Angelina Jolie may still be entangled in a nasty divorce from her husband, Brad Pitt, but new love buzz is hitting the fickle circuit online. After that public separation from the famous actor’s husband, Jolie was rumored to have been involved in a romance with a British rapper/ political activist, Akala. Lionardo was rumored to have been in a relationship with Rieti after they both were photographed during the Venice International Film Festival in Italy.
However, as informed by the Daily Mail, the closeness between the two is not quite as sordid as the tabloid media portrays. Jolie’s friends have come out to dismiss the rumors, saying they have no romantic involvement. The Onset of a Heart source has revealed to People magazine that Jolie is just a friendship emotionally, with the activist indicating that he is in a relationship with his girlfriend, Chanell Newman.
According to the report, she was also seen with the two in Italy. A source close to the diva informed the portal that the two have several things in common: they are fond of social and humanitarian activities and have participated in several projects together. Although In Touch claimed that the actress had been secretly dating Akala for over a year, People confirmed that Jolie is still “single and not in a position to get serious with anyone.”
At the same time, recent weeks have been marked by Jolie’s divorce from Pitt, which has taken a toll on her as she has not hid it from the public. The couple, seen as one of the prominent couples in Hollywood, is now separated after a rough flight in 2016. Since then, Jolie has disclosed that she has undergone emotional ‘pain and despair’ in the past years.
