In a surprising turn of events, Aminath Zara, the celebrated dancer hailing from B. Kamadhoo, and prominent businessman and MP Ahmed Siyam Mohamed—better known as Sun Siyam of tourism empire fame—have officially divorced.
What’s New?
According to Velidhoo MP Mohamed Abbas, who is also a key member of the Maldivian Democratic Alliance and close to the Sun Siyam group, the split was mutual and “amicable”, following polite discussions between both parties. Abbas shared the announcement on social media late this evening.
Quick Refresher on the Couple:
- The pair’s whirlwind romance led to a wedding on October 10, 2024. Siyam, now 55, and Zara, a mere 23 at the time, tied the knot less than a year ago.
- The lavish ceremony included two celebrations—one on Zara’s home island of Kamadhoo and another at Olhuveli Resort under the Sun Siyam banner.
- The union also drew attention for a modest dowry of just MVR 2,024 —a figure that quickly became fodder for tabloids across the Maldives.
Background Details:
At the time of his marriage to Zara, Siyam was already legally wed to a Moroccan national—a marriage that remains in place. The newly ended marriage with Zara, however, was based on “mutual love,” Abbas clarified, and ended without drama or discord.
What It Means:
This announcement marks the end of a high-profile union that captivated Maldivians from the moment the young dancer and tourism titan became engaged. Despite marked age and lifestyle differences—Zara is known for her traditional dance performances, while Siyam spearheads a major hospitality empire—the relationship endured nearly nine months.
With the news confirmed and described as cordial, observers now anticipate potential implications for both individuals’ public and personal lives. Whether Zara returns to the cultural spotlight or Siyam shifts focus to his existing ventures and family, this separation signals a significant moment in Maldives’ celebrity landscape.
Stay tuned for updates—this celebrity story is far from over.
