Angelina Jolie has been spotted spending time with The Weeknd, sparking speculation the pair are an item.
Angelina Jolie and The Weeknd fuel dating rumours
The Maleficent star, 46, arrived separately from the Blinding Lights singer, 31, at Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California, on Saturday night. However, after a couple of hours inside, they were photographed leaving together.
Dressed in a chic black trench coat, black stockings, an Yves Saint Laurent purse, heels and a face mask, Jolie was seen walking behind The Weeknd, who was also decked out in all black.
They were not seen holding hands or packing on any PDA outside the eatery.
Giorgio Baldi appears to be a favourite dining place for the Hollywood duo, as it was also the setting for their first-ever sighting together in June.
At the time, Jolie and The Weeknd’s outing shocked many since the pair had not been known to hang out together before.
However, a source implied to Page Six at the time that the entertainers were simply meeting up for business and not pleasure.
“They’re clearly not trying to hide [the dinner date],” the insider told us. “He’s definitely focused on getting to the movie business. He has the new HBO series he’s starring in.”
The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, is set to co-write and star in the new HBO series The Idol, which he co-created with Reza Fahim and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson.
It is unclear if the Earned It singer is courting Jolie to try to cast her in his show.
Shortly after their first dinner date, The Weeknd and Jolie were spotted at the same concert.
Reps for both did not immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.
The Weeknd previously dated Bella Hadid in 2015, breaking up in 2016 and reuniting in 2017 after he had a 10-month fling with Selena Gomez. They split for good in 2019.
Meanwhile, Jolie separated from Brad Pitt in 2016, and they share six kids: Maddox, 20, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 13.
Prior to her meetups with The Weeknd, it was reported that the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider star was reconnecting with ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller. She was photographed leaving her British ex’s apartment building in Brooklyn in June.
