'Zatima' Turns Two: A Look Back at Iconic Moments

As the series celebrates its two-year anniversary, we look back at the iconic moments that have made Zac and Fatima's love story a fan favorite.

This week marks two years since "Zatima" made its debut—quite the journey for a spinoff we didn’t even see coming. Originally, Zac and Fatima were just supporting characters on Sistas, but their undeniable chemistry quickly made them fan favorites. Soon, their on-screen romance blossomed into its own show. Now, with season three on the horizon, let’s revisit five unforgettable moments from the series that have had fans hooked from day one.

The Proposal

No one knew where Zac and Fatima’s story was headed when they first got together. What started as playful flirting quickly turned into something real. But just when it seemed like Fatima was ready to walk away, Zac took a leap of faith and proposed—one of the most unexpected and heartwarming moments in the series.

The Breakup

Zac and Fatima’s relationship has been far from smooth sailing. Between insecurities, exes, baby mama drama, and jealousy, their romance hit a breaking point, leading to a temporary breakup. It was a gut-wrenching chapter in their love story that had viewers on the edge of their seats.

Overcoming Temptation

During their time apart, both Zac and Fatima struggled to move on. Temptation came knocking with Paul, the handsome construction worker with eyes for Fatima, and Connie, Zac’s old flame trying to reignite their past. Let’s not forget Deja, who took full advantage of the breakup to shoot her shot. Despite the temptations, Zatima ultimately found their way back to each other—much to fans’ relief.

Discovering the Kids

Fatima didn't sign up for baby mama drama, but she got it anyway. Zac found out about his son, Michael, and stepped up as a father, though things got even more complicated with Karen’s twins. Raising one half of a set of twins meant taking on the responsibility for both—a major plot twist that added depth to their evolving relationship.

Fatima’s Big News

As if their blended family wasn’t complicated enough, Fatima has some news of her own—a baby on the way! With three kids already in the mix, Zac and Fatima are about to expand their family even more. And while Fatima’s pregnancy might feel like it’s going to stretch across several seasons (Karen, after all, has been pregnant for what feels like forever), we can’t wait to see how this storyline unfolds in season three.

As we gear up for another season, one thing’s for sure—Zatima’s journey has been full of surprises, and we’re here for every twist and turn!
