At one point, Angelina looked joyful as she watched Akala and Pax interact during the 62nd New York Film Festival. The bond between them was evident, as Pax and Akala were later seen sharing a warm embrace.
Akala’s New York appearances at Angelina’s events came just a month after the two were spotted leaving her hotel in Venice, Italy, on August 28, during the Venice International Film Festival. This sighting also sparked various reactions online.

While some netizens expressed excitement about the potential pairing, others were shocked. Skeptical users have also questioned the legitimacy of the rumors, with many finding the idea hard to believe. A netizen expressed their disbelief, “Akala dating Angelina Jolie was not on my 2024 bingo card 🤣.”
A day after the duo’s appearance in Italy, People reported on August 29 that Akala has a partner named Chanelle Newman. A source clarified Angelina’s relationship with the couple, “She is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle, who was also there.”

Rumors of a romance between Akala and Angelina first began circulating in 2023 when Akala joined the actress and her daughters, Zahara and Shiloh at the 15th Calabash International Literary Festival in Jamaica.
Held in Treasure Beach, St. Elizabeth, the three-day event marked the festival’s return after being canceled in 2020 and 2022 due to COVID-19. The previous festival had last taken place in 2018.
