Angelina Jolie refused to talk about the romance rumors between her and The Weeknd during an uncomfortable interview.
The 46-year-old actress sat down for an interview on E!’s Daily Pop with her Eternals co-star Salma Hayek on Monday. The host Justin Sylvester decided to go for it and bring up The Weeknd right to Angelina's face.
Instead of giving a straight answer and either confirming or denying the romance rumors between the two, Jolie refused to comment on the matter at all.
Sylvester asked Jolie if her six children were more excited for her upcoming role in Marvel’s Eternals or her relationship with The Weeknd.
“They're very excited about this film... If that's what you're asking,” she answered, while looking over at Salma. “They're very excited about this film.”
Of course, this all comes after numerous recent outings between Jolie and The Weeknd that sparked rumors about a possible romance between the two.
The talk started after the two were seen having a private dinner together at a famed Italian restaurant in Santa Monica in September. The duo has visited the spot two additional times in the following months.
“Both Angie and Abel are telling people that they are just friends, but those who know them think something romantic is going on,” a friend reportedly said last month, referencing The Weeknd by his real name – Abel Makkonen Tesfaye. “She's definitely warming toward Abel. He's been pouring on the charm and going out of his way to impress her.”
This comes only a couple weeks after RadarOnline.com reported how Jolie was seen heading home with her first ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller after a dinner date in Beverly Hills – something that came as a surprise to everybody following the potential Jolie/The Weeknd romance.
The former husband and wife were photographed leaving dinner, and then Jolie was seen sitting in the passenger seat of Miller’s whip.
It appears Jolie is finally moving on from her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
