In Touch claimed in May this year that the actress was not only dating the 40-year-old activist but also another British musician.
“Angelina has been seeing two different men over the past year or so,” a source claimed to the outlet in May.
However, other sources quelled dating rumors and claimed there is no romance blooming between the Oscar winner and Akala.
Sources claimed the Oscar winner is just "friends" with the British musician, who is reportedly in a relationship with girlfriend Chanelle Newman
Reports also previously said that Akala has a girlfriend named Chanelle Newman.
“She and Akala are not dating. She is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle, who was also there,” a source told People in August.
Sources said they have been friends for “several years” and that the famous mother-of-six speaks “very highly” of him.
“They share the same passion when it comes to social and humanitarian causes,” a second source told the outlet. “They did several collabs over the years that focus on global issues like human rights. Angie speaks very highly of him.”
“She and Akala are not dating. She is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle, who was also there,” a source said about Angelina's relationship with Akala
Last year, the Maleficent actress said she wasn’t dating anyone and doesn’t “really have…a social life.”
“I realized my closest friends are refugees,” she added while speaking with WSJ Magazine in December. “Maybe four out of six of the women that I am close to are from war and conflict.”
