Looking fabulously chic in an all-black tailored suit, Angelina beamed as she walked the red carpet, keeping a hand in her pocket as she posed for the cameras.
Akala, 40, quickly followed, wearing a similar all-black suit with a navy scarf around his neck.
The British rapper, social activist and journalist has been rumoured to be connected to Angelina for the past year, with the pair being spotted around the world together.
However, neither party have confirmed any kind of romance, with Angelina having no public relationship since her split from Brad Pitt, with whom she split in 2016.
Brad and Angelina were together from 2004, and had a 12-year relationship and two-year marriage, as well as six children together, both adopted and biological.
Angelina’s connection to Akala dates back to November 2023, where they were seen leaving a restaurant in Milan while Angelina was filming her new biopic.
This August, Akala joined Angelina at the Venice Film Festival, where Maria first premiered, before leaving a hotel together.
At the beginning of October, he was in the crowd as Angelina took to the stage in New York for an event for her company, Atelier Jolie.
Celebrating artist Mustafa at 57 Great Jones, hosting a special listening party and panel discussion for his debut album, Dunya, Angelina took to the stage for a Q+A.
While they weren’t photographed together, Akala was a notable attendee with a photograph posted of him watching the discussion on the official Instagram.
It’s believed that the pair have become close friends over the years thanks to their shared political and social causes.
TMZ have reported that Akala has a girlfriend, who remains out of the public eye, but she is also close to Angelina with the trio “good friends”.
