The couple, married under Islamic rites in March 2013, have endured a turbulent relationship in recent years, marked by mutual accusations of infidelity and domestic violence. Their long-standing issues eventually became public, culminating in a divorce petition to formalise their separation. At the onset of their divorce battle, Professor Kateregga accused Shubaiha of domestic abuse, including alleged attempts to poison him. He also claimed that she was trying to seize control of his business empire, particularly Kampala University.
