Of those was Pitt, who attended the Los Angeles home regularly for barbeques.
Actor Jason Priestley also accompanied him to the family fun days at Applegate’s residence.
It’s unclear if sparks flew before or after these visits.

Nevertheless, the pair hit it off and attended the Amnesty International Event in 1988.
Then they showed up together at the MTV Video Music Awards the following year.
The identity of the rebound guy remained undisclosed for a long time.

However, after the show aired, the enigmatic figure was revealed to be Skid Row rocker Sebastian Bach.
And she goes, ‘One night I ditched Brad Pitt for this other dude.’
And that dude would be me," Bach shared during the December 2016 broadcast [viaLoudwire].

Of course, that’s going in the book."
They only went out on a few dates, though nothing more came of their romance.
Still, there doesn’t appear to be any hard feelings between the two.
Pitt hasn’t spoken publicly about the courtship, and Applegate is happily married to musician Martyn LeNoble.
