‘It’s no longer a Rumor’ Angelina Jolie, 49, and boyfriend Akala, 40, made their relationship official after spending two nights together in her London hotel as Angelina made a major announcement
Angelina Jolie’s rumored romance with British rapper Akala is reportedly heating up.
The “Maleficent” star, 49, reportedly snuck the 40-year-old musician up to her hotel suite at The Corinthia in London last week, sources told the US Sun Monday.
“The pair spent Wednesday and Thursday night together inside the hotel and did not leave,” the insider shared, explaining Akala joined the actress two hours after she arrived.
“Akala was snuck out of the hotel via one of Angelina’s cars on Friday — a couple of hours before the [British Film Institute] premiere for her new movie,” the source added, referring to Jolie’s forthcoming movie, “Maria,” which was showed at the London Film Festival.
“They are using separate cars and secret entrances to keep their relationship under wraps, but it’s the real deal,” the insider continued.
The “Eternals” star and Akala both attended the film festival, though they were photographed arriving separately.
After the premiere, they cozied up for a romantic dinner at the exclusive Soho House, per the outlet.
Reps for Jolie weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
The “Girl, Interrupted” star and Akala have been romantically linked since May 2024 when the latter attended the Calabash Literary Festival in Jamaica alongside Jolie and her daughters Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18.
The singer, most recently, accompanied the “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” star to a party at her Atelier Jolie art room in New York City on Sept. 28.
That same week, Akala also tagged along to the premiere of “Maria” at the New York Film Festival hosted at Alice Lincoln Center’s Tully Hall.
While InTouch reported that the duo had been seeing each other for at least a year, a source told People in August that they are not dating.
The insider explained the two pals “share the same passion when it comes to social and humanitarian causes.”
The mom of six was last romantically linked to her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, whom she separated from in 2016.
Along with Zahara and Shiloh, the exes share Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
