Zari Hassan responds to critics saying she is too old for her boyfriend

South Africa-based Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan has defended her relationship with her current partner who is younger than her by over ten years.

Zari said society was unfair in judging women harshly for dating men younger than them but did not do so for women dating older men.

The mother of five said she was mostly scrutinized because people knew she had older children.

“My boyfriend is 30 almost turning 31 so he’s not young, he does look young. Am turning 42 and you would not tell unless you know I have older children if you didn’t know me before but you think because I have older kids It looks like am too old.
