On Last Thursday, March 23, Angelina Jolie was seen leaving Malibu's well-known celebrity hangout, Nobu, in the company of billionaire David Mayer de Rothschild. According to reports, the pair enjoyed a three-hour lunch together, leading many to wonder if the outing was a business meeting or a romantic date.
Page Six obtained photos showing Jolie and Rothschild in good spirits as they left the restaurant, chatting and laughing together. Jolie looked effortlessly elegant in a stylish black dress, featuring subtle cutouts on the sides, while wearing black heels and sunglasses. Meanwhile, Rothschild, the 44-year-old entrepreneur, opted for a smart casual look in navy blue slacks, a grey shirt, and black loafers, complemented by playful striped socks.
Representatives for Jolie have yet to comment on the nature of the outing. However, Page Six speculated that the meeting was work-related, considering both individuals' long-standing commitment to activism and environmental issues. Rothschild is an ardent environmentalist and has served as an ambassador for Hyundai's IONIQ, the first vehicle built explicitly as a hybrid or electric-powered car. His Instagram bio reflects his dedication to raising awareness about global warming.
Conversely, Jolie is renowned for her work with refugees over the past 20 years, serving as a special envoy to the United Nations. Although she stepped down from the role in December 2022, she pledged in a statement to "continue to do everything in my power in the years to come to support refugees and other displaced people."
It is worth noting that The New York Times reported Rothschild's marriage to Karina Deyko in 2020.
Since her split from Brad Pitt in 2016, Jolie has not entered into any serious relationships. Although the former couple was declared legally single in 2019, they are still finalizing the details of their divorce, which has been marred by a contentious custody battle and unresolved asset disputes. They share six children: Maddox, 21; Pax, 19; Zahara, 18; Shiloh, 16; and 14-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
In 2021, there were rumors that Jolie was dating The Weeknd after they were seen together on several dinner dates. However, neither party confirmed the romance, and they have not been seen together recently. Furthermore, Jolie was linked to Paul Mescal after they were spotted enjoying a coffee date in January.
