## Angelina Jolie, 49, Is Allegedly Showing Off a New “Boyfriend” — But the Details Are Murky
Hollywood icon Angelina Jolie, now 49, has once again sparked romance rumours — this time centred around her purported new partner, the British rapper and activist Akala (age 40).
### What’s the buzz?
Over the past year, paparazzi and media outlets have documented several occasions where Jolie and Akala appeared close together:
* They *both* attended an event in New York City for Jolie’s creative venture Atelier Jolie, which featured a listening party for an album by artist Mustafa. Akala appeared in the gallery of photos shared on the Atelier Jolie Instagram account. ([Bored Panda][1])
* At the 68th BFI London Film Festival premiere of Jolie’s film Maria, she and Akala attended in similar all-black outfits — sparking speculation of coordinated appearance. ([HELLO!][2])
* A report claimed the pair spent two nights together in a London hotel suite, arriving separately but exiting in Jolie’s vehicle. ([Al Bawaba][3])
Such sightings have fueled narratives that Jolie is “showing off” a new boyfriend — especially given the seemingly public nature of some appearances.
### But here’s the catch — it’s **not** confirmed.
Despite the flurry of paparazzi and tabloid coverage, there’s no definitive confirmation of a romantic relationship. In fact, several reliable sources say the two are simply friends and collaborators:
* A source close to Jolie told *People* magazine: “She remains focused on her family and is not dating at this time.” ([People.com][4])
* Earlier statements stressed that Jolie and Akala share humanitarian and creative interests, and that Akala’s partner (co-working with him) has been present at the events they attended together. ([infomagazin.net][5])
### Why the rumours persist
Jolie has been in the public eye for decades — as an actress, humanitarian, mother of six, and for her past high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt. Amid ongoing media interest in her personal life, any male companion she appears with becomes a potential “boyfriend” story. In this case:
* Akala is a recognizable figure in UK music and activism, adding interest for international media.
* The age gap (Jolie 49, Akala 40) and the fact she’s rarely photographed in romantic settings lend novelty to the rumours.
* The combination of public appearances, social media galleries, and shared professional interests creates narrative fodder (“They’re working together… or maybe more?”).
### What we *do* know
* Jolie is 49 and remains very active professionally and personally (films, her organisation, family).
* Akala is a British rapper/activist, age 40, with a public profile in the UK.
* The two have definitely attended events together and publicly appeared in mutual spaces.
* There is no definitive proof of a romantic relationship — and multiple sources state this is not the case.
### Why this matters (for Jolie)
Angelina Jolie has been very deliberate about her public persona in recent years: putting her children first, structuring her professional ventures, and navigating her post-Pitt era with care. According to an insider: she is “ready to date again, but on her terms.” ([The News][6])
Any perceived “new boyfriend” story therefore becomes interesting not just for gossip, but for what it might indicate about where she is emotionally and in her life journey.
### The takeaway
While the headline “Angelina Jolie shows off new boyfriend” certainly draws clicks, the reality seems more nuanced: Jolie and Akala **may** be friends and collaborators with occasional public visibility — but there is **no confirmed romantic relationship** as of now.
