Zohran Mamdani<\/a> is the projected winner of Mayor of New York City tonight (November 4), and by his side throughout the journey is his wife, Rama Duwaji<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old politician has largely kept most of his relationship out of the spotlight, but recently shared a rare and heartfelt tribute to his 28-year-old partner on Instagram. <\/p>\n

\u201cThree months ago, I married the love of my life, Rama, at the City Clerk\u2019s office,\u201d he sweetly captioned his tribute.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cRama isn\u2019t just my wife, she\u2019s an incredible artist who deserves to be known on her own terms.\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019s from Syria and is based in Brooklyn<\/p>\n

Originally from Damascus, Syria, Rama now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She holds a BFA in communication design from Virginia Commonwealth University, according to her artist bio with L\u2019AiR Arts<\/a>. During the pandemic, she spent time living in Dubai with her family before eventually making the move to New York around 2021.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s a visual artist with an impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9<\/p>\n

Rama works as an illustrator and animator. Her client list includes The New Yorker, The Washington Post, BBC, Apple, Spotify, VICE, and the Tate Modern. One of her pieces was featured in The New Yorker<\/a> as recently as May 2025.<\/p>\n

In an April 2025 interview with Yung Mea<\/a>, she opened up about the mission behind her work: \u201cThese days, I focus on making art about my experiences and the things I care about, and the community that forms from conversations about my work \u2014 both online and in person \u2014 happens organically. I make my work for people who care about the things I care about.\u201d <\/p>\n

She added, \u201cIf it happens to engage someone or loop them into a conversation about politics or community they might not have thought of being a part of, it is an added bonus instead of the actual goal of making art.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also creates hand-built ceramics and often shares her pieces on social media.<\/p>\n

They met on Hinge!<\/p>\n

Zohran Mamdani shared during a June 2025 appearance on The Bulwark<\/a> podcast that he met Rama on the dating app Hinge. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is still hope in those dating apps,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s unclear when they officially began dating, he posted a photo taken by Rama in April 2022<\/a> and appeared to confirm their engagement in October 2024<\/a> with a ring emoji and the caption: \u201cLight of my life. \ud83d\udc8d\u201d The post also included the hashtag \u201c#hardlaunch.\u201d<\/p>\n

They tied the knot in a civil ceremony earlier this year<\/p>\n

The couple got married in early 2025 at the City Clerk\u2019s office in Manhattan. In an interview with Interview Magazine<\/a>, Zohran shared why the venue held special meaning for him: \u201cThe outside is just so beautiful and reminiscent of a different New York City, and the inside is in many ways public goods personified. All of these New Yorkers getting married at the same time at different ages and at different times in their lives, it\u2019s very beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Photographer Kara McCurdy, who captured their wedding, shared a sweet memory on social media, writing<\/a>: \u201cA few years ago, Zohran and I went for a run to catch up after spending a few weeks apart. About a mile in, Zohran told me \u2018I think I\u2019m gonna marry this woman,\u2019 and I knew he really meant it.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the campaign, the couple also celebrated<\/a> their engagement with a small ceremony in Dubai in 2024, where Rama\u2019s family lives.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s proud of her husband \u2013 and vocal about it<\/p>\n

After he delivered his speech on June 24 celebrating his lead in the primary (which will be officially confirmed in July through ranked choice voting), he was joined at the podium by Rama, who smiled as he kissed her hand and cheek in front of supporters.<\/p>\n

She later shared a sweet black-and-white photobooth strip on Instagram<\/a>, writing, \u201ccouldn\u2019t possibly be prouder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier that month, he spoke out in defense<\/a> of his wife after she received attention from critics during the race. \u201cNow, right-wing trolls are trying to make this race \u2014 which should be about you \u2014 about her,\u201d he wrote on Instagram. \u201cRama isn\u2019t just my wife, she\u2019s an incredible artist who deserves to be known on her own terms. You can critique my views, but not my family.\u201d<\/p>\n
