Contrary to recent rumors, Angelina Jolie and rapper Akala are not romantically involved, but share a strong friendship grounded in their mutual passion for social and humanitarian causes. Multiple sources confirmed that Jolie, 49, and Akala, 40, have been friends for several years and often collaborate on global human rights initiatives. Speculation about their relationship arose after they were seen together in Venice and at other events, but insiders clarified that Akala is in a relationship with someone else and was accompanied by his partner. Jolie, who is currently single, continues to focus on her humanitarian work and her six children from her previous marriage to Brad Pitt. Both Jolie and Pitt are attending the 2024 Venice Film Festival to promote their respective new films.
