Unlikely Matchmakers

Angelina Jolie owes a huge thank-you to her six children! An insider tells Us her blossoming relationship with The Weeknd (aka Abel Tesfaye) first began because of their fascination with the singer. “Angelina’s kids are crazy about him and love his music,” the insider says of The Weeknd, 31, who as Us previously reported has been casually seeing Jolie, 46, since the fall. “They have more in common than people would think,” notes the insider. “And she’s certainly inspired him, which fans will notice with his new album. She’s become his ultimate muse.”

“Angelina’s kids think it’s so cool their mom has a connection with The Weeknd,” says an insider.
