Ugandan-South African socialite and entrepreneur Zari Hassan, popularly known as Zari the Boss Lady, and her husband Shakib Cham have announced their separation after five years together.
The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in South Africa in April 2023, shared the news in a joint statement, describing the decision as mutual and made after careful reflection.
“Five years later, after much thought and reflection, we believe it is best for us to part ways due to irreconcilable differences. While this wasn’t an easy decision, we feel it is the right one for both of us,” the statement read.
The pair expressed gratitude for the time they spent together and emphasized that there was no hostility behind their decision.
“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.”
Throughout their relationship, Zari and Shakib frequently shared glimpses of their life together on social media, balancing a long-distance marriage between Uganda and South Africa. Despite occasional speculation about the state of their relationship, the couple had repeatedly dismissed breakup rumors in the past.
News of the separation sparked widespread reaction online, with many fans expressing shock while others revisited previous reports that had hinted at challenges in the relationship.

"Miaka mitano baadaye, baada ya tafakari na kufikiria kwa kina, tunaamini ni vyema kwa sisi kutengana kutokana na tofauti ambazo haziwezi kusuluhishwa.
Ingawa uamuzi huu haukuwa rahisi, tunahisi ni uamuzi sahihi kwa kila mmoja wetu. Tunathamini muda tuliokaa pamoja, kumbukumbu tulizounda, na kusaidiana tulikofanyana. Hakuna hasira wala kinyongo; wakati mwingine watu wawili hukua katika mwelekeo tofauti.
Tunathaminiana na tutabaki marafiki wenye heshima na ufahamu wa pamoja. Tunatakiana kwa dhati furaha, mafanikio, na kila la heri kwa siku za usoni."
