Angelina Jolie was seen having lunch with David Mayer de Rothschild, a British billionaire environmentalist, that caused paparazzi to speculate about the meeting.
On Thursday, March 23, the pair was seen leaving Nobu, a popular restaurant in Malibu, and they seemed to be enjoying each other’s company. Their lunch “date” was said to have lasted about three hours.
As the pair left the hotspot for famous people, the 47-year-old actress was seen smiling. Jolie wore a simple black dress with cuts in the middle, black heels, and black sunglasses.
Mayer de Rothschild, 44, is a billionaire and a member of the world’s wealthiest family. As he and Jolie walked to their cars, he smiled at the paparazzi and laughed with her.
Representatives for Jolie have talked about the meeting and said that it was all business. The couple looked like they were having fun while working, and they both like doing volunteer work and being active.
Mayer de Rothschild is an environmental advocate and a spokesperson for the Hyundai IONIQ, which comes as either an electric or a hybrid car.
Jolie said months ago that she would be leaving her job as a special representative for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. In December of last year, the UNHCR told people about the change. Jolie also confirmed this by saying that she was thankful for the chance to work with field officers and do work that saved lives around the world.
Jolie said that after working for the UNHCR for 20 years, she felt it was time to help refugees in a different way. She said she wanted to talk to the refugees and local groups face-to-face and back their efforts to find solutions.
Jolie stopped working with the UNHCR so she could work more with groups led by people who have been directly affected by war.
Since she broke up with Brad Pitt in 2016, the actress hasn’t been in a public relationship. Even though they haven’t finished their divorce yet because of fights over child custody and property, they are no longer married legally as of 2019.
The New York Times says that David Mayer de Rothschild was married in 2020, but his current marital status is being debated all over the internet.
