Anaheim, California — Zahara Jolie-Pitt and her boyfriend, Elijah Cooper, enjoyed a cozy day at Disneyland on Friday, igniting fresh engagement speculation. The couple, who have been seen together recently, strolled through the theme park hand in hand, sporting coordinated outfits of white T-shirts and jeans.
Zahara, the 20-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, added a playful touch to her outfit with Minnie Mouse ears, while Cooper wore Mickey Mouse ears as they explored the park’s attractions. The couple took time to savor the sights, including a break at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, before taking a ride on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Their public outing comes shortly after rumors swirled about their relationship status. Earlier this month, Zahara was seen sporting a large diamond ring on her finger, leading to speculation about a possible engagement. This time, however, she appeared without the ring, leaving observers to wonder about the current state of their relationship.
The couple first sparked engagement chatter on June 10, when Zahara was photographed wearing the significant ring. Following that sighting, the couple was seen leaving a restaurant in West Hollywood, where both appeared cheerful as they made their way to Cooper’s car. Zahara kept a low profile with a black baseball cap covering part of her face during the sighting.
Zahara is one of six children from the high-profile union of Jolie and Pitt, who share Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Despite their marriage in 2014, the couple’s relationship unraveled two years later and wasn’t fully settled until December 2024.
Reports indicate that Pitt’s relationships with some of his children remain strained, with claims he has made attempts to bridge the gap. Zahara appears to align closely with her mother amid the fallout, having opted to drop her father’s last name when she announced her induction into a university sorority earlier this year.
Jolie has been candid about the emotional toll the divorce has taken on her, expressing a sense of relief following the resolution of various aspects of the settlement. Pitt, on his part, has downplayed the significance of the divorce settlement, suggesting it was not as considerable as it was perceived.
In the backdrop of this publicly scrutinized family dynamic, Zahara’s relationship with Cooper adds a layer of intrigue as she navigates early adulthood, balancing her personal life within the spotlight cast by her famous parents.
