Angelina Jolie has reignited rumours of a romance with British rapper and political activist Akala.
The duo were spotted together on Wednesday as they left a hotel in Venice, Italy, during the Venice International Film Festival.
In contact claims Jolie, 49, has been in an on-and-off relationship with the journalist and author, 40, for more than a year.
The publication reports that Akala attended the Calabash Literary Festival in Jamaica with Jolie and her daughters Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18, last May.
An eyewitness said at the time that Akala was “very protective of them as he showed them around.”

Six months later, they had dinner together in Milan, the publication also reported.
An insider told In Touch that Jolie is mainly attracted to Akala because she wants to see how he interacts with her children.
Besides Zahara and Shiloh, Angelina and her ex-husband Brad Pitt also have sons: Maddox (22), Pax (20) and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
“I think she’s mostly attracted to Akala, besides the physical aspect, because she sees how he interacts with her kids, which is really important to her,” the insider said.
The source further explained that Jolie and Akala “bonded” over their shared interests: activism, travel and experiencing different lifestyles.
“They bonded over their interest in activism and shared a passion for travel and exploring different cultures. It’s been a long time since they felt this kind of connection,” they said.
Akala, 40, – born Kingslee James McLean Daley – started out as a rapper before turning to political activism and supporting former Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 UK general election.
His older sister is also the famous singer and rapper Ms. Dynamite.

Ms Dynamite, 43 – real name Niomi Arleen McLean-Daley – scored a string of hits in the early 2000s with her debut album A Little Deeper, which won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.
The publication also claims that the Maleficent star is dating another man, namely Broadway composer Justin Levine.
“Angelina has been seeing two different men over the past year,” a source told the newspaper.
Tony Award-winner Levine starred in the Broadway production of The Outsiders, the musical that Jolie produced.
In Touch reports that he co-wrote the book and music for the play. Jolie’s daughter Vivienne also worked as an assistant producer on the program.

“Angie adores Justin and they spend so much time together that many people think the relationship could become romantic,” the source said.
An insider also told the site that the men are “completely different,” but that Jolie is “in love with both of them.”
The new romance rumors come five years after Jolie was officially declared single by Pitt.
Jolie and her movie star husband split in 2016 after a conflict on a plane.
She has said in court documents that he attacked her and several of their six children, throwing wine and beer on the family in anger. He has always denied being violent toward her or the family.
Akala and Justin aren’t the first two men Jolie has been linked to since her divorce.
A few years ago she was linked to musician The Weekend.
