One of the most intriguing stars of the reality show Love After Lockup is Chance Pitt, a former inmate who claims to be a cousin of Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt. But is there any truth to his claim, or is he just trying to impress his girlfriend Taylor George and the viewers? Here’s what we know about the alleged family connection between the two Pitts.
Chance’s Story
According to Chance, he first met Brad Pitt when he was about six years old at a family reunion. He says that his grandfather’s brother is Brad’s father, and that he was introduced to him and his brother Doug at the event. He also says that he was informed later by another family member that Brad is his cousin. He claims to be a big fan of Brad’s movies, especially Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which he mistakenly called Mr. & Mrs. Pitt in a confessional. He says that Brad is a really good actor and very talented.
Taylor’s Belief
Chance’s girlfriend Taylor George seems to believe his story and even sees a resemblance between him and Brad. She says that Chance has the same eyes, nose, and mouth as Brad, and that they both have a strong jawline. She also says that Chance has a similar charisma and charm as Brad, and that he was able to rob a bank by flirting with a woman. She met Chance while he was incarcerated for seven years for grand theft auto and burglary, and moved him into her home with her three daughters and twin sister Bobbie after his release.
The Evidence
So far, there is no concrete evidence to support Chance’s claim of being related to Brad Pitt. There are no photos of them together, no official records of their family tree, and no confirmation from Brad or his representatives. In fact, Brad’s father is named William Alvin Pitt, not Chance’s grandfather’s brother as he claims. Moreover, Brad has only one brother, Douglas Mitchell Pitt, who is a businessman and philanthropist, not an actor as Chance suggests.
The Verdict
Based on the available information, it seems very unlikely that Chance is related to Brad Pitt in any way. His story seems to be based on vague memories, wishful thinking, and perhaps some exaggeration. While it is possible that he shares some distant ancestry with Brad, there is no proof of any close kinship between them. Therefore, we can conclude that Chance’s claim of being Brad Pitt’s cousin is false until proven otherwise.
The Implications
Whether Chance is lying or delusional about his relation to Brad Pitt, his claim could have some implications for his relationship with Taylor and his appearance on Love After Lockup. On one hand, it could make him more attractive and interesting to Taylor and the viewers, who might be curious about his alleged celebrity connection. On the other hand, it could also make him less trustworthy and credible, as he might be seen as a fraud or a fantasist who is trying to boost his ego or fame. Either way, it will be interesting to see how his claim plays out in the future episodes of the show.
