Angelina is going to flip when she catches wind of this!

Brad Pitt is "spending time" with beautiful American-Israeli MIT professor Neri Oxman, after being put in touch with her to collaborate on an architecture project.

"Brad and Neri instantly hit it off because they share the same passion for architecture, design and art. This is best described as a professional friendship," a source told Page Six.

The A-list hunk is hoping he can get past the friend zone, though!

"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," the source added.

Oxman is also an artist, and her works have been featured in collections at MoMA, Paris’ Centre Georges Pompidou, Vienna’s Museum of Applied Arts and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Science.

This is the exact type of woman to make Angie seethe with jealousy!
