Is there a new Hollywood ‘IT’ couple in the making?
Possibly, because Angelina Jolie and The Weeknd were spotted out together on Wednesday, June 30.
The actress and singer caught by paparazzi leaving one of Hollywood’s hottest spots, Giorgio Baldi, in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening.
PageSix reports Abel and Angelina left separately; however, they spent hours together inside the Italian restaurant.
It’s very possible something romantic is going on between the two. Both are currently single.
There is also the possibility of Abel picking Angelina’s brain about acting and directing. The singer is looking to expand his career in tinsel town.
Angie On The Move!
A source close to Abel told PageSix, “They’re clearly not trying to hide the dinner date. He’s definitely focused on getting to the movie business. He has the new HBO series he’s starring in.”
It was recently announced that The Weeknd will make his acting debut in HBO’s “The Idol.”
Not only is he acting in it, he also serves as a co-writer and executive producer on the show.
Abel is working alongside “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson and Reza Fahim.
According to Deadline, “The Idol” follows a female pop singer who starts a romance with an enigmatic L.A. club owner who is the leader of a secret cult.

The Weeknd had a pretty cinematic 2020 if you will. His “Blinding Lights” era saw him transform from The Weeknd into a bandaged, bloodied and bruised mess, with the payoff being a complete cosmetic surgery makeover.
He stunned fans with the radical transformation, but don’t worry it was all prosthetics.
It’s obvious the guy can stay in character for a LOOOONG time.
In Character
Angelina has had her fair share of drama going on over the course of the year as well.
She’s been in a years-long custody battle with Brad Pitt over their five underage children. In March it was reported Brad was granted joint-custody of their children after nearly five years of court battles.
However, the custody battle may not be over just yet. The judge never heard from any of the children themselves, which is something the mother of 6 is calling out in her own court filing.
Simpler Times
Angelina and Brad were married in 2014, Angelina filed for divorce in 2016 and the divorce was finalized in 2019.
Angelina sought primary custody of their children after an altercation between Brad and their oldest son Maddox went down on a private plane.
The father was accused of being abusive toward Maddox, who was 15 at the time of the incident.
Brad was cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services for the incident.
