Ugandan socialite and businesswoman Zari Hassan and her husband Shakib Cham Lutaaya have reignited reconciliation rumours after being seen enjoying each other just weeks after publicly announcing the end of their marriage.
On June 12, 2026, Zari surprised fans by revealing that she and Shakib had ended their five-year relationship, citing “irreconcilable differences” and asking the public to respect their privacy.
Shortly after the announcement, Shakib disclosed that he had learned about the breakup through social media, just like everyone else, a revelation that sparked widespread debate online.
However, fresh videos and photos now circulating on social media show the couple enjoying a getaway in Jinja, appearing relaxed, cheerful, and comfortable in each other’s company.
In one of the viral clips, Shakib jokingly tells Zari that she “can’t dump him,” adding that she must have been influenced by “bad spirits” when she announced their breakup. Zari is seen laughing as the pair share lighthearted moments, further fueling speculation that they may have reconciled.
The timing of the couple’s original split announcement has also continued to raise eyebrows. It came just days before Shakib’s celebrity boxing match against Kenyan musician Arrow Bwoy, a fight he went on to win by technical knockout in the second round.
As a result, some social media users have questioned whether the breakup was genuine or whether it was linked to publicity surrounding the boxing event.
Despite the growing speculation, neither Zari nor Shakib has officially confirmed that they are back together or clarified the current status of their relationship.
For now, their latest public appearances have only intensified speculation, with fans closely watching to see whether one of East Africa’s most talked-about celebrity couples has truly reunited.
