What's Going On With The Weeknd and Angelina Jolie? An Investigation
Ever since The Weeknd and Angelina Jolie were spotted leaving the same restaurant moments apart last month, the romance rumours have been swirling. But are there actually sparks flying between the two, or is it just a case of two friends/colleagues simply hanging out? Currently, it’s looking a lot like the latter. According to Page Six, The Weeknd is focused on furthering his acting career after appearing in 2019’s Uncut Gems – he’s currently developing a new HBO series, The Idol, which he’s co-writing and starring in – so who better to get advice from than Angelina, right? If you’re still not convinced, let’s assess the evidence ahead, shall we?

June 30, 2021: The Dinner That Started It All
The Weeknd and Angelina first made headlines when they were photographed grabbing dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles. Despite the fact that they left separately and were never photographed together, the romance rumours immediately began swirling. However, it’s possible that the dinner was simply a business meeting and maybe The Weeknd was just trying to get some pointers from Angelina. After all, he does have a new HBO show on the way, and Angelina is an accomplished actress.

July 10, 2021: Angelina and The Weeknd Attend the Same Concert
A little over a week later, The Weeknd and Angelina were both spotted at a private Mustafa the Poet concert in Los Angeles. The singer appeared to be there with friends, while Angelina was joined by her kids. It doesn’t look like they were in any photos together, so it may just have been a coincidence that they were both there at the same time.
From the looks of it, The Weeknd and Angelina’s relationship seems to be strictly platonic. I mean, they haven’t even been photographed together, yet the romance rumours are already on overdrive. Not every outing between two people has to be romantic, you know?
