Despite widespread speculation and social media chatter, Angelina Jolie is not dating her Couture costar Louis Garrel, according to sources close to the actress. This clarification comes amid ongoing rumours linking the two stars romantically, driven largely by their status as costars in the high-profile drama Couture and several public appearances they’ve made while promoting the film.
What’s Been Rumoured
In recent weeks, some entertainment outlets and gossip pages have suggested that Jolie and Garrel may be more than just colleagues, citing moments of perceived closeness or shared dinners during promotional events. These rumours stem from a combination of anonymous sources, social media speculation, and tabloid coverage — none of which have been confirmed by either actor.
However, these claims remain unverified. In fact, the only verifiable reports about their relationship status indicate that there is no romantic relationship between them at this time.
TMZ reported on the dating rumour, confirming that Angelina Jolie and Louis Garrel are not romantically involved despite the ongoing rumours. The report cites sources close to Angelina who describe their dynamic as friendly but strictly professional.
According to TMZ, while Hollywood insiders recognise that the two have spent time together socially, they are “just friends” and not pursuing a romantic relationship. Jolie is said to be focused primarily on her children and her work rather than any new romantic entanglements.
Angelina’s Current Priorities
Angelina Jolie has long maintained a relatively private personal life after her high-profile marriage and eventual separation from actor Brad Pitt. Their divorce was finalised in 2024 after years of legal proceedings, and since then, Jolie has appeared to focus on her children, her filmmaking projects, and her humanitarian efforts.
Sources close to Jolie say she is not actively seeking a romantic relationship at this time and remains focused on her personal and professional priorities. There is no public confirmation from Jolie or Garrel suggesting that they are dating.
Who Is Louis Garrel?
Louis Garrel is a French actor who stars alongside Angelina Jolie in the film Couture, a drama directed by Alice Winocour that premiered at festivals in late 2025 and had its French theatrical release in early 2026. The film — unrelated to the actors’ personal lives — features Garrel in a supporting role alongside Jolie, who plays an American filmmaker at Paris Fashion Week.
While Garrel’s profile in European cinema has grown over the years, there is no evidence that his on-screen partnership with Jolie has developed into an off-screen romantic relationship.
Why Rumours Persist
Celebrity relationship rumours are not new, especially for someone as globally recognisable as Angelina Jolie. From fan speculation to tabloid headlines, stars of Jolie’s stature often attract attention related to their personal lives — even when nothing substantive supports the claims.
The rumours about a possible romance with Garrel appear to fall into this category: repeated sharing of unverified gossip, anonymous sources and public curiosity rather than confirmed facts.
Silence From Both Sides
Neither Angelina Jolie nor Louis Garrel has addressed the rumours publicly. Neither actor’s representatives have confirmed or denied any relationship, but the only verified reporting to emerge — including from TMZ — states clearly that the pair are not a couple.
In an era where celebrity gossip can spread fast, it is important to distinguish between confirmed information from trusted sources and speculation. Based on available reporting, Jolie remains single, and there is no evidence she is dating Louis Garrel.
