Back in the day, Angelina Jolie’s costars tended to fall in love with her. That’s how she got into this mess with Brad Pitt in the first place – all they did was make a movie together and a few months later, his marriage was over and he was all-in with Angelina. I still remember the stories about how she had all of the men on Alexander in a complete tizzy. On Maleficent, Sam Riley described being in complete awe of her, to the point where he felt compelled to bow to her. Well, Angelina is currently promoting Couture, a French film. She worked with French actor Louis Garrel, a 42 year-old Parisian. Well, there are rumors about a possible romance between Jolie and Garrel. TMZ is here to put a stop to those rumors.
Angelina Jolie and Louis Garrel are not taking their onscreen romance into real life … despite persistent rumors to the contrary. Sources close to Angelina tell TMZ … Angelina and her “Couture” costar are NOT dating.
It’s true that Angelina and Louis have been out to dinner … but our sources say they’ve only broken bread as friends, and that’s where their relationship stands.
We’re told Angelina and Louis are good friends who have friends in common … but she remains single and she’s only focused on her kids and her work.
Angelina’s ex-husband, Brad Pitt, is dating … he’s got a smoking hot girlfriend in Ines de Ramon … but Angelina remains single as a dollar bill.
Given the mention of Brad Pitt in TMZ’s story, I think it’s worth reminding everyone that Brad is still using lawsuits and the court system to abuse Angelina. He keeps tabs on her financially, he keeps tabs on her movements and he keeps tabs on her professionally. Meaning, if Angelina dated someone, Brad and his team would be the first ones to rush to TMZ and blab about it and paint her as a wanton woman/bad mother who has sex. That, more than anything, is why Angelina keeps a tight lid on her romantic life. That being said, Angelina has said in interviews that her focus in recent years has been on her kids, and I believe it. I don’t think she’s off somewhere, banging random French guys. She deserves that life though! I wish she was getting some. Louis is nice-looking. Oh, here’s some tea: Garrel was married to Laetitia Casta (remember her??) for years but they separated last year. Damn, Angelina did it again, you guys!!!

I love that dress she’s wearing. Damn she’s gorgeous.
This is how sheer is done without baring all your bits.
Yes!
Im sorry, but since when Angelina speaks with TMZ, Brad’s PR mouthpiece, that couldnt finish this piece without insulting her?
Which is the clue that it’s not from AJ but BP.
Love her – I can’t wait to see Couture!!!
I’m laughing at the mention of Brad’s smoking hot girlfriend. Lordy, BP and TMZ have a close relationship. Pretty sure AJ might’ve gone to People magazine in response to this bc there’s a v recent article saying that no she has not dated anyone since the divorce and it’s all about the kids. I hope that’s her clocking BP and TMZ.
Exactly! The whole wording is really demeaning
I honestly have no idea if something is going on between those two, but I wouldn’t put it past Brad and his PR team to put that out (even though it wasn’t on anyone’s radar) so she needs to put out some additional comments abut it.
TMZ is just ridiculous. I won’t comment on another woman’s hotness. To each his own. But they make it sound like she’s at home waiting for a text that never comes. Lol she could have anyone she wants including the dudes half her age. She’s obviously single cause she wants it that way.
There’s simply no way the TMZ article is from her lol. Which is interesting because the people one (which I do think is her) completely ignores these rumors with Louis. It shows it doesn’t matter what their stance is because in the end shes not fulfilled from a relationship. I am sure if they are enjoying each other’s company, she wants it private as well. I think that part about her being a single mother and watching the kids thrive was definitely a jab at the recent “brad pal” article.
Louis Garel is currently dating Anja Rubik. Before Laeticia Casta he was with Valeria Bruni Tedeschi (Carla Bruni’s sister)
Garrel and Rubik broke up last October.
Didn’t they just start dating around then? He only got divorced like half a year ago.
Rubik & Garrel were publicly linked in June 2025.
Split in October.
Oooh I didn’t know. In France it was reported in October that they were dating! They must have broken up soon after then,
Brad the photo op dad, until the children didn’t want to be near him.
People talk about parental alienation, but all six children?
Brad has more money than Angelina and he can’t even buy his children.
Angie is living her life on her terms, she has raised 6 amazing children. If she wants some nookie, she’s getting it. If she wants a relationship she will find one and it won’t be broadcast by an outlet that is clearly team BP a violent drunk who terrorized his wife and children locked in a plane.
Louis Garrel is 6ft of gorgeousness!!😎😎😎
Unlike some HW actors with faux-intellect, Garrel is also multi-lingual (French, Italian) and erudite.
Get it Angie!🍾🍾
I’m probably in the minority, but he seems suspicious to me. I saw a few videos from the premiere of their film, and he was acting really strange around her. It gave me chills.
His behavior around her has definitely been borderline creepy and stalkerish. He is an open Roman Polanski and Woody Allen supporter and has worked with both. Not sure why Angelina would even want to be friends with someone like that.
I don’t even want to think about what pitt might do if Angelina ever officially gets involved with someone. He’s deeply disturbed and obsessed with her. All this talk about Angelina’s intimate life, or rather lack thereof, and how SUPPOSEDLY hot his girlfriend is only confirms this. Sick pos and abuser.
The bit about the hit girlfriend was the biggest give away this article was from Brad’s people and probably by the girlfriend too as she is singed to his PR as well. So it gives her image a boost to ge compared to the old hasbeen Angelina Jolie vs the young 30 years younger hot girlfriend makes Pitt look like a prize catch
Omg stop with the Saint Angelina narrative. She was complicit is breaking up a marriage and she is not blameless in this divorce either. You dont turn your kids against the other parent. Toxic shit all around.
Do you also blame her for Brad’s alcoholism and aggression issues? And for the fact that he terrorized his family on board the plane for several hours during the flight?
That’s hilarious. Brad and his continous abusive actions turned his kids away. Not Angelina
I guess you also believe Angelina Jolie deserved to be physically and verbally abused by Brad Pitt for years , just as her children were by Brad Pitt too. So I guess your response would be that is Angelina’s karma
A new concept, “women blaming other women” for tax men. No one is calling her Saint Angelina, and she certainly is not complicit in his abusive alcoholism and choking a child. It’s women like you who are ridiculous. I guess this is how MAGA women think. Sad!
Whatever her choices in her private life may be, I hope she’s happy.
Meanwhile, it looks to me like she’s warming up her shade of blonde? I’ve always preferred her as a brunette, but this honey blonde seems much more flattering to her skin tone than the ashy blonde she went with for a long time.
Angelina jolie doesn’t speak to TMZ who degrade her & her children, and are Brad Pitt’s mouthpieces, as are People Magazine. That degrading jibe aimed at Angelina was repulsive & attacking her self worth, by upgrading Pitt’s Temu girlfriend, that alone indicated that article was from Pitt’s PR, just as their previous article attacking Maddox and again degrading Angelina with parental alienation slurs. Brad sure is hitting out at Angelina because if his latest court LOSS against Angelina
Its no wonder why Brad Pitt’s children don’t communicate with him especially as they see how he’s still doing piat separation abuse towards Angelina in courts and using media outlets to humiliate her with slurs of parental alienation. Also its obvious Pitt by choice has ghosted his children for last 8-9 years , just like he sold house and moved away from them, & their memories, yet still plays victim in media and people fall for it
I want to know what she is doing to look so young. She looks so nice. And as for the rumors, I was believing what she said until I looked at all the pictures, and I do believe they have a romance going on. You can’t disguise some things. Like how you look at someone. Oh yes, I see that. She’s just gorgeous.
Yeah i don’t really believe this denial after seeing videos of them lol. They look very smitten over each other. Sounds like they just want to keep it private
So important for TMZ to remind us that Brad has a “smoking hot girlfriend” 😂 They might as well continue “and they are totally happy and have sex all the time, because he’s still very vital and don’t you dare call him a desperate middle aged man.”.
