Angelina Jolie has arrived at the Venice Film Festival, where she will present her new film on August 29th, portraying the opera diva Maria Callas. The actress was not alone at the event; she was accompanied by 40-year-old rapper Akala, whose real name is Kingslee McLean Daley.
Rumors of a romance between Jolie and the musician first surfaced in the spring. The two reportedly met at a literary festival. While it is known that they are staying at the same hotel, they have been trying to avoid public outings together to steer clear of media attention.

Photos published by the Daily Mail show Jolie looking genuinely happy for the first time in a long while. However, the exact nature of her relationship with the rapper remains unclear.
Her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, is also expected to attend the festival, but they are unlikely to cross paths.
Jolie and Pitt announced their engagement in 2012 after seven years together and were married from 2014 to 2019. The former couple shares six children. In 2016, Jolie filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences and accusing Pitt of domestic violence.
