Zohran Mamdani and artist Rama Duwaji’s love story began in 2021 not through politics or social circles, but on the dating app Hinge. Their first meeting was at a Yemeni café in Brooklyn, followed by a walk through McCarren Park. On their second date, Zohran showed her around Astoria, the neighborhood that would later play a meaningful role in their shared life.

Their relationship developed naturally, built on shared values, creativity, and respect for each other’s work. By October 2024, the couple became engaged, and Rama shared her happiness publicly, expressing how proud she was. Their engagement celebration took place privately in Dubai, surrounded by family and the warm hues of sunset, marking the start of a new chapter together.

Soon after, they officially married in a simple yet heartfelt ceremony at New York’s City Clerk’s Office. A candid photograph of the pair in a subway station—Rama in a white dress and boots, holding flowers—captured the authenticity and charm of their connection. Their story, intimate and genuine, reflected both their individuality and shared sense of purpose.

Rama’s artistic background added another dimension to their partnership. Raised in Houston and Dubai, she built a career in illustration, exploring themes such as identity, womanhood, and cultural heritage. Her work reflects a blend of personal expression and universal themes that have resonated with audiences.

Throughout Zohran’s professional journey, Rama’s creative influence could be seen in the visuals and ideas that connected with the public. Though she tends to stay out of the spotlight, her contributions have been deeply felt and appreciated by those who follow their work.

Together, Zohran and Rama represent a modern love rooted in mutual respect and creativity. Their story—from a simple swipe to a shared life in New York—illustrates how ordinary beginnings can lead to extraordinary partnerships built on trust, shared dreams, and enduring love.
