An average Monday night in Los Angeles took a dramatic turn on social media after Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter, Zahara Jolie-Pitt was photographed sporting a diamond ring on her left hand. The 20-year-old was seen leaving celebrity haunt Craig’s with actor Elijah Cooper.

Zahara, a college student known for maintaining a low profile, kept her outfit casual with a baseball cap, brown leather purse, and minimal jewellery. However, her diamond ring became the centre of attention, igniting engagement rumours across social media.

Photos shared by Page Six showed her arriving in a car driven by Cooper, who was wearing a black-and-white ensemble and backward baseball cap. The duo’s casual day out soon went viral on the internet, although neither Zahara nor her relatives commented on it.

WHO IS ELIJAH COOPER?

Elijah Cooper is a Los Angeles-based actor and Morehouse College student in Atlanta. On his social media, he’s also the co-founder of a streetwear company named Tints.

His fans were quick to realise that Cooper was following Zahara’s private Instagram account, further generating interest in their relationship.

Despite growing up in the limelight, Zahara has mostly stayed out of tabloid headlines.

However, she’s recently made headlines for publicly aligning with her mother.

In 2023, Zahara notably dropped “Pitt” from her name when she joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, symbolising her growing distance from her father.

She is often spotted alongside Angelina Jolie at functions, such as a recent Mother-Daughter Brunch sponsored by Women in Training Inc. Public appearances with Brad Pitt are still scarce.

ENGAGEMENT STILL OFFICIALLY UNCONFIRMED

Though the diamond ring has fuelled endless rumours, an engagement remains unconfirmed. Fans wait and watch anxiously for confirmation of whether the accessory is merely a fashion statement or something more.
