As a result, she attended the Carlton le Willows in Nottinghamshire, where she studied drama.

Who is Zara Phythian's husband?
Zara's husband is Victor Marke; they were in a long relationship before settling down as husband and wife in 2015. But then, Victor had married before. His wife was Juliet, but they divorced after the wife discovered that her husband was cheating on her with his martial arts student.
When Phythian was a teenager, Victor tutored her in martial arts before they went from having just a student-teacher relationship to a lovers' affair.
Zara Phythian's net worth
According to Trend New Buzz's website, the English-born actress and entrepreneur's net worth is $9 million, although some websites say the contrary.
What did Zara Phythian do?
Zara has been in the news with her husband over allegations of s*xual abuse. It was reported that a lady who is now in her 20s was abused when she was 13 years old, which lasted for three years. In early May 2022, the couple was found guilty.
As a result of this, Marke was sentenced to four years for personally abusing the girl and another 10 years for abusing the second victim alongside Phythian. Similarly, Phythian had a jail time of eight years for partaking in the abuse of the second victim.
Social media presence
The celebrity martial artist's name on social media platforms does not show that she has accounts registered as of 18th May 2022. Zara Phythian's Instagram account does not exist at the moment.
Zara Phythian's Twitter mentions have been those made by people calling her out for the s*xual assault case against her and media houses giving court proceedings reports.
Zara Phythian used to have her name mentioned alongside lofty achievements, but things have been looking rather dim for her in the past few weeks, no thanks to the s*xual assault case against her and her husband, Victor Marke.
