Socialite Zari Hassan had a double cause for celebration on Saturday night.
She won the award for Best Female TV personality at the National Film and TV Awards ceremony in Pretoria, South Africa, and her husband, Shakib Lutaaya, was on hand to capture the moment on his phone.
Zari was recognized for her role in the Netflix reality TV show Young, Famous, and African, on which she has featured for two seasons. She beat off competition from Nigerian actress Annie Macualay-Idibia and South Africa's Kaleigh Schwark, both part of the cast of the same show.
In her acceptance speech, Zari thanked her fans for their support and said that she was dedicating the award to her children.
Meanwhile, her baby daddy Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz was in Kigali, Rwanda with their two children Tiffah and Nillan, plus Tanasha Donna's Naseeb. He won Trace Awards' Best Artiste, East Africa.
Diamond is also part of the cast of Young, Famous, and African. In season two, he was particularly the highlight especially after falling for Ghanaian rapper Fantana with whom he displayed affection in the presence of Zari who clashed with the Ghanaian multiple times.
