Angelina Jolie was spotted in Los Angeles for the first time since traveling to New York City and London to promote her film Maria.
The 49-year-old Oscar-winning actress appeared blonder than ever as she smiled, dressed in a dark suit paired with boots and a large purse on Tuesday.
Brad Pitt’s ex complemented her look with oversized black sunglasses, pink lipstick, and pale pink manicured nails.
The mother of six appeared to be heading to a business meeting as she walked through a parking lot.
This marks her first public appearance since sources clarified details about her reported relationship with British rapper Akala.
A new report claims that Salt star Angelina Jolie and musician Akala are just friends, despite spending private time together at her London hotel, according to The Sun.
Although there has been months of speculation about a possible romance between them, a source insists their relationship is strictly platonic.
Akala, 40, is reportedly already in a relationship, and his partner is also friendly with the actress, a source told People.
The trio allegedly «all work together,» and Akala’s partner attends «every event» with them, the source added.
The outlet also reported that the Oscar-winning actress and the musician stayed at her hotel—The Corinthia in London—for two consecutive nights.
According to their sources, Akala arrived after Jolie, and the two later had a private dinner at Soho House.

According to the outlet, Akala was allegedly escorted out the back by his handlers.
Rumors of a romance began in May when In Touch reported that Angelina Jolie and Akala had been dating for «more than a year.»
Speculation intensified in August when the two were reportedly seen leaving a Venice hotel together during the Venice Film Festival, reigniting dating rumors.
However, a source told People, «She and Akala are not dating. She is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle, who was also there.»
The insider added that Jolie and Akala have been friends for «several years» and share a strong passion for social and humanitarian causes.
The source also noted that they have collaborated on multiple projects over the years, focusing on global issues such as human rights, and that «Angie speaks very highly of him.»
