Angelina Jolie's daughter Zahara steps out with boyfriend Elijah Cooper — Disneyland date goes viral amid engagement rumours
Angelina Jolie's daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt was recently seen enjoying a sunny day at Disneyland with her boyfriend, actor Elijah Cooper—just days after engagement rumours set the internet on fire following a sparkly ring sighting. The 20-year-old, whom Jolie shares with ex Brad Pitt, appeared fully in the moment with her beau, looking relaxed, happy, and completely unbothered by the cameras. Zahara Jolie-Pitt's Disney outing with her beau On June 20, the 20‑year‑old Spelman College student and Cooper, a Morehouse College attendee and actor, were photographed strolling hand‑in‑hand around Anaheim's Disneyland. They embraced the park spirit, donning matching Minnie and Mickey ears while exploring attractions like Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Zahara Jolie-Pitt and boyfriend seen at Disneyland as engagement rumors swirl — Buzz Nova (@BuzzNova163093) June 21, 2025 How did Zahara's engagement rumours begin? Engagement buzz first took off earlier this month when Zahara was photographed wearing a sparkling diamond ring on that finger during a dinner date with Elijah at the celeb-favourite Craig's in West Hollywood. The ring's placement on her left hand immediately raised eyebrows, with fans and tabloids speculating that the 20-year-old might be quietly engaged. However, during her recent Disneyland outing with Elijah, the ring was noticeably absent. Whether it was a simple accessory switch or a sign that there's nothing romantic to read into remains unclear, but the mystery has only fuelled more online chatter. Some believe the couple could be keeping things private, while others think the ring might've been just another fashion statement. Zahara drops 'Pitt' from her last name Zahara, who recently made headlines for dropping 'Pitt' from her last name, has been carving out her own identity both socially and academically. Now going by Zahara Jolie, she's an active member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College, where she's become known not just as the daughter of Hollywood royalty, but as a thoughtful student leader in her own right. Photo Credit: X Her bond with her mother, Angelina Jolie, remains strong and rooted in shared values. The two have been spotted together at various philanthropic events, and Zahara has taken on a more public-facing role in activism—most notably as a keynote speaker at a Mother-Daughter Brunch hosted by Alpha Kappa Alpha. She's also been involved in humanitarian causes, including initiatives focused on climate issues and wildfire recovery, areas Angelina has long championed. So, are the engagement rumours true? While neither Zahara nor Elijah has said anything about being engaged, the combination of that diamond ring, cosy dinner dates, and their Disneyland day out has definitely set off speculation. Still, official or not, the two seem genuinely smitten, enjoying each other's company and making the most of a carefree summer together.

Is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Daughter, Zahara, Engaged? Here's What We Know
On June 9, 2025, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter, Zahara, was spotted wearing a diamond on her left ring finger, sparking engagement rumors. The college student appeared alongside Elijah Cooper in West Hollywood, California. The two have yet to confirm a romantic Pitt and Angelina Jolie may have called it quits in 2016, but their daughter, Zahara, is now sparking her own engagement rumors. On June 9, 2025, the college student was spotted wearing a diamond on her left ring finger, according to photos published by Page Six. Zahara donned the sparkler while exiting Craig's, a restaurant in West Hollywood, California, alongside Elijah Cooper. While it's unclear whether the two are in a romantic relationship, they attend two schools in close proximity to each other in Atlanta, Georgia: Zahara is enrolled at Spelman College while Elijah attends Morehouse College. In addition to the diamond ring, Zahara donned a black tank top, white cardigan, black slacks, and white sandals for the outing. She accessorized her look with an oversized brown bag, a simple necklace, and an Atlanta Braves baseball cap. Elijah appeared to coordinate with his dinner partner, wearing a backward white hat and a green-hued retro-inspired T-shirt with white detailing. As a student at Spelman, Zahara has been active in a number of organizations, including the college's chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha. In March of this year, she was appointed to be the keynote speaker at the Women in Training Inc.'s Mother-Daughter Brunch in Alabama, and Angelina made sure to show her support for her daughter by attending the gathering. During her speech, the student spoke of the need to end period poverty. Just a few months earlier, in January, Zahara appeared alongside her mother—and her other siblings—in Los Angeles in an effort to give back to the families affected by the wildfires in the city. She also attended the Golden Globes and the Palm Springs International Film Awards alongside her mother that same month. For the two red-carpet moments, the student donned a white-hued gown, a possible hint at her status as a soon-to-be bride. Related: 15 Tasks Every Couple Should Always Do After Getting Engaged While little is known about Zahara's personal life, in 2023, she made headlines for dropping her father's last name during her sorority ceremony. The move came just months after her sister, Shiloh, filed legal paperwork to do the same. "My name is Zahara Marley Jolie," the student said in a clip posted by Essence. "Coming all the way from the Golden State in the city that is full of angels, Los Angeles, California…I am this line's number seven." Another one of the duo's siblings, Vivienne, also appeared to drop her father's last name. When working as a production assistant on The Outsiders, a Broadway play produced by her mother, she was credited in the playbill as "Vivienne Jolie," according to Us Weekly.

A year after dropping Brad Pitt's name, Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh debuts her new name
There is still more in the tank regarding the drama around the divorce of actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, as their daughter Shiloh Jolie has just debuted her new name, Shi Jolie. The couple cut ties legally last year in December, even though they had announced separation back in 2016. The couple battled it out for 8 years, which according to a recent comment by Brad Pitt, 'wasn't that big of a deal.' Both of the actors commanded a large troop of lawyers all armed with allegations of their own and a few months before the divorce got finalised, their daughter Shiloh had decided to drop her father's name and be known as just Shiloh Jolie. At an event in Los Angeles, the 19-year-old made an appearance at a dinner hosted to celebrate fashion designer Isabel Marant's new collection. Music artist Luella performed at the event with two other dancers, and the press release for the event had the choreographer's name written as Shi Jolie. Born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie Pitt, she appealed to change her name back in May 2024, when she decided to drop father Brad's name. Pitt and Jolie have 5 other kids: Maddox (23), Zahara (20), Pax (21), Knox (16), and Vivienne (16). ALSO READ: Ben Affleck is 'crushing' on another of Brad Pitt's famous exes, calls her 'very hot,' 20 years after they dated the same woman Other kids of the couple have also taken steps to distance themselves from their father's name, as Zahara and Vivienne have introduced themselves with just their mother's name on several occasions. Vivienne was part of a musical called The Outsiders, and the playbill had her name written as Vivienne Jolie. Zahara introduced herself only using her mother's name when she joined Spelman College last year. Though Brad has made no comment on Shiloh's latest stage name, he has talked about the previous changes to PEOPLE magazine. He said that he is 'aware of the change' and that the reminder that he has lost his children is not very nice and that he misses them. Back in 2016, the original appeal for the divorce came after the infamous 'plane' incident when Pitt was accused by an anonymous bystander of abusing his children. While the story was never confirmed from either side, sources close to the couple reported that the incident was a verbal altercation between Jolie and Pitt, which was not handled properly.
