The Weeknd Has Been 'Obsessed' With Angelina Jolie 'For Years', Says Source
From business to pleasure!
After connecting over work projects, a friend spills The Weeknd is fawning all over actress Angelina Jolie.
The “Starboy” singer — real name Abel Tesfaye — “has been obsessed with Angie for years,” dishes the pal. “He first hooked up with her this summer saying he needed help for a charity project, but his intention all along was to have a serious relationship.”
For her part, the actress, 46 — who enjoyed dinner with The Weeknd, 31, at L.A. hotspot Giorgio Baldi on September 25 — “has been allowing him to wine and dine her because she enjoys the attention,” the pal adds.
“Angie is quite content to bask in the spotlight and get tongues wagging,” the insider continues. But the crooner, who counts Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez among A-lister exes, “has really fallen hard for Angie and thinks he has a real chance with her.”
“His inner circle is warning him that she’s going to break his heart, but Abel’s not listening,” the source notes.
The “Blinding Lights” singer and the Maleficent actress initially sparked dating rumors in June after the pair exited Giorgio Baldi’s separately, despite restaurant spies claiming they spent hours together inside.
The duo were also snapped at Mustafa the Poet’s private concert weeks later, OK! reported. Since her first dinner outing with The Weeknd, insiders spilled the mother-of-six has been “hitting the dating scene with a vengeance.”
As her messy custody battle with estranged ex Brad Pitt continues to play out in court, a source noted Jolie has been more carefree than normal, including hanging with ex-hubby Johnny Miller at his NYC home this summer.
The former flames met on the set of Hackers in 1995 and married a year later, only to divorce in 1999.
