In December 2023, they were seen together in Milan while she was filming the movie “Maria Callas.” The pair were accompanied by Pierfrancesco Consalvo, his partner, Anna Ferzetti, and Alba Rohrwacher.
Angelina and Akala appeared all smiles and completely at ease as they engaged in lively conversation and looked comfortable in each other’s company.
Angelina also mentioned her intention to leave Los Angeles, a decision influenced by her experiences following her divorce. “I lost the ability to live and travel as freely. I will move when I can,” she said, expressing a desire to spend more time at her home in Cambodia.
She further reflected on her upbringing in a “shallow environment”, stating that Hollywood is “not a healthy place,” which has led her to “seek more authenticity” in her life.
Despite Angelina’s personal revelations about her dating and social life, her appearances with Akala have sparked speculation. Whether their connection is purely professional or something more, their bond continues to captivate the public.
