Christina Applegate confirms she ditched Brad Pitt on date

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Christina Applegate confirmed she once ditched Brad Pitt midway through a date Sunday on Watch What Happens Live.

The 43-year-old actress recalled the incident while playing "Plead the Fifth" with host Andy Cohen. Applegate and Pitt attended the 1989 MTV Movie Awards together, but the outing was cut short when the star left the actor for another man.

Applegate attempted to "Plead the Fifth" a second time to avoid the question, but did reveal the person she ditched Pitt for was well known to the public but not an actor. She also said she and the person didn't end up dating, nor did she see Pitt again.

The actress went on to marry Johnathon Schaech from 2001 to 2007, and wed second husband Martyn LeNoble in February 2013. The couple have one daughter, four-year-old Sadie, while Pitt shares six children with second wife Angelina Jolie.

Applegate last appeared in Vacation with Ed Helms, and will next star in Youth in Oregon with Billy Crudup. Pitt, meanwhile, is scheduled for By the Sea with Jolie and adaptations of The Big Short and War Machine.
