Angelina Jolie and ‘boyfriend’ Akala in sync as they twin in black
Angelina Jolie seemed to coordinate with her rumored boyfriend Akala at the London premiere of her new film Maria on Friday.
The 49-year-old Hollywood fixture — whose ex-husband Brad Pitt is dating Ines de Ramon — and her alleged beau, 40, each opted for black pants and blazers for the 68th BFI London Film Festival event.
Jolie flashed her smile for cameras as she walked the red carpet in a three-piece pantsuit that included a button-up vest.
She looked effortlessly stylish as she casually posed with her hands in her pockets, and her outfit was rounded out with square-toe, black, leather boots.
For his part, the musician-turned-activist wore a turtleneck under his coat and put a navy blue and gray two-toned scarf around his neck.

The paired fueled romance rumors when they were spotted emerging from the Maleficent star’s hotel during the Venice International Film Festival in August.
Angelina has been seen with Akala in public several other times since.
Amid dating rumors, sources have told People magazine that the two stars are just friends.
It comes as Jolie’s contentious split from ex Pitt, now centered around their once-shared winery, rages on.
Speculation about Angelina and Akala’s relationship status began when the political activist joined the actress and her daughters Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18, at the Calabash Literary Festival in Jamaica in May 2023.
An eyewitness shared at the time shared that Akala, born Kingslee James McLean Daley, was ‘very protective of them as he shepherded them around.’
They enjoyed dinner together in Milan six months later, In Touch later reported.
In addition to Zahara and Shiloh, Jolie and Pitt share sons Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

Meanwhile, Brad has moved on with new girlfriend Ines de Ramon, 31.
