Early and personal life

Dhabitah was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Sabri Hashim and Fazidah Jaafar. She is the youngest among four siblings. Initially, she started her aquatic exposure through swimming clubs. After several competitions, her father decided to switch her into diving due to her small body physique. She learned swimming and diving together with her older brother, Muhammad Danial Sabri. Both of them were planning to debut internationally together but were unable due to Danial's traumatic physical injury sustained before the debut. She occasionally practices and delves into extreme sport such as parkour and trampoline as a hobby. Dhabitah is currently pursuing her studies in the Bachelor of Media Communication at the National University of Malaysia. [2]

Dhabitah was previously in a relationship with Malaysian footballer Azhar Apandi, which ended in 2021. [3] She married Malaysian actor Mohammad Aizat bin Ahmad Nazri, who is also known as Jiggy Masin, on 28 April 2023. [4] [5]
