Angelina Jolie has become Instagram official with her alleged boyfriend Akala. The 40-year-old artist could be seen at a party organized by Jolie, 49, for her company Atelier Jolie; The images were posted on her Atelier Jolie Instagram page.

Also at the event was Zoe Kravitz, who also appeared in the Instagram post.
Jolie has been seen in public several times with Akala amid her ongoing and bitter split from Pitt, even though sources have told People that they are just friends.
The actress sparked romance rumors with Akala when the couple was spotted leaving their hotel in Italy during the Venice International Film Festival in August.
In Touch claimed that the actress had been privately dating the musician for “over a year.”
The rumors began when Akala joined Jolie and her daughters Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18, at the Calabash Literary Festival in Jamaica in May last year.
A witness shared at the time that Akala was “very protective of them while herding them.”
They enjoyed dinner together in Milan six months later, In Touch also claimed.
In addition to Zahara and Shiloh, Jolie and her ex-husband Pitt share children Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15.

However, a source said People that Jolie ‘is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle (Newman), who was also there.’
Newman is his business partner and manager.
However, Jolie and Akala share a strong bond, with a second source claiming: ‘They share the same passion when it comes to social and humanitarian causes.
‘They did several collaborations over the years that focus on global issues such as human rights. Angie speaks highly of him.
People’s source claimed that Jolie is “currently single and not seriously dating.”
MailOnline has contacted Jolie’s representatives for comment.
Jolie and Akala were spotted outside their hotel in Venice in August; He called it quits in 2021 and left her at the Venice Film Festival on August 29.
Here she is seen with several artists at an event for artist Mickalene Thomas at Atelier Jolie.
Akala, born Kingslee James McLean Daley, started out as a rapper before turning to political activism, supporting former Labor MP Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 UK general election.
Her older sister is also the famous singer and rapper Ms. Dynamite.
Ms. Dynamite, 43, whose real name is Niomi Arleen McLean-Daley, enjoyed a string of hits in the early 2000s with her debut album A Little Deeper, which won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.
Akala is reportedly in a relationship with Chanelle Newman, co-founder and executive producer of Akala’s music and the Hip-hop Shakespeare Company.
In Touch also claimed that the Maleficent star has also been dating another man, Broadway composer Justin Levine.
Jolie and Levine were seen together on Monday at A New York Evening With The Outsiders at The Greene Space in New York City.
“Angelina has been dating two different men for the last year,” a source told the outlet.
Levine, a Tony Award winner, was part of the Broadway production of The Outsiders, the musical that Jolie produced.
In Touch reports that he co-wrote the book and the music for the play. Jolie’s daughter Vivienne also worked as a production assistant on the show.
“Angie just adores Justin and they’ve spent so much time together that a lot of people think the relationship could turn romantic,” the source said.
A source also shared with the site that the men are “totally different,” but Jolie is “falling in love with both of them.”
The new romance rumors come five years after Jolie was declared legally single to Pitt.
Akala and Justin aren’t the first two men Jolie has been linked to since her divorce. Several years ago, she was seen with musician The Weekend.
Akala, 40, born Kingslee James McLean Daley, started out as a rapper before turning to political activism, supporting former Labor MP Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 UK general election.
Akala also has a famous older sister, the singer and rapper, Ms. Dynamite (pictured in 2009).
Jolie and Pitt’s separation has been public and has also affected their six children. Earlier this month, his 18-year-old daughter Shiloh legally dropped her father’s last name.
Shiloh, who hired and paid her own attorney when she filed to have Pitt’s name removed on her 18th birthday in May, filed to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
There have been lengthy custody battles that ultimately ended in a victory for Pitt, who won 50-50 custody in 2021 only to have it overturned on appeal.
The current situation has caused the children to form a tight group of seven with his ex-wife.

Meanwhile, Brad has been dating Inés de Ramón for two years.
DailyMail.com has exclusively learned that De Ramon has “forbid” her friends, family and even work contacts from talking about her and Pitt’s relationship and even made them sign non-disclosure agreements to “build trust.”
It was stated that he hopes to create a very strong bond with Pitt that could lead to marriage.
Jolie has hinted at the heavy emotional toll her divorce from Brad Pitt has taken on her, saying she has been through “despair” and “pain” (pictured in 2015).
