Zari Hassan and her young boyfriend Shakib Lutaya are commemorating their first year of dating today. Zari revealed this in a recent post on her Instagram story, where she shared several images and videos of the two of them and wished him a happy anniversary.

The one-year anniversary is also a declaration that they have survived the challenges they have faced since they first started dating. Given that Zari is 11 years older than Shakib, the couple has primarily been criticized for their age difference.


When Zari introduced her young partner, social media users responded in various ways. Some criticized her for setting a poor example for her children and others who looked up to her, while some praised her for leading the greatest life possible. Considering her baby daddy Diamond is younger, she enjoys dating younger men.


They appear prepared to go to the next stage based on the current situation. Zari told her followers about that. In a video she shared on Instagram, she claimed that Shakib was prepared to meet her father and propose to her.


The socialite recently addressed those who wished her and her partner ill, claiming that their relationship would end in tears, with no pleasant words when speaking in her native tongue.


The mother of five encouraged them to hold off till thy kingdom arrived if they wanted to see their relationship fall apart. As she said, Zari was enjoying herself with her lover, standing next to her.


She is adamant about making their relationship work, and she never lets her trolls get the better of her when they attack her in regard to her boyfriend.


Since their relationship began, she has defended herself against inquiries and criticisms over their apparent age gap. Zari recently shared a hidden message on social media reflecting on her present relationship. "I'm not going by the norms where society is putting standards we're supposed to love individuals of specific calibers," she said.
