AceShowbiz - Despite speculation, sources confirm that Angelina Jolie and British rapper Akala are just friends. The pair have been spotted together at several events, fueling rumors of a romantic relationship.

Angelina Jolie and British rapper Akala, born Kingslee James 'Akala' McLean Daley, have sparked romance rumors after being spotted together multiple times, including at Jolie's Atelier Jolie event in New York City and the premiere of her film "Maria" at the New York Film Festival.

However, sources close to both parties have denied the rumors, stating that they are "just friends." Akala is reportedly in a committed relationship with Chanelle Newman, co-founder of his Hip-hop Shakespeare Company.

Despite the denials, the public's fascination with the potential pairing has intensified online, with some expressing surprise and even skepticism about the nature of their relationship.

Jolie has been single since her high-profile split from Brad Pitt in 2016. The former couple has six children together: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox.

Despite their divorce, Jolie and Pitt continue to be embroiled in a custody battle, and several of their children have reportedly distanced themselves from Pitt.

While Jolie's personal life has been the subject of much media attention throughout her career, she has only been in a handful of serious relationships. She has prioritized her acting and humanitarian work in recent years.
