Angelina Jolie and Akala Spark Romance Rumors in London
Jolie, an Oscar-winning actress and filmmaker, is said to be fascinated by Akala’s knowledge of Britain’s colonial past and prominent Black figures in history, with conversations ranging from the story of Kelso Cochrane to activist Olive Morris.
Sources revealed that Akala has been “educating” Jolie on Black British history as she seeks new material for her film projects.
Despite keeping their relationship largely under wraps, the pair has been spotted at various events, including the New York Film Festival in September, where they were seen with Jolie’s son, Pax.
Though neither Jolie nor Akala have publicly confirmed their relationship, insiders claim they are regularly spending time together and are growing closer by the day.
The two reportedly spent two consecutive nights together at her London hotel last week, further igniting speculation.
Shared Interests and Private Bonding
Jolie and Akala are believed to have bonded over their love of history and activism.
Akala’s deep knowledge of Black British history has piqued Jolie’s interest, as she reportedly looks for new film projects based on untold historical stories.
This connection, along with Akala’s admiration for Jolie’s fearlessness and independence, has strengthened their rumoured relationship.
Their relationship reportedly began after they were introduced through a charitable venture, and Jolie has since taken an interest in Akala’s activism and his sister Ms. Dynamite’s music.
However, some sources suggest there may not be a romantic connection, with claims that Akala is seeing his business partner, Chanelle Newman.
Keeping It Low-Key
Despite public speculation, Jolie and Akala have taken measures to keep their relationship private, using separate cars and secret entrances during their time together in London.
Nonetheless, sources close to the duo claim that their romance is genuine, and they continue to grow closer, both professionally and personally.
