Who Is Zohran Mamdani’s Wife? Meet Artist and Creative Voice Rama Duwaji

They didn’t meet at a political gala or through shared circles of influence — their story started with a swipe.
In 2021, Zohran Mamdani and Rama Duwaji connected on Hinge, their first messages turning into conversations that would soon redefine their lives. Their first date — coffee at a cozy Yemeni café in Brooklyn followed by a stroll through McCarren Park — set the tone: simple, genuine, and full of curiosity.
The next time they met, Zohran proudly showed her around Astoria, the neighborhood that had long been his anchor. Neither of them could have guessed that this place — the heart of his community and his political journey — would one day also be part of their shared story.
Their bond grew quietly, away from cameras or headlines. It was built on mutual respect, shared values, and deep admiration for each other’s work. In October 2024, they became engaged, and Rama expressed her happiness online, writing that she “couldn’t be prouder.” Soon after, surrounded by family and soft Dubai sunsets, they celebrated their union privately — a reflection of their grounded love and understated joy.
