Angelina Jolie Is Finally Asked About Rumored Relationship with The Weeknd!

Angelina Jolie was asked about her “friendship” with The Weeknd — and you have to hear her response!
This week in an interview with E!’s “Daily Pop,” the actress sat alongside “Eternals” co-star Salma Hayek to promote their new Marvel film.
During the sit-down, interviewer Justin Sylvester brought up The Weeknd — who, in recent months, has been photographed with Jolie going on multiple dinner dates.
When Sylvester asked Jolie if her children are more excited about her new flick or her friendship with the musician, Jolie dodged the question, answering, “They’re very excited about this film, if that’s what you’re asking.”
“They’re very excited about this film,” she repeated.
In late July, Jolie and The Weeknd were photographed leaving restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.
While she wore a trench coat and a black face mask, he donned a black T-shirt with blue jeans and a matching jean jacket.
According to People, the two have known each other for some time and share a connection to Ethiopia. Back in April, he donated $1 million to relief efforts in the country, which saw unrest between the government in Addis Ababa and the Tigray region. In 2005, Jolie adopted her daughter Zahara, now 16, from Ethiopia and has since launched The Zahara Program, which helps girls in the East African country.
Months later in September, the two were spotted leaving the same restaurant after they reported dined for two-and-a-half hours. People magazine reports that they took a car to his Bel-Air home.
Despite speculation that the two are romantically linked, a source told Page Six in September that Jolie and The Weeknd were simply meeting up to talk business.
“They’re clearly not trying to hide [the dinner date]. He’s definitely focused on getting [into] the movie business. He has the new HBO series he’s starring in,” the source said, referencing The Weeknd’s new project “The Idol” — reportedly about a female pop singer who starts a romance with an enigmatic L.A. club owner, also the leader of a secret cult.
