Zari, who is married to Shakib Cham, hosted Diamond and his girlfriend Zuchu, who are both singers, at her house. The four of them seemed to enjoy each other's company, as they danced, laughed, and took photos together.
Zari posted a video of the reunion on her Instagram account, and captioned it "Blended family". She also shared a photo of her and Zuchu, and wrote "The boss ladies".
The video went viral on social media, and sparked mixed reactions from fans. Some praised Zari and Diamond for their maturity and co-parenting skills, while others speculated that they were using their partners for publicity and content for their upcoming reality show, Young, Famous and African.
A Tanzanian-US based blogger, Mange Kimambi, claimed that Zari and Diamond were creating a storyline for their show, and that their partners would end up in tears. "This is not going to end well….. Mtakuja kuniambia….. Zari na Dai wanatengeneza story line ya show yao ya Young Famous and African," she wrote on her Instagram page.
Some fans agreed with Mange, and said that they would not be able to do what Zari and Diamond did, if they were in their shoes. They said that they still had feelings for each other, and that they were disrespecting their partners.
Others, however, defended Zari and Diamond, and said that they were setting a good example for other women and men who have children with their exes. They said that they were showing that they had moved on, and that they were happy for each other. They also applauded Zuchu and Shakib for being supportive and understanding.
Zari and Diamond broke up in 2018, after Diamond admitted to cheating on Zari with another woman, who gave birth to his son. Zari accused Diamond of being a deadbeat dad, and cut off communication with him for two years.
They reconciled in 2020, after Diamond apologized to Zari, and started spending time with their children, Princess Tiffah and Prince Nillan. They also agreed to work together on their reality show, which will feature their lives and careers.
Zari, who is a businesswoman and socialite, married Shakib, a fitness trainer, in 2019. They have kept their relationship private, and rarely post each other on social media.
Diamond, who is one of the most popular artists in Africa, started dating Zuchu, who is his protégé and signee under his record label, WCB Wasafi, in 2020. They have collaborated on several songs, such as Cheche and Litawachoma, and have been open about their romance.
