Shakib Lutaaya has opened up about a deeply personal and painful experience, revealing that his wife suffered a miscarriage in May. He made the revelation during a series of recent interviews, where he also addressed the long-standing question of why he does not follow her on Instagram.

Speaking in an interview on Tuesday, August 19, Shakib confirmed that the couple had experienced a miscarriage, a loss he described as deeply painful and a subject he finds difficult to speak about publicly. He stated that while he was fully aware of the situation at the time, he chose not to make any public statement out of respect for his wife, who had already spoken openly about the loss. Shakib explained that he prefers to handle personal matters in silence, saying that Zari is the best person to provide further details if she wishes.

In a separate interview on Monday, August 18, Shakib addressed the lingering question about his and Zari’s Instagram relationship. He confirmed that they have not followed each other for about a year. He explained that his decision was a reaction to Zari’s initial action of unfollowing him, rather than a premeditated move, and that they have never had a formal discussion about the issue.

The couple, whose age-gap relationship has been under constant public scrutiny, has been a subject of frequent headlines across East Africa. Shakib’s recent media appearances offer a rare glimpse into the unique challenges faced by the high-profile couple, from navigating personal grief to managing their public image on social media.
