The Weeknd and Angelina Jolie sparked dating rumors after being spotted together in Los Angeles over the weekend.
On Wednesday night, Paparazzi caught the pair walking out of Giorgio Baldi, an Italian restaurant, reported the Daily Mail. Jolie and The Weeknd spent two-and-a-half hours in the eatery before they left together. The actress reportedly accompanied the “Can’t Feel My Face” singer to his mansion in Bel-Air.

This is the second time Jolie and The Weeknd have been seen together. In July, they met at the same restaurant for dinner.
A source told The Sun the pair’s first meeting was actually in June, while Jolie was in New York with her children. The Maleficent star reportedly brought her 17-year-old son Pax with her.
“Ange has been in contact with Abel for a while. He was in New York at the same time as her and the kids. They met up for lunch in private. She took Pax along because he’s a big fan, and they got along really well. He was obviously thrilled,” the source said.
“They are just friends, but who knows, it could be more in the future. He’s made no secret of the fact he has a huge crush on her.”
Another source told Page Six the meetings were probably business-related since The Weeknd is interested in entering Hollywood.
“They’re clearly not trying to hide [the dinner date],” the person said after the July meeting. “He’s definitely focused on getting to the movie business. He has the new HBO series he’s starring in.”
Both stars have been in high-profile relationships—the Weeknd dated model Bella Hadid on and off from 2015 to 2019. During one of their breaks, he briefly dated actress and singer Selena Gomez.
Jolie has been married three times. Her marriage to Brad Pitt ended in 2019. The couple has six children.
Unsurprisingly, Jolie nor The Weeknd have spoken on the purpose of the dinners.
