Just a few months ago, she confirmed that she was still single. “I don’t really have… a social life,” Angelina Jolie told WSJ Magazine in December, adding that she was still healing from her nasty breakup with Brad Pitt and her six children are “the people closest to me in my life”. life, and they are my best friends. We are seven very different people, that is our strength.”
But now, she’s added a few more. “Angelina has been dating two different men for the past year or so,” a source exclusively told In Touch. One was the British musician, author and activist Akala, who had met her abroad several times, while the other, Broadway composer Justin Levine, worked with her on the musical Outsiders in NYC. “They were completely different men, but she loved both of them.”
She and Akala have been secretly seeing each other for more than a year now. The 40-year-old London native, whose real name is Kingslee James McLean Daley, met Angelina, 48, and daughters Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18, at the Calabash Literary Festival in Jamaica in May 2023. “He was very protective of them as he herded them around,” a witness said at the time. Six months later, Angelina and Akala had dinner together in Milan. “I think a big part of her attraction to Akala, beyond the physical, is seeing him interact with her kids because that’s so important to her,” the source said. “They connected over their interests in activities and shared passion for travel and exploring different cultures. It’s been a while since she felt this kind of attraction.”
But when it rains, it rains. Angelina has also grown close to Tony Award winner Justin Levine, who co-wrote the book and scored The Outsiders, which she produced. “I love the story, but most of all I love the people who created it,” she said on opening night in New York on April 11, standing next to Justin and her 15-year-old daughter, Vivienne, who also worked on the film. manufacture. Justin echoed her sentiments. “When you write a musical, your family gets bigger and bigger, and here are two members of one family,” he said, referring to the beaming Angelina and Vivienne. The source added: “Angie loves Justin so much and they have been spending so much time together that many people think the relationship could become romantic.”
She is ready. “For years, Angelina didn’t even think about dating,” the source said. “Not only was she heartbroken and hurt after the divorce, but she was also determined to focus on herself, her health and her children. It took a long time for her to get here, but Angelina is gradually opening up to new relationships.”
