While wishing Shakib Cham a happy Father's Day, Zari Hassan also intends to make him a father of two since she recognized his first child from a previous relationship.


"Happy Father's Day my šŸ«… Father of 1, hope we make it 2 inshallah šŸ™šŸ¾," - Zari Hassan.


In April 2023, Zari and Shakib exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony. According to the socialite, Shakib is her first legitimate spouse because the late Ivan Semwanga and singer Diamond never had a legal marriage with her despite having introduced her to their families.


The 12-year age gap between Zari and Shakib has drawn criticism for their relationship from online trolls, but the couple has maintained their dignity, with Shakib (30) taking Zari (42) to meet his parents in December.


"Shakib is not a child. He is old enough to have an affair with me. I am 42 years and he is 30, what's the problem with that?


"I have seen men who go into marriage with underage women and they are left to move freely, so get a life. I am not committing any crime," - Zari


The Ugandan businesswoman living in South Africa is the mother of five kids from two prior marriages.
