LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Angelina Jolie is reportedly ready to enter the dating scene again after her tumultuous divorce from Brad Pitt.
The actress is rumored to be dating rapper Akala after they were frequently spotted together, including meeting at her London hotel suite recently.
However, sources suggest that while she is open to dating, her relationship with Akala may not be serious.

A source close to Angelina Jolie told In Touch Weekly, “Angie is ready to date again, although it’s unknown if she and Akala are really an item. Whoever she dates next will have to adhere to her rules, though.”
These rules prioritize her children, with the source adding, “The kids come first. She also wants to be wooed. Angie has been through a lot since she filed for divorce from Brad. She doesn’t want to jump into anything; she wants to be courted and won over.”
Akala and the 'Girl, Interrupted' star have reportedly been in a romantic relationship since May 2024, following a trip to Jamaica that Jolie took with her daughters Shiloh, 18, and Zahara, 19.
Angelina Jolie's family and career
Angelina Jolie has six children, aged 16 to 23, three of whom she adopted before marrying Brad Pitt. The former couple began dating in 2005 after meeting on the set of 'Mr & Mrs Smith', got married in 2014, and separated two years later.
Their divorce was finalized in 2019, but they have since faced ongoing legal disputes over allegations of verbal and physical abuse and property issues.
Most recently, on September 28, Akala attended a party at Jolie's Atelier Jolie art room in New York City. He also joined her at the New York Film Festival's premiere of 'Maria', a biopic about opera singer Maria Callas, directed by Pablo Larraín.
Alongside her personal life, Jolie is making waves in her professional career with a significant film comeback.
The film premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival in August and has received positive reviews.
Jolie's performance as Callas has been praised, positioning her as a frontrunner for the Oscars this year. The film is set for a limited theatrical release in November before streaming on Netflix starting December 11.
