how did mamdani meet his wife

Zohran Mamdani met his wife, Rama Duwaji, on the dating app Hinge in 2021. They briefly kept their relationship private as his public profile grew, but began appearing together more publicly after his political profile rose and they eventually married in a civil ceremony in early 2025, with a traditional Muslim wedding in Dubai that followed engagement in 2024. Duwaji is an artist and illustrator, and the couple has since been highlighted in profiles and interviews surrounding Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign and victory.
