Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter Zahara ditches diamond ring on Disneyland date as family tensions rise

Brad Pitt 's daughter Zahara ditched the diamond ring on her finger during a Disneyland date with her boyfriend amid engagement rumors.
The daughter of the Fight Club star and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie fueled rumors earlier this month but left her ring finger bare this time while out with her beau.
Zahara, 20, was seen holding hands with her boyfriend Elijah Cooper as they enjoyed the weekend in Anaheim, California on Friday.
The pair wore matching outfits for their date and were also seen sporting matching Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse ears.
For their day at the amusement park, the couple coordinated in white T-shirts and light wash jeans.
The pair appeared attached at the hip as they enjoyed a loved-up outing to kick off the weekend.
The aspiring actress has been estranged from her famous father and had a strained relationship with him ever since her parents split up nearly a decade ago.
Zahara is currently a college student at Spelman College in Atlanta and dropped her father's surname during her sorority induction ceremony as she now goes by Zahara Marley Jolie.
A little over a week ago, she was seen in high spirits after a romantic dinner date and sparked engagement rumors when she was seen with a massive diamond ring on that finger.
She and her boyfriend kept a low profile as they headed home after grabbing a bite together at Craig's in Los Angeles.
On the same day, her estranged dad was in New York City and nearly risked an awkward run-in with Jolie in Manhattan amid his loved-up PR tour with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon.
Cooper is an actor studying at Morehouse College in Atlanta and lives in Los Angeles, according to his Instagram bio.
On the same day as their Disney date, he also took to social media to share a series of snaps of him and his girlfriend posing in fun group photos alongside his family.
Zahara is one of Jolie and Pitt's six children.
The exes, who fell in love after starring in Mr. and Mrs. Smith together in 2005, also share Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Shiloh, 19, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
Jolie and Pitt were together for about a decade before they tied the knot in 2014 but filed for divorce two years later in 2016.
Jolie cited irreconcilable differences and later accused Pitt of abusing both her as well as their children, which he has denied.
Their lengthy, contentious divorce battle was finalized eight years later in late 2024 and since then, many of their kids have dropped Pitt's surname amid their ongoing estrangement.
Shiloh also now goes by Shiloh Nouvel Jolie as she filed paperwork to legally remove her estranged dad's surname from her own when she turned 18 last summer.
After Zahara stepped out with what appeared to be an engagement ring, Pitt was reportedly 'devastated.'
He reportedly learned about the engagement rumors online, which was like a 'punch in the gut' since he hadn't heard anything about it from his daughter, an insider told journalist Rob Shuter.
He made a shocking remark about his family after his bitter divorce with Jolie officially came to an end but his fractured relationship with their six children remains unresolved.

Pitt — who believes his relationship with two of his children is 'unfixable' — opened up about how important family is to him — amid his ongoing and escalating estrangement from his kids.
Speaking at the F1 premiere in Mexico City, he said: 'No matter the mistake, you just learn from [it] and move on,' he told ET. 'It'll lead to the next success.'
The Oscar winner continued, 'When you get to my age, you realize how important it is to surround yourself with the people you love, the people that love you back.'
'Friends, family, and that's it," he added. 'From there, we get to go make things. It's a pretty simple, I think, equation.'
The interview comes after a source exclusively told DailyMail.com how Pitt felt after Pax was pictured last month stumbling out of the Chateau Marmont, propped up by several friends.
'He has zero concern with what Pax does or doesn't do. [Pax's] actions reflect who he is,' the insider said.
'Brad honestly considers his relationship with Pax unfixable,' they added.
The source went on to say that the actor doesn't appear to be planning any outreach to either of his adopted sons: 'Pax and Maddox have made it abundantly clear how they feel, and Brad has nothing to say about either of them.'
As for his other children, the source said that Pitt 'holds out hope that the others will one day come around. Time heals wounds.'
A source close to Jolie also hit back at her ex-husband at the time and said: 'Brad continues to play the victim. His fractured relationship with his children is a direct result of how he has treated them.
'He should stop blaming others. If he wants to rebuild a relationship with the kids, he should acknowledge his own actions and make amends.'

EXCLUSIVE Barbara Walters' former The View cohost Debbie Matenopoulos reveals what the star was REALLY like

Barbara Walters ' mentee and former co-host on The View Debbie Matenopoulos has shared a special insight into what it was really like being under the wing of the renowned journalist. Debbie, now 50, was one of the original panelists on the ABC show The View, which was created by celebrated broadcaster Walters in 1997 and is still airing today. She was cast on the popular daytime show after a chance encounter with the late journalist, who invited her to audition for the panel and, after impressing executives, became the youngest co-hosts on the program at the age of 22. Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail, Debbie, shed light on what it was like having Walters as her mentor and revealed that, although there were times she was 'as tough as nails,' she ultimately learned everything there was to know about the industry from her. 'I mean, imagine sitting next to probably the most influential and most well renowned female journalist in history and probably the best female interviewer in history, and her being your teacher and also being your boss,' she said. 'And also, you represent her and this was the choice she made. You have big shoes to fill and a lot to live up to, and you don't want to mess it up, but inevitably you do because you're 22. It's a lot of responsibility and it's overwhelming. 'Overwhelming but and scary and fun.' There were times, Debbie recalled, that she was reprimanded live on television by Walters for her misbehaving - although viewers probably wouldn't have noticed it. 'She was spunky, she was funny, she could tell the funniest jokes and also kind of say the most cutting things,' she said. 'She was just hysterical and very understated, but she'd do it like such a lady. And she was kind. 'I mean, look, there were times where she was so tough on me she would pinch me under the table, because I was a child! 'They would be having serious conversations and I'd say, "Oh my gosh, you'll never guess what I did this weekend." 'And they'd be like, "shut up."' Debbie was sensationally fired from The View in 1999, just two years after she joined the show's original line-up alongside Walters, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, and Joy Behar. She was only 22 when she joined the show and was still finding her footing as a young adult in the bright lights of New York City – going out partying in the middle of the week and coming to filming a little worse to wear. 'I wouldn't change it for the world,' Debbie reflected before she quickly quipped: 'I mean, maybe I'd change a few things, like perhaps not going to the clubs and then going to work, maybe to change that part, but the rest no.' Despite her dramatic exit from The View, Debbie maintained a friendship with Walters for many years after, and there was no bad blood between them. 'I learned everything I know about journalism from Barbara,' she reflected. 'I mean, truly. I went to NYU journalism school, and it was nothing compared to sitting next to her every day and she was great, she's tough as nails but she was also amazing. 'She also had this like sort of empathy for people and sympathy for people because she had a hard life growing up and I don't know that everybody knows that. I mean, now that the Hulu documentary is going to be out and you'll see.' Additionally, Debbie said that Walters, who died in December 2022 aged 93, paved the way for women in the industry during her impressive six-decade career while also battling a string of private family troubles. 'There wasn't a place for women back that she was the first woman to be an anchor on the nightly news,' Debbie continued. 'Her sister had Down's Syndrome and she took care of her. Her father was a gambler, and it was up and down all the time. They were rich, they're poor, they're rich, they're poor. 'She had to support her family, and I don't think people really know that. They don't give her the credit that she deserves. 'And she had to fight against the fact that not only did they not want her to, she was a woman, but she said "I was never the prettiest. I had the speech impediment that everyone make fun of." 'Yet she was like, "no, you do not define me. I define me and I'll show you what I'm capable of." And that's what she taught me and what she taught all of us.' Debbie, who has spent the last year writing her new cookbook, Greek-ish, added: 'I think she represents so much for any woman in journalism or any woman in front of the camera.'

Oprah cracks joke on-stage while revealing if she ever attended any of Diddy's notorious white parties

Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' ongoing sex trafficking trial has left A-list stars fearful of having their names dragged into the scandal. But Oprah Winfrey has revealed that her conscience is completely clear. 'First off, I have never been near a Puff Party - never been near it,' she told the audience during her panel at the Good Soil Forum in Dallas last week. 'And anybody who knows me knows if there is a party, I am the first one out,' she jokingly added, prompting laughter from the crowd. Oprah was dragged into the Diddy chaos earlier this month after an AI -generated deepfake shared widely online claimed she - along with Jennifer Lawrence and Jim Carrey - was a witness in the trial. Although the video was easily debunked, conspiracy theorists have not stopped linking dozens of celebrities to the disgraced rap mogul. Oprah has met Diddy multiple times and been photographed with him, but maintains that her acquaintance with the rapper is just a professional one. Diddy's federal trial has entered its sixth week, with jurors repeatedly hearing testimony about drug-fueled sex marathons dubbed 'freak-offs' at his infamous parties. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. Oprah and famed pastor TD Jakes, both of whom have been victim of Diddy hoaxes, addressed the rumors against them at the business leadership and entrepreneurial conference last Thursday. The trial was thrust into the conversation as the duo were discussing the benefits - and dangers - of artificial intelligence. Jakes applauded the use of the technology during a surgery he had after his heart attack last November, The Dallas Morning News reports. He revealed how doctors 'went in through my arteries in my arm' and 'cleared out my heart while I was awake because of AI'. Although he seemed excited about the technology's use in medicine, Jakes shared how he fears the use of AI could lead to job losses. The talk show host, however, was concerned about deepfakes. 'There's a picture of me naked in bed with Puffy,' Oprah told the conference. 'I saw it myself. AI-generated.' She then declared she had never gone to one of his parties. Jakes, claiming 'people love salacious stories', revealed that he too had been the subject of a wild Diddy rumor. 'I stopped by Puffy's house for 30 minutes to say happy birthday to him during the day at 2 o'clock with staff people and out of that came a love affair and all kinds of stuff,' he said. As the audience erupted into laughter again, Oprah exclaimed: 'You too?!' 'Yes!' Jakes replied. 'I am almost 70 years old, what do I look like? 'And I am a grandfather. What do I look like at this late date?' Prosecutors are expected to rest their case against Combs on Monday in Manhattan federal court. The defense is expected to call witnesses of its own this week. Prosecutors claim that for nearly two decades, Combs forced two of his ex-girlfriends into ecstasy-fueled, days-long sexual performances with male prostitutes in hotel rooms while he watched, masturbated and sometimes filmed. The defense argues that both former girlfriends, R&B singer Casandra Ventura and a woman known in court by the pseudonym Jane, were willing participants in the sex acts. His defense lawyers do not deny that the sex acts took place, and acknowledge that Combs was abusive in domestic relationships. But during cross-examination of the government's witnesses, the defense brought jurors' attention to sexually explicit text messages in which the women expressed affection for Combs. Both women testified that they at times took part in the sexual performances to make Combs happy, and that they participated well after brutal beatings by Combs, who was also known during his career as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy. Combs has pleaded not guilty to two counts of sex trafficking as well as charges of racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. The sex trafficking counts carry the highest potential prison sentence if convicted - a mandatory minimum of 15 years, and a possible life sentence. In order for Combs to be convicted of sex trafficking, prosecutors must prove the sex acts were commercial in nature, and that he used force, threats, fraud or coercion to compel his girlfriends to take part. To convict Combs on any of the five counts he faces, the 12-member jury must unanimously conclude that prosecutors proved their allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
