Angelina Jolie is reportedly not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship following her tumultuous split from Brad Pitt. Despite rumors swirling around her and British rapper Akala, whose real name is Kingslee James McLean Daley, sources close to the actress insist that their connection is purely platonic.
The 49-year-old actress, who has been seen with Akala on multiple occasions, is said to be delighted with their friendship rather than a romantic involvement. A source told People Magazine, “She and Akala are not dating. She is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle, who was also there.”
Another insider confirmed that Angelina and Akala share common interests, particularly in social and humanitarian causes, but there’s nothing romantic between them. “They share the same passion when it comes to social and humanitarian causes. They did several collabs over the years that focus on global issues like human rights. Angie speaks very highly of him,” the source added.
For those unfamiliar with the backstory, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in 2016, citing instances of physical abuse. Their high-profile split captured media attention for years, with the legal battle over custody of their children being a significant focus. In 2021, a judge granted the former couple joint custody of their children, marking a significant development in their ongoing legal proceedings.
Despite the challenges she has faced in her personal life, Jolie remains focused on her humanitarian work and her children. Her friendship with Akala, rooted in shared values and causes, appears to be another example of her dedication to making a positive impact on the world, without the complications of a romantic relationship.
As rumors continue to circulate, it’s clear that Angelina Jolie is content with her current path, prioritizing meaningful connections and global advocacy over seeking new romantic relationships.
