What's behind Brad Pitt's regular 'omit Angelina' outing bender ?

New York, Nov 10 : Brad Pitt may have acknowledged his love for Angelina Jolie, but the actor has been constantly spotted without the lady on most of his recent visits.

The 'Ocean Eleven' actor has been traveling on his own lately, he even showed up solo in Chicago on Election Day to watch Barack Obama become president-elect.

He then flew solo to New York where he was seen out with old pal Catherine Keener at a West Village eatery.

"They've never really been apart since they met on the set of 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith,' so it's odd," the New York Post quoted a Hollywood observer, as saying.

In the past, Angelina and their brood of 6 kids have always accompanied Pitt everywhere because both parents vowed to rear their kids themselves.
