Is Angelina Jolie Really Dating Rapper Akala? Here's What We Know

After her divorce from Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie has decided to move on from her past relationship and has been dedicating quality time to her children while focusing on her own life. Amid this fresh start, the actress has sparked rumours of a new romance with rapper Akala, as they have been seen together on multiple occasions in recent weeks. InTouch magazine reports that their relationship began about a year ago, with some sources claiming that Akala has introduced Jolie to his friends and family, further fueling speculation about their connection.

But the question remains: Is there any truth to it? While both Angelina Jolie and Akala continue to maintain silence over the speculations, a close source has cleared the air, explaining that the actress is just “close friends” with Akala and his partner.

According to a People’s report, the source even added that the rapper’s partner has been at every event that Jolie and Akala attended in the past. “They all work together. Angelina remains focused on her family and is not dating at this time,” it added.

The comments come just a few months after a source close to Jolie reiterated similar ideas to the magazine. In August, the source said, “They are not dating. She is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle, who was also there.” Another source at the time explained that the duo has been “friends for several years” and shares the same passion for social and humanitarian causes.

Despite the clarification, another report by the US Sun went up to claim that the Maleficent star reportedly spent two nights together at a London hotel last week. “The pair spent Wednesday and Thursday nights together inside the hotel and did not leave. Akala was snuck out of the hotel via one of Angelina’s cars on Friday—a couple of hours before the premiere of her new movie,” the source shared.

Later, the actor and the rapper both attended the film festival; however, they were seen arriving separately.

Angelina Jolie recently filed for divorce from her ex-husband Brad Pitt. The couple shares six kids, including Shiloh, Zahara, Maddox, Pax, and twins Vivienne and Knox.
