Lulu Hassan And Rashid Abdalla Share The Secret To Their Power Marriage

Renowned television anchor Lulu Hassan added another accolade to her stellar career after being honored at the prestigious Superwoman Awards for her profound social impact.

The star-studded event showcased not just her professional triumph, but also the tight-knit bond that makes her and her husband, Rashid Abdalla, Kenya’s ultimate media power couple. Rashid, who warmly accompanied his wife to the gala, stood by her side as they opened up about their love life, shared business empire, and the foundation that keeps their marriage unshakable.

“Friendship First”

When pressed on what keeps their union so strong despite co-anchoring on live television and running a massive production house together, Lulu didn’t hesitate to pinpoint the exact formula.

“Before anything, it is friendship,” Lulu revealed. “In everything else, we have always been friends. Then the other things come later—then he becomes my husband and lover. You know why I am saying he must be my friend? It is because I will understand him better. I will know when he is angry. There is something he will do, and I will know I have crossed the line. Those are the things that keep us together and glued.”

A Husband’s Ultimate Tribute

Rashid, speaking affectionately at the awards, echoed her sentiments, constantly referring to Lulu as his “dear friend” before praising her relentless drive to uplift others.

“I have brought my friend—a very dear friend of mine who was recognized tonight,” Rashid proudly stated. “We are here to celebrate her hard work, effort, and the impact she has on society. I feel like people have finally taken the time to see the things she does behind the scenes.”

He noted that Lulu’s philanthropic and community work isn’t a recent PR stunt, but a core part of who she is. “Since I knew her, she has been doing things for society; it is her character and something that she loves. It gives her value because she has found her true return in life.”

While the duo continues to set the standard for couples working in the same corporate space, their message remains simple: before building an empire together, build a friendship.
