Off The Record
Angelina Jolie, 49, Is Showing Off Her New Boyfriend… And You Better Sit Down, Because You Might Recognize Him
According to insiders who spoke to the Daily Mail on Monday, Akala has presented the 49-year-old Oscar winner to his friends and family.
According to insiders, the two have become close because of their “shared love of history and his fountain of knowledge.”
Akala, 40, has reportedly been “educating Angelina on Britain’s colonial past and the country’s prominent Black figures.”
Regarding the purported relationship, the outlet’s sources claimed that “Akala has been teaching Angelina Jolie a lot about Black British history as she looks for new source material for films.”
“He introduced her to the Kelso Cochrane story. She is a keen historian so there have been a lot of conversations about Olive Morris and Kelso.”
The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress and Akala have not made their relationship public, but according to the insiders, he “loves how fearless and independent” Jolie is.
“They are seeing each other and hanging out regularly,” the sources added of the two – who were also spotted at the London Film Festival separately on Thursday.
According to the tabloid’s sources, Jolie has also shown interest in Ms. Dynamite, a British rapper who is Akala’s sister.
“They were introduced through a charitable venture they were both supporting, and Angelina has been interested in learning more about his activism and loves his sister’s music,” they said.
The mother of six and the musician from “Carried Away” have “no romantic connection,” according to a different source who spoke to the site.
They even claimed that Akala is seeing Chanelle Newman, his business partner.
This latest turn in Jolie and Akala’s romance coincides with a report that says they hung out at her London hotel.
“Angelina and Akala have been secretly spending nights together at her London hotel, The Corinthia,” a source told The Sun on Monday.
“Angelina arrived at the hotel via the loading bay at around 8pm on Wednesday before being joined by Akala at around 10pm. The pair spent Wednesday and Thursday night together inside the hotel and did not leave.”
Although Akala and Jolie are reportedly “using separate cars and secret entrances to keep their relationship under wraps” their romance is allegedly “the real deal.”
In addition to their recent excursion, the UK native and Jolie were photographed on September 29 at the New York Film Festival. Even Jolie’s 20-year-old son Pax, whom she shares with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, was spotted with them.
Prior to the film festival, on September 28, Akala and Jolie were seen at an event in New York City.
Prior to their 2016 divorce, Jolie was married to Pitt, 60, from 2014. They are still involved in divorce proceedings despite being officially proclaimed single in 2019.
