Hollywood star kids often make headlines, and this time it’s Zahara Marley Jolie, the eldest daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The 20-year-old was recently spotted leaving a Hollywood restaurant wearing what looked like a sparkling diamond ring, setting off engagement rumours across the internet.
On Monday night, Page Six shared photos of Zahara outside Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood. She was seen getting into a car with a young man named Eliza Cooper, believed to be a Los Angeles-based model, actor, and entrepreneur. The two were seen smiling at each other, and their outfits looked well-coordinated, which added fuel to the speculation.
Diamond Ring Gets Noticed, Fans Wonder If It’s an Engagement
Zahara’s diamond ring caught everyone’s attention in the pictures. While neither Zahara nor her companion confirmed anything, the gesture has sparked social media buzz. The two seemed to enjoy a light-hearted moment, with Zahara wearing a cap pulled low to cover part of her face, possibly to avoid the camera.
People online are guessing that this could be a soft reveal of her engagement, especially as the ring looks like something more than just a fashion statement.
Zahara’s Personal Journey and Strong Bond with Angelina
Zahara is currently a student at Spelman College in Atlanta, but she often joins Angelina Jolie in red carpet appearances and social work activities. Despite being in college, she makes time to stay close to her family and support her mother’s humanitarian work.
In 2005, Angelina adopted Zahara from Ethiopia when she was just seven months old. Brad Pitt had just started dating Jolie at that time. Zahara has grown up in the public eye but has always kept a low profile.
Dropping the Pitt Surname in 2023: A Statement Move
Zahara made headlines last year when she dropped Brad Pitt’s surname and introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie during a public event. This step followed years of personal family drama between Jolie and Pitt.
The couple had a long relationship before marrying in 2014. They separated in 2016 after Jolie filed for divorce. Their legal battle over child custody and property became one of the most discussed cases in Hollywood.
Other Siblings Also Moving Away from the Pitt Name
Zahara isn’t the only child taking such steps. Her siblings, Shiloh and Vivienne, have also chosen to remove “Pitt” from their names recently. All these changes came after Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie announced that they had finally reached a divorce settlement on December 30, 2024, ending years of legal struggle.
How It All Started: Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Angelina and Brad met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004. Brad was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, but soon after meeting Jolie, he separated from Aniston. Jolie and Pitt later became parents to six children, both biological and adopted, before their relationship ended publicly.
