Friday, June 12, 2026 - Popular Ugandan socialite, Zari Hassan, and her partner, Shakib Cham, have announced their separation after five years together.
The former couple made the announcement in a joint statement
shared on Zari's Instagram page today June 12.
In the statement, the two explained that they had mutually
agreed to part ways after reflecting on their journey together.
‘’Five years
later after much thought and reflection, we believe it is best for us to part
ways due to irreconcilable differences. While this wasnt an easy decision, we
feel it is the right one for both of us. We appreciate the time we shared, the
memories we created, and the support we gave each other.
There is no anger or resentment, sometimes two people simply grow in different directions. We value each other and remain friends with mutual respect and understanding. We sincerely wish each other happiness, success, and all the best for the future'' the statement reads
The couple got married in a private Islamic Nikah ceremony
in April 2023 in Pretoria, South Africa. Before tying the knot, they had been
dating for just under a year, having publicly made their relationship official
in May 2022. Before their wedding, Zari revealed she visited Shakib’s parents
and they had no issue with him marrying a woman 12 years older than him.
In October 2023, they held a grand white wedding that was
prominently featured on the Netflix reality series Young, Famous & African,
in which her baby daddy, singer Diamond Platnumz, also appears as a cast
member.
They have no child together
