THE Weeknd name-dropped his "crush" Angelina Jolie in 2016 song Party Monster five years before their dinner date.
The Sun revealed how the in Los Angeles yesterday with the singer.
But insiders have told us that had his eye on for a few years now - and even mentioned her in the song Party Monster.
The source told us: "He's had a crush on her for years - who hasn't?"
In the first verse, he says: "Ooh, she mine, ooh girl, bump and grind / Ooh, she mine, ooh girl, bump a line / Angelina, lips like Angelina / Like Selena, a** shaped like Selena"
This date comes amid her nasty custody battle between Angelina and her ex-husband Brad Pitt over their six children.
Angelina, 46, was spotted enjoying a charming date at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles with The Weeknd, also known as Abel Tesfaye, 31.
The pair reportedly spent hours at the restaurant, before leaving separately to avoid raising suspicion.
The Maleficent star wore a simple black dress, tan trench coat, nude pumps, and a black mask as she left the building.
Abel went for a more casual look with a black tee-shirt, matching denim pants and jacket, black combat boots and a silver chain.
Their encounter comes as a bit of a shock after the songwriter previously mentioned in his 2016 hit single Starboy.
“Let a n**ga Brad Pitt, legend of the fall took the year like a bandit,” the Weeknd sang, referencing his über musical success in the Fall of 2015.
The Canadian singer has been linked to his fair share of famous ladies, including model , fellow singers , and Rosalía.
The Blinding Lights star dated Bella, 24, on and off from 2015 to 2019, with their first breakup happening in November of 2016.
