Ugandan socialite and entrepreneur Zari Hassan took to Instagram to commemorate the 7th anniversary of her former husband Ivan Ssemwanga’s passing.
In an emotional tribute shared on her Instagram stories, Zari expressed her enduring love for Ivan, reassuring him that she and their children still hold him dear in their hearts.
“7 years seems like yesterday. May Allah continue testing you in peace. We will always love you ❤️,” Zari wrote alongside a throwback photo featuring Ivan and their three sons, capturing a moment from years ago when they were all together.
Ivan Ssemwanga, a flamboyant businessman, tragically passed away on May 25, 2017, at the age of 39.
He succumbed to a heart attack while undergoing treatment at Steve Biko Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa, where he had been admitted for several days.
Zari Hassan, who was married to Ivan for a decade, announced his untimely death through her social media channels.
The couple tied the knot in 2004 after dating since 2000, and their union was blessed with three children: Pinto, Raphael, and Quincy Ssemwanga.
Their marriage, however, faced challenges, and Zari made the difficult decision to part ways with Ivan in 2014, citing issues of toxicity and abuse.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Zari has maintained a respectful and loving attitude towards Ivan, honoring his memory and legacy.
As she marks another year without him, Zari’s heartfelt tribute serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond they share, transcending time and distance.
