Brian Austin Green and Courtney Stodden’s unexpected lunch outing on Monday stirred up questions about their newfound relationship — especially after their recent breakups. Here’s what’s really going on…
Brian Austin Green and Courtney Stodden threw fans for a loop when they hit up Mejico Grill in Agoura Hills, CA together on Monday, June 15. The surprise outing quickly sparked romance rumors, despite both Brian, 46, and Courtney, 25, being fresh out of relationships. But, there’s nothing romantic going on between the actor and model at the moment.
“Brian and Courtney are just friends. They were out having a casual lunch, nothing more,” a source close to Courtney told HollywoodLife, exclusively. “They both got out of long-term relationships around the same time, so they’re able to see eye to eye on a lot of the same things in terms of what they’re going through. There were no flirtations going on and it doesn’t seem that either one of them are in that mindset right at the moment,” the source explained. “They just chatted and had a relaxing lunch, and they might hang out again. But again, it was purely platonic.”
