Hollywood is buzzing again—and this time, it’s Angelina Jolie who’s stirring up whispers. According to insiders, the Oscar-winning actress has been getting close to her French co-star Louis Garrel while working on their new drama, Couture. The pair reportedly hit it off on set, sparking curiosity across Tinseltown about whether Jolie may finally be opening her heart again after years of keeping her love life tightly under wraps.
A source told the National Enquirer that Jolie and Garrel have been quietly keeping in touch since filming wrapped. Though neither star has confirmed the rumors, the insider claims there’s an undeniable spark between them. Garrel—known for his charm, intensity, and a somewhat “complicated” personality—has reportedly separated from his wife, model and actress Laetitia Casta, after ten years of marriage. French gossip circles are already calling him one of Paris’s most eligible bachelors.
People close to Jolie, however, are said to be a little cautious. While they acknowledge her chemistry with Garrel, some are concerned he might not be in the right place for a serious relationship. Jolie herself has allegedly told friends she isn’t looking for anything long-term, focusing instead on her demanding career and her six children with ex-husband Brad Pitt. Still, insiders say it’s been a long time since she’s connected with someone on this level—and she might not be immune to a little romantic spark.
Jolie, now 50, has kept her private life low-key since her split from Pitt in 2016. She shares six children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne—and often says motherhood remains her top priority. Yet, friends hint that working alongside Garrel during Couture has brought out a lighter, more playful side of the actress that hasn’t been seen in years.
Directed by Alice Winocour, Couture is set during Paris Fashion Week and follows an American filmmaker navigating chaos in her personal and professional life. The collaboration marks Jolie’s return to European cinema—and perhaps a new chapter in her real-life story as well.
While neither Jolie nor Garrel has spoken publicly about their rumored closeness, Hollywood insiders aren’t ignoring the signs. One source even claimed that Jolie “lights up” whenever she hears from Garrel, adding fuel to the already fiery speculation. Whether it’s a serious romance or just a creative spark, the pairing of one of Hollywood’s most mysterious women with one of France’s most magnetic actors is keeping fans glued to the gossip feeds.
As always, no confirmations have been made—but in the world of A-list intrigue, silence only makes the story burn hotter.
