Netflix’s ‘Love Is Blind’ is a dating reality series that will keep you captivated. It welcomes several young men and women to participate in a unique social experiment to help them find the person they are looking for. To foster better emotional connections, the participants are allowed to date several prospective partners through a specially constructed pod, allowing two people to communicate without seeing each other.
After a marriage proposal is extended and accepted, the engaged couple is allowed to meet in person. The pairs have limited time to prepare for their wedding and get to know their partners better. The third season of the series welcomed several new faces, including Zanab Jaffrey, who became a prominent part of the show. Naturally, fans are curious to know as much as possible about the reality TV star, and we are here to help with the same!
Zanab Jaffrey: A UK Born With South Asian Ethnicity
Born in Irvine, Scotland, on March 31, 1990, Zanab Jaffrey can trace her roots back to Pakistan. When she was in the 5th grade, she and her family moved to the US, where she grew up in the Dallas–Fort Worth Area. Zanab has a sister who is eight years older than her and lives in England. The reality star’s parents divorced when she was young, and at 13, she lost her father after a waterskiing trip in Lake Worth.
Zanab’s father went back on the boat and complained about pain in his back; though the medical help arrived to treat him and took him to the hospital, he ultimately passed away. From that point, her legal custody was transferred to her stepmother Beverly, whom she adores. Zanab has known her from the age of eight and helped raise her. Through Beverly, she has a stepbrother named Ryan.
At 18, the reality star sadly lost her mother to brain tumors- while the growth had been benign and not cancerous, the tumors did not respond to chemotherapy and kept growing, leading to her demise.
In 2008, Zanab joined Tarrant County College and completed her Associate of Arts degree in General Studies in 2011. While there, she was also part of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. From 2012 to 2014, Zanab studied at the University of Texas at Arlington and got her Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude with an emphasis on Public Relations/Image Management.
