Ugandan socialite and reality TV star, Zarinah Hassan, has tied the knot with Shakib Cham Lutaaya, her lover who’s 12 years younger than her.

It was learnt that she wedded her younger lover in a private ceremony, though she’s never kept their relationship hidden.

Zari, who has two kids for Tanzanian music star, Diamond Platnumz often posts loved-up photos and videos of herself with Shakib on her social media page.

The star of Netflix’s ‘Young, Famous & African’, and her beau recently held a nikkah (Muslim wedding) in a house and a clip from the occasion surfaced online.

The couple could be seen exchanging their vows in the presence of their family and friends.

Meanwhile, the mother of five earlier revealed that she visited Shakib’s parents and they have no problem with him marrying a woman who is 12 years older than him.

This is Zari’s second shot at marriage. Her first union to Diamond Platnumz ended sometime in 2018 due to cheating allegations.

She claimed to have tried everything she could to keep their marriage even when she knew Diamond had been unfaithful.

The reality star said she would always defend Diamond’s bad deeds, but Diamond did not do the same for her.

Zari said;

“Even the times when I knew you messed up, I would just keep silent for the sake of peace, for us to be happy, let it go, let it slide, move on, keep going, keep your family.

“You gave me away…Baba T you know I was here for you, like I would deny for you, I would take a bullet for you, but every time I did that for you, you did the opposite, me and your kids were being attacked, I had nowhere to hide.”

She added;

“When these people start producing receipts of your behavior, what you did, and the receipts are in our faces, I pull out and say yes he did it.

“I moved on, I’m happy where I am and I’m sure he’s happy where he is but personally it’s something that keeps coming back, I had something good going and it got so messed up.”
