Angelina Jolie and Paul Mescal Photographed at Coffee Together

The sighting comes amid rumors that Mescal and fiancée Phoebe Bridgers may have ended their engagement. Bridgers was spotted in December with Bo Burnham on several occasions, Us Weekly reported, sparking breakup rumors that neither Bridgers nor Mescal ever commented on. The two have not publicly commented on their current relationship status, either.

Page Six, which reported Jolie and Mescal’s outing, calling it a “coffee date” despite Shiloh being photographed there with them, reached out to both Jolie and Mescal’s publicists, who have not yet responded for the request for comment.

Jolie is publicly single and has been since she filed for divorce from ex-husband Brad Pitt in September 2016.

Jolie spoke to Harper’s Bazaar UK in June 2022 about how she sees her six children, Shiloh, 21-year-old Maddox, 19-year-old Pax, 17-year-old Zahara, and 14-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox as the people who have helped her understand who she is now.

“My children have an impact on every aspect of who I am,” she said. “The moment you become a parent, your life isn’t yours. You don’t know what ‘you’ is; it’s not really about your life anymore, and so you want to represent them, you want to be that model for them; your best self.”

“When I have doubts and I don’t know who I am, I’ll sit with them and feel they know me more than anyone knows me,” she added. “And then I see myself, and I see them as good people, interesting people, all very strong individuals, and I think I can’t be all bad, I can’t have made a mess.”
