along the scenic Amalfi Coast, where fans couldn’t help but notice Alfridi’s affectionate behavior toward the Hollywood A-lister.
Photos show the pair strolling hand-in-hand, with Alfridi frequently touching Brad’s arm, shoulder, or back as they walked. At one point, she could be seen placing both hands on his shoulders while speaking to him during a stop at a local café. Onlookers and online commentators quickly took note, with many labeling her actions as overly clingy and possessive.
One fan commented under a paparazzi post: “She can’t keep her hands off him,” while another wrote, “It’s like she’s afraid he’ll disappear if she lets go.” Some users even joked about whether Pitt had given her permission to touch him so often.
Despite the public reaction, others defended the couple, pointing out that showing affection in public is natural in any healthy relationship. One commenter responded, “They’re dating, of course she wants to touch him. It’s sweet.”
This isn’t the first time Alfridi has drawn attention for how much physical contact she shares with Pitt in public. Earlier appearances in Los Angeles and France showed similar patterns, leading some to speculate whether Pitt himself is comfortable with the level of affection displayed.
Interestingly, Pitt appeared relaxed and smiling throughout the outing, suggesting he didn’t mind her gestures. He was also seen placing a hand on her back and leaning in close during conversations, indicating mutual warmth and connection.
The couple, who reportedly met through mutual friends in the fashion world, have been together since late 2023. While they’ve never officially confirmed their relationship, frequent sightings together and subtle PDA moments suggest things are serious between them.
Fans continue to debate whether Alfridi’s behavior is endearing or over-the-top, but one thing is certain — Pitt seems happy and more at peace these days than he has in years following his very public divorce from Angelina Jolie.
As they continue their European trip, all eyes remain on the pair, watching every move — and every touch.
