Ugandan businesswoman and TV reality star Zari Hassan has opened up about the values she is instilling in her sons, saying she is raising them to become responsible husbands who understand the importance of commitment, provision and family.
Zari, in a candid statement shared on Monday, August 10,2026, said that she does not want her sons to keep women waiting for years without making their intentions clear, insisting that they should be ready to commit when they find the right partners.
“I am raising husbands; they will not make a woman wait 2 years without a ring, they will work and provide, they won’t need your daughters money their goal is to have a foundation laid,” Zari wrote.
The mother of five also said she is teaching her sons that providing for their families should be part of their responsibilities as husbands.
Zari further shared the lessons she gives them about supporting their wives during pregnancy, saying a husband should ensure his pregnant partner is comfortable and free from unnecessary worries as she prepares to give birth.
“I teach them when your wife is pregnant you are to make sure she has no worries but to bring your healthy baby into this world,” she added.
Zari’s children
Zari is a mother of five children, including four sons and one daughter.
Her three sons, Pinto, Raphael, and Quincy, are from her previous relationship with the late Ugandan businessman and socialite Ivan Semwanga, who died in 2017.
Zari’s younger children, Prince Nillan and Princess Tiffah, were born during her relationship with Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz. She and Diamond welcomed their daughter Tiffah in 2015, followed by their son Nillan in 2016.
However, Zari has previously maintained that she wants her children to grow up knowing the importance of responsibility and independence.
Her latest comments appear to reflect that approach, particularly when it comes to preparing her sons for adulthood, relationships and eventual fatherhood.
Beyond financial provision, Zari’s remarks also place emphasis on emotional and practical support within marriage.
