Ugandan-South African socialite, reality TV star, and businesswoman Zari Hassan has addressed fresh pregnancy rumors after photos showing her with a seemingly bulging tummy went viral on Snapchat.
The images immediately sparked speculation among fans that Zari Hassan was expecting her first child with her young husband, Shakib Cham Lutaaya, but the mother of five has firmly denied the claims.
According to Zari, the viral photos were taken on the set of a new movie project in which she plays a pregnant wife who sets out to take revenge on her cheating husband and his mistress.
āPeople are silly. They see me on my Snapchat every day posting pictures of myself, and they know Iām not pregnant. Can I get pregnant in just two days? They should use common sense. I put a hashtag showing I was on set, but they just ran with everything,ā Zari Hassan told fans.
Despite clarifying the pregnancy speculation, The Boss Lady revealed her deep desire to have children with Shakib. She made a heartfelt confession that she suffered a miscarriage in May 2025 at six weeks of pregnancy.
āI lost my pregnancy with Shakib at six weeks in May this year. But I hope to get pregnant again soon and have our children,ā Zari shared.
Zari Hassan also opened up about her marriage to Shakib Cham, praising him as the most understanding man she has ever been with.
āHe is my person, and he understands me so much. He is my personal person and my go-to person. I get him, the same way he gets me. Other men didnāt understand me like Shakib. God gave him to me as a gift,ā she added.
The celebrity couple, often referred to as Zari and Shakib, tied the knot in a private ceremony and frequently share romantic moments on Instagram and Snapchat, keeping their relationship in the public eye.
With Zari Hassan openly speaking about her miscarriage, love life, and hopes for another pregnancy, fans across Uganda, South Africa, and Tanzania are watching closely for updates on whether the power couple will soon share baby news.
