LONDON, ENGLAND: Angelina Jolie was captured grabbing a coffe with newly-single Paul Mescal on Thursday, December 29, 2022, after she watched him perform in ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ at the Almeida Theatre.
The duo was pictured in the theater's coffee shop, where they were joined by Jolie's 16-year-old daughter Shiloh, whom she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt.

Mescal currently plays Stanley in the stage adaptation of the Tennessee Williams' masterpiece, directed by Rebecca Frecknall.
Apart from the play, he has been the subject of gossip after he reportedly broke up with his fiancée, Indie singer Phoebe Bridgers. Rumors of the two being a couple started after sources reportedly said that they spent a weekend together in August 2020.
"Paul invited pals and they played wild drinking games. They're both smitten. His membership on the celeb dating site Raya is a smokescreen to cover up that they're secretly an item," sources said, as per the Daily Mail.
In December 2021, the couple made it official on Instagram, with a very loved-up image of the two of them, and made their first red carpet appearance at LACMA Art+Film Gala. They even sparked engagement rumors earlier in 2022, before reportedly calling it quits. Following their split, she had reportedly been seen "flirting" with Bo Burnham amid growing speculation that they were dating. "It felt flirtatious like he was trying to impress her," a reporter at Jezebel, who attended the show, revealed.
Meanwhile, Jolie definitely has her hands full as a mother these days, as she is often seen out and about with her children. While this trip to London seems to be a bonding experience with Shiloh, she also spent quality time with her son, Knox, 14, when they stepped out to go shopping ahead of Christmas in 2022.
