Angelina Jolie, 49, and Rumored Partner, 40, Spotted in Coordinated Outfits on the Red Carpet, Sparking Talks October 23, 2024 – by PEOU – Leave a Comment

Angelina Jolie and British rapper and activist Akala sparked fresh dating rumors after appearing together at the “Maria” premiere during the 68th BFI London Film Festival on October 18.

At the premiere, the “Maleficent” star exuded elegance as she walks the red carpet in a sleek black three-piece suit from Dolce & Gabbana’s men’s collection.

The 49-year-old acclaimed actress styled her long blonde hair with a side part and opted for minimal makeup. She finished her look with small gold stud earrings, adding a subtle hint of glamour. Similarly, Akala arrived in a style that complemented Angelina’s look.

The 40-year-old musician-activist wore a dark blue suit paired with a turtleneck and scarf, reflecting a sophisticated and polished appearance. He topped off the look with black sneakers, adding a modern touch. His loosely styled dreadlocks created a casual yet refined feel.

While the duo’s coordinated looks caught attention, reports from Page Six claimed they also spent two nights together at Angelina’s London hotel, intensifying the speculation.

Netizens quickly shared their opinions on Akala and Angelina’s rumored romance, with one suggesting it was not a romantic relationship.

Comparisons to Angelina’s ex-husband also emerged. One remarked, “He is definitely no Brad Pitt alright…,” while another expressed relief, “Thank goodness Brad got away!!! I feel bad for her children!!! She’s using them and filling their heads with hate for their Dad!!!”

Another critic sarcastically expressed sympathy for Akala, “Poor guy.” Others speculated about the potential drama between the rumored pair, labeling him as the “Next victim.”

Some users admired Akala’s involvement in the Hollywood actress’s life. “He’s a brave man,” one user stated, while another commented, “Good luck to him who ever [sic] he is!!!”

However, not all reactions were critical. Some celebrated Akala and Angelina’s possible relationship, “Good for her the man is handsome! ,” while another gushed, “They look like beautiful together .”

Akala and Angelina’s attendance at the film festival in London followed their two appearances in New York City in September and one in Italy in August 2024.

On September 29, Akala attended Angelina’s Atelier Jolie showroom event in New York City. Amid the lively atmosphere, one photo captured the movie star engaged in a conversation with artist Mustafa in front of the crowd.

Dressed in black, Angelina smiled as she listened to Mustafa, who wore a green traditional outfit. The graffiti-covered walls behind them added a creative vibe to the setting.

Another picture from the event captured Akala paying close attention to the dialogue, looking serious and dressed simply in a black shirt with neat cornrows.

In addition to the discussion, the event featured a special listening party for Mustafa’s debut album, “Dunya.” Several guests attended and enjoyed food, drinks, and conversations.

That same month in New York City, Angelina attended the “Maria” film premiere as part of the 62nd New York Film Festival with her two children, Pax and Zahara. Akala was also present at the event.

At the event, Akala and Pax shared a warm embrace, showing their close bond. Angelina looked proud as she observed their interaction.

Before the New York events, Akala and Angelina were spotted leaving her hotel in Venice, Italy, on August 28 during the Venice International Film Festival. This sighting also sparked various reactions online.

Some netizens expressed excitement about the potential pairing, while others were shocked. Skeptical users questioned the legitimacy of the rumors, with one expressing disbelief, noting that it was an unexpected pairing for 2024.

However, just a day after the duo’s appearance in Italy, People reported on August 29 that Akala had a partner named Chanelle Newman. A source clarified Angelina’s relationship with the couple, “She is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle, who was also there.”

Rumors of a romance between Akala and Angelina first began circulating in 2023 when Akala joined the actress and her daughters, Zahara and Shiloh at the 15th Calabash International Literary Festival in Jamaica.

Held in Treasure Beach, St. Elizabeth, the three-day event marked the festival’s return after being canceled in 2020 and 2022 due to COVID-19. The previous festival had last taken place in 2018.

In December 2023, they were seen together in Milan while she was filming the movie “Maria Callas.” The pair were accompanied by Pierfrancesco Consalvo, his partner, Anna Ferzetti, and Alba Rohrwacher.

Angelina and Akala appeared all smiles and completely at ease as they engaged in lively conversation and looked comfortable in each other’s company.

While the nature of Angelina and Akala’s relationship remains unclear, the “Wanted” actress opened up about her personal life, relationship status, and post-divorce plans in a 2023 Wall Street Journal interview.

In the interview, Angelina shared that wasn’t dating, admitting, “I don’t really have…a social life.” She also reflected on her friendships, noting that four out of her six closest friends are refugees from war and conflict.

When speaking about her family life, she emphasized her children’s growth and maturity. She expressed deep trust in them, describing her six kids as her “closest friends” and highlighting how their diverse personalities strengthen their bond.

Angelina also mentioned her intention to leave Los Angeles, a decision influenced by her experiences following her divorce. “I lost the ability to live and travel as freely. I will move when I can,” she said, expressing a desire to spend more time at her home in Cambodia.

She further reflected on her upbringing in a “shallow environment”, stating that Hollywood is “not a healthy place,” which has led her to “seek more authenticity” in her life.

Despite Angelina’s personal revelations about her dating and social life, her appearances with Akala have sparked speculation. Whether their connection is purely professional or something more, their bond continues to captivate the public.
