At the premiere, the “Maleficent” star exuded elegance as she walks the red carpet in a sleek black three-piece suit from Dolce & Gabbana’s men’s collection.

The 40-year-old musician-activist wore a dark blue suit paired with a turtleneck and scarf, reflecting a sophisticated and polished appearance. He topped off the look with black sneakers, adding a modern touch. His loosely styled dreadlocks created a casual yet refined feel.

While the duo’s coordinated looks caught attention, reports from Page Six claimed they also spent two nights together at Angelina’s London hotel, intensifying the speculation.

Another critic sarcastically expressed sympathy for Akala, “Poor guy😁😁.” Others speculated about the potential drama between the rumored pair, labeling him as the “Next victim.”

However, not all reactions were critical. Some celebrated Akala and Angelina’s possible relationship, “Good for her the man is handsome! 👍🏾,” while another gushed, “They look like beautiful together 😊.”

On September 29, Akala attended Angelina’s Atelier Jolie showroom event in New York City. Amid the lively atmosphere, one photo captured the movie star engaged in a conversation with artist Mustafa in front of the crowd.

In addition to the discussion, the event featured a special listening party for Mustafa’s debut album, “Dunya.” Several guests attended and enjoyed food, drinks, and conversations.

At the event, Akala and Pax shared a warm embrace, showing their close bond. Angelina looked proud as she observed their interaction.

Some netizens expressed excitement about the potential pairing, while others were shocked. Skeptical users questioned the legitimacy of the rumors, with one expressing disbelief, noting that it was an unexpected pairing for 2024.

Rumors of a romance between Akala and Angelina first began circulating in 2023 when Akala joined the actress and her daughters, Zahara and Shiloh at the 15th Calabash International Literary Festival in Jamaica.

Angelina and Akala appeared all smiles and completely at ease as they engaged in lively conversation and looked comfortable in each other’s company.

In the interview, Angelina shared that wasn’t dating, admitting, “I don’t really have…a social life.” She also reflected on her friendships, noting that four out of her six closest friends are refugees from war and conflict.

Angelina also mentioned her intention to leave Los Angeles, a decision influenced by her experiences following her divorce. “I lost the ability to live and travel as freely. I will move when I can,” she said, expressing a desire to spend more time at her home in Cambodia.

Despite Angelina’s personal revelations about her dating and social life, her appearances with Akala have sparked speculation. Whether their connection is purely professional or something more, their bond continues to captivate the public.
