AceShowbiz - Angelina Jolie and Akala secretly spent nights together in her hotel room amid persistent dating rumors. The actress reportedly sneaked her alleged boyfriend into her hotel suite in London, where they were holed up for two days in a row, during her trip to the capital of England last week.
"Angelina and Akala have been secretly spending nights together at her London hotel The Corinthia," a source told The U.S. Sun on Monday, October 21. "Angelina arrived at the hotel via the loading bay at around 8 P.M. on Wednesday before being joined by Akala at around 10 P.M."
"The pair spent Wednesday and Thursday night together inside the hotel and did not leave," the source added. Per the report, the Hollywood star and the rapper-turned-activist were holed up inside the hotel before having dinner at members' club Soho House following the premiere of her film "Maria".
"Akala was sneaked out of the hotel via one of Angelina's cars on Friday - a couple of hours before the BFI film premiere for her new movie," the source further divulged. "They are using separate cars and secret entrances to keep their relationship under wraps, but it's the real deal."
Akala was seen on the red carpet of the London premiere of "Maria", but he and Angelina posed separately. They went color-coordinated in black outfits at the event which took place at The Royal Festival Hall.
According to Daily Mail, the twosome grew close as Akala has been educating Angelina on Britain's colonial past and the country's prominent black figures. He reportedly has also introduced her to his family.
"Akala has been teaching Angelina Jolie a lot about Black British history as she looks for new source material for films," a source told the news outlet. "He introduced her to the Kelso Cochrane story. She is a keen historian so there have been a lot of conversations about Olive Morris and Kelso."
"They are seeing each other and hanging out regularly and Akala loves how fearless and independent she is," the source added. "They were introduced through a charitable venture they were both supporting, and Angelina has been interested in learning more about his activism and loves his sister's music."
Akala has met Angelina's family too. He was seen hugging her son Pax at the U.S. premiere of "Maria" in New York in September. Angelina's son Maddox and daughter Zahara also attended the event.
A separate source, meanwhile, insisted their is no romantic connection as Akala is dating Chanelle Newman, his business partner. It was previously reported that Angelina was friendly with Chanelle as all three of them have known each other for years. In Touch, however, claimed that Angie had been seeing Akala privately for over a year.
