He's rumored to be dating Angelina Jolie.

"oh my love" - FKA twigs
FKA twigs released Caprisongs on January 14. In "oh my love," one of the songs off the 17-track mixtape, the 33-year-old sings about a person she's into that's unsure of what they want. When you're in your feels about somebody not reciprocating the same energy you're giving, play this on repeat.
"Angels" - Thomas Rhett
