Currently a student at Morehouse in Atlanta, Georgia, the nation's only historically black private liberal arts college for men, Elijah is attempting to balance getting a degree with his booming career.
He made an appearance on GMA Weekends to promote the new Goosebumps series and explained his dedication to both crafts, saying: "I wanted to make sure I have the tools and knowledge to not only advance my career but also make a difference beyond the screen."

Angelina Jolie: dating history

Angelina's first public romantic link was to model Jenny Shimizu, whom she met on the set of Foxfire. In an interview for Girlfriends Magazine in 1997, Angelina said: "I probably would have married Jenny Shimizu if I hadn't married my husband."
Jonny Lee Miller (1996-1999)
Angelina married Jonny when she was 20 after they met on the set of Hackers in 1995. They had an unconventional wedding where she wore black rubber pants and a white t-shirt inscribed with his name in her blood. The marriage was short-lived when they divorced in 1999 however, they remain friends.
Billy Bob Thornton (2000–2003)
Angelina married the actor Billy Bob Thornton in 2000, but they separated only two years later. The couple was publicised for their unusual look of wearing vials of each other's blood.
Brad Pitt (2005–2016)
Hollywood's biggest couple of the last decade, ''Brangelina'' began dating after co-starring in Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005. They married in 2014 and went on to have six children together; however, they legally separated in 2016. The divorce settlement wasn't reached until the end of 2024.
Since Brad, she has not publicly stepped out with anyone.
Elijah and Zahara's relationship
Not much is known about Elijah and Zahara's romance, or how the pair met. It is likely they first got in touch through either common Hollywood circles or college circles, given both attend schools that are part of the Atlanta University Center academic consortium.
Earlier this month, the 20-year-old sparked engagement rumors when she and Elijah were spotted after a dinner in West Hollywood and sported a ring on *that* finger. However, there's been no word on the matter since, and Zahara ditched the ring for their latest outing.

He even shared a TikTok of himself and Zahara doing a trending dance, and were photographed walking around the park together holding hands.
