Stitch movie: Does Stitch have a girlfriend after all?

If you're a fan of the Stitch movie, you've probably wondered, "Does Stitch have a girlfriend?" This question frequently arises among those who follow the adventures of this adorable blue alien. In this article, we'll explain where this question comes from, who Angel is, and how the most tender relationship in the Disney universe evolved.

Stitch filme: Afinal, o Stitch tem namorada?

Does Stitch have a girlfriend?

Yes, Stitch has a "girlfriend"—or at least a strong emotional connection—with a character named Angel , also known as Experiment 624. She appears in the animated series Lilo & Stitch: The Series and quickly becomes a beloved figure among fans. The chemistry between them is evident, and their relationship was highlighted in the expanded universe of the Stitch movie.

Who is Angel?

Angel is one of Stitch's many "siblings," also created by the alien scientist Jumba. But unlike Stitch, Angel has a peculiar ability: by singing, she can reverse the genetic code of the other experiments and return them to evil (or good, depending on the version).

Despite initially being a villain, Angel switches sides and develops feelings for Stitch. She's pink, has longer antennae, and a sweet, hypnotic voice. Many see her as the ideal companion for Stitch.

The relationship between the two unfolds in a light, funny and romantic way — something rare in Disney's animated universe, especially among non-human characters.

In which episodes do Angel and Stitch appear together?

Angel first appears in episode 25 of the animated series ( "Angel" ) and returns in several others, including specials such as:

  • Snafu
  • Remmy
  • Leroy & Stitch
  • In these episodes, we see scenes where the two sing together, help each other, and share moments of genuine affection — something unusual among experimental Disney characters.

And in the new Stitch movie (2025)? Will Angel appear?

So far, there's no official confirmation that Angel will appear in the new Stitch movie , which premieres in Portuguese theaters on May 22, 2025. The new version is a retelling of the original 2002 film, centering on the relationship between Lilo and Stitch. Therefore, it's likely that Angel won't be present , at least in this initial release.

However, given the character's popularity, she may be included in future sequels, series, or additional content on Disney+.

Frequently asked questions about Stitch's girlfriend

Is Angel really Stitch's girlfriend?

Officially, she never refers to herself as "girlfriend" in the classic sense. But their emotional connection, romantic gestures, and the episodes in which they appear together make it clear that they are more than friends.

Is Angel good or bad?

She starts out as a villain but quickly switches sides. Throughout the series, she's shown as a good-hearted person, loyal to Stitch and her new "family."

Are there any other romantic interests for Stitch?

No. Angel is the only character who maintains a lasting emotional relationship with him.

Why is this relationship so special?

Stitch was created to be destructive. He knew no love, empathy, or emotional connection. The arrival of Lilo, and later Angel, changed everything.

The relationship with Angel is important because it shows that Stitch has learned not only to love but also to trust—even in a universe of creatures genetically engineered for chaos. This further humanizes the character and creates a layer of depth that goes far beyond the typical animated film.
