Of course, it seemed that Angelina Jolie may not mind being in love again. Therefore, the Hollywood star was captured together with her older man, a young man named Akala, a British rapper. Jolie, 49, ensured the relationship became viral when she announced the family through a social media platform.
For the past few months, most people have been seeing Jolie and Akala together from New York, which has boosted the speculation that the two are in a romantic relationship.
Jolie was previously engaged in a very public relationship with Hollywood actor Brad Pitt. Their union ended in 2016 in what was pegged as one of the most bitter separations, with the couple having to resolve issues related to their children in court.
Social Media Confirmation: Jolie’s Instagram Post:
The speculation began after Jolie posted a carousel on her Atelier Jolie Instagram page to showcase her designs. The post included 40-year-old Akala next to Jolie at a recent event. The photos started with the rapper at the event, and several of them even got together.
The caption that accompanied the photos was:
- Atelier Jolie welcomed Mustafa at 57 Great.
- Jones addressed his listening party.
- There was a panel discussion about his new album, Dunya, which has now been released.
Welcome to this beautiful compilation of twelve tracks, the fusion of folk with poetry. The album is out now everywhere possible for streaming.”
Apart from Akala and Jolie, Zoe Kravitz, the director and actor of Cat Woman, also participated in the event. The two have been rumored to be an item, but according to Daily Express US, they are simply friends.
Angelina Jolie and Akala Public Appearances:
It is only rumored that something romantic blossoms between Jolie and Akala after they are seen at many official functions. However, the rapper accompanied Jolie to the 62nd New York Film Festival, where they were sighted at the premiere of Maria, her upcoming movie.
They were also seen coming out of Jolie’s hotel together while in Italy for the Venice International Film Festival in August 2023. These sightings have kept the rumors of the two dating going high, even with some quarters stating that the two have been in a secret dating affair for over a year now.
Akala Joins Angelina Jolie Family Event:
As if that were not enough, Akala was photographed with Jolie and her children Zahara and Shiloh at the Calabash Literary Festival held in Jamaica in May 2023. It was reported that the rapper looked very concerned about protecting the family and was always with them during the function. This fed more speculation that Akala could be a big part of Jolie’s private life, if not a boyfriend.
Although Jolie’s relationship with Akala has not been confirmed as romantic, the recent meetings and friendly interaction between the two that have persisted in going viral leave a lot to be desired about the sort of relationship the two have. For whatever reason, whether they are just dating or simply good friends, Jolie’s recent posts and actions with Akala have raised eyebrows among fans and the media.
