ACTRESS Angelina Jolie has been on a string of secret dates in London as her romance with British hip-hop star Akala heats up.
The Oscar-winner, 49, sneaked the 40-year-old rapper into her hotel suite during her trip to the capital last week.
They spent two nights holed up there before having dinner at members’ club Soho House following the premiere of her film, Maria.
A source said: “Angelina and Akala have been secretly spending nights together at her London hotel The Corinthia.
“Angelina arrived at the hotel via the loading bay at around 8pm on Wednesday before being joined by Akala at around 10pm.
“The pair spent Wednesday and Thursday night together inside the hotel and did not leave.
“Akala was sneaked out of the hotel via one of Angelina’s cars on Friday — a couple of hours before the BFI film premiere for her new movie.
“They are using separate cars and secret entrances to keep their relationship under wraps, but it’s the real deal.”
Angelina has been in London to promote the film, about opera singer Maria Callas.
Both she and Akala attended Friday’s premiere at the Southbank Centre, although they arrived separately.
He was seen hugging Angelina’s son Pax, 20, at the US premiere of Maria in New York last month.
Angelina’s son Maddox, 23, and daughter Zahara, 19, were also at the event.
She split from film star Brad Pitt, 60, in 2019, saying it was for the “wellbeing of her family”.
