— Kit Marlowe (@marloweKit) April 6, 2018In 2016, The Jerusalem Post named Oxman as one of its 50 most influential Jews, coming in at No. 42. She was noted for “rocketing past old ideas of how things should be designed and assembled, taking inspiration from nature to revolutionize how objects can be designed and built.” Page Six was quick to note that Pitt and Oxman are reportedly just friends, with its source noting: “Their friendship has not turned into romance... as both are cautious and this is, again, more of a professional friendship. But Brad is very interested in spending more time with Neri, she is fascinating.”Page Six, however, could not help but note that the professor “bears more than a passing resemblance to Jolie.”Despite the qualification of the pair as just friends, the report has been written up in People, Elle, E! News, In Style and dozens of other publications. Oxman, who is divorced from her first husband, Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov, has not publicly commented on the rumors.
