Photos of Angelina Jolie and Akala at a film festival have fueled speculation among netizens, with some questioning if their appearances together are just “business.”
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.”
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.
