Leila Sono is dating Zari Hassan’s son Raphael who everyone thought is gay after admitting he finds men more attractive than women.
In May 2021, Raphael Ssemwanga through a live Instagram video revealed that he finds men more attractive than women.
Raphael pointed out that it was something he had been thinking about for too long and had come to the realization that he likes gents.
“I took some time, I was thinking every time, and I think I like gents. You guys might judge me, you might think it’s not who I am, but in my heart, I see gents attractive and not females but that’s just what it is,” Raphael said.
Zari quickly come out to clarify that her second-born son was straight and that he only said he was gay to ward off randy older women hitting on him.
“I think there have been videos trending on my son when he came out to claim that he is gay, and it has been blown out of proportion. I am going to be clear about one thing, Raphael is not gay, Raphael is dating, and he started dating when he was 14 years old. And when I say dating I don’t mean sleeping with girls.
“He came out to say he is gay because women are after him. Grown women have been sending n*de pictures… He said that to push these people off he has a girlfriend,” Zari said.
The mother of five, added that if his son ever comes out to him as gay she will support him and help him out as any loving parent would do.
“If for instance or example Raphael turned out to be gay today I am going to tell you as his parent as his mom that it is something that I am going to support him through, it’s my duty as a parent because that will be a choice that he has decided in life.”
Zari wasn’t lying when she said Raphael is straight and that he is also dating, the young man is in a relationship with one Leila Sono.
The 41-year-old South Africa-based Ugandan socialite for the very first time introduced her son’s girlfriend to the world on February 17th 2022.
Zari shared a photo of her son Raphael holding his girlfriend Leila Sona while they took a mirror selfie on her official Instagram story.
After Zari shared her son’s girlfriend Sono, people got curious and wanted to know more about her.
Sono has been dating Raphael since early 2021. Through her Instagram, she talked about her future mother-in-law Zari.
Days ago Sono shared a screenshot on Instagram story from a fan who asked her ‘How is it to have Zari as a mum-in-law?’ and her caption read: “She is a very wonderful woman. So welcoming and kind.’
In addition, she revealed that she had met her and all the moments were worth it.
