Zari Hassan and Shakib Cham Lutaaya Announce Separation After Five Years

Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan and businessman Shakib Cham Lutaaya have officially announced the end of their marriage after five years together.

The announcement was shared on Zari’s Instagram stories on June 12, 2026, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their separation.

According to reports, the decision came after deep reflection, with both parties noting that they have grown in different directions. Despite the breakup, they emphasized mutual respect and the intention to remain on good terms.

However, Shakib later expressed surprise in a radio interview, stating that he was not aware of the public announcement before it was posted online.

The couple got married in a private Islamic Nikah ceremony in April 2023 in South Africa and later renewed their vows in 2025. Their relationship had attracted public attention due to their age difference and high-profile lifestyle.

The news has sparked wide reactions on social media, with many fans expressing shock over the sudden separation.
