The Bergkamen beauty is reportedly in an open marriage with restaurateur Roland Mary, 68, the pair share seven-year-old son Emil.

However, less than two months later, an insider told ET that the pair were done. 

She and Brad called it quits as the 56-year-old actor continues to battle his ex-wife Angelina in court for custody of the former couple’s six children. 

Rumors first began to swirl in August that Nicole and the Hollywood hunk were an item after they were seen boarding a private jet together. 

However, less than two months later, a source told ET that although "something" was going on between the pair, neither of them took the relationship seriously and decided to end it.

"Brangelina" share children Maddox, 19, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.

But now, Brad is "fighting to get overnight visits with his kids for the holidays" during the nasty custody war, reports claimed.

The estranged pair have been battling in court since the actress filed for divorce and they are set to meet before a judge in November.

Their custody battle is set to be one of the most expensive and drawn-out legal fights in Hollywood history.

Brad called 21 witnesses to support his case, while Angelina only brought in seven.

"It breaks Brad’s heart to know they’ve been at the centre of this wretched battle for such a long time."
