Ebraheem Al Samadi’s wife is the jewel of his life.
The Dubai Bling star and Forever Rose entrepreneur has been married to his wife, Hamdah, since March 2023. Unlike Ebraheem, his wife leads an extremely private life. A month after their wedding, he explained on Instagram that Hamdah keeps her life secluded due to cultural beliefs.
“This is her right to remain private as this is the culture of her family and of many families in the Middle East and Islamic world,” he wrote.
Though their relationship unfolds off of Dubai Bling, which premiered its third season on Jan. 8, Ebraheem has said that he and Hamdah have a strong marriage. He told Masala! in May 2023 that before pursuing a romantic relationship, it was important for them to have a foundation built on friendship.
“I believe in the importance of continually maintaining a strong friendship with my wife,” Ebraheem said. “There is a deep level of comfort and trust between us, allowing us to be completely ourselves.”
So who is Ebraheem Al Samadi’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Hamdah and her relationship with the reality star and entrepreneur.
They got married in 2023
Ebraheem and Hamdah married in March 2023 with a ceremony in Abu Dhabi. Their wedding was an important storyline during Dubai Bling season 2, and many of his costars were in attendance.
In a May 2023 interview with Masala!, the Kuwaiti-American businessman said he was “committed to sparing no expense” for the extravagant event which totaled $2 million Dirhams, equivalent to over half a million U.S. dollars. His goal was to keep Hamdah “stress-free” leading up to the wedding, so he handled the “whirlwind of design and setup planning.”
“My wife, bless her heart, tends to get anxious,” he said. “She trusted me blindly and handed the reins over to me. So, my team and I took charge, handling everything from start to finish.”
Ebraheem had one simple goal for the ceremony: “to create the most beautiful wedding possible for my wife.”
White Seasons Events aided in the planning department while he tapped his own business, Forever Rose, to decorate the venue. Ebraheem and Hamdah planned their wedding in “just three weeks.” which he said was “intense, but certainly worth it!”
She has a private life
The Forever Rose CEO lives his life in the public eye, but Hamdah does not. While Ebraheem has been a main cast member in Dubai Bling, his wife has never been featured on the show.
Ebraheem said he respects his wife’s “right to remain private” on Instagram in April 2023 along with a few pictures of the couple with roses masking their faces. In the caption, he explained that privacy is a significant part of her culture.
“In the past month I’ve been getting an enormous amount of requests to share full images of my wife, I find this very disrespectful,” he wrote. “It was my choice for me to be in the public’s eye. As for her she wants to remain private.”
Their wedding went viral
While footage of Ebraheem and Hamdah’s ceremony was televised on Dubai Bling, their wedding went viral long before season 2 of the reality series was released on Netflix — the couple wed in March 2023, almost a year before the season came out in December.
Ebraheem told Masala! that he woke up the morning after their nuptials “to discover that our wedding had made headlines on every news outlet.”
Even though they filmed pieces of the special day, the reality star wasn’t anticipating the event to garner press in the moment. Ebraheem was taken aback by the “deluge of compliments” about the wedding, but he was most concerned about maintaining Hamdah’s privacy.
“My primary concern was ensuring that none of the photos featuring my wife were circulated,” said Ebraheem. “She comes from a rather conservative family and prefers to avoid media attention.”
Ebraheem says Hamdah is his “perfect match”
Before becoming spouses, Ebraheem and Hamdah prioritized establishing a friendship. He told Masala! that his wife “leans towards privacy and discretion,” while he’s admittedly “more outgoing.” Ebraheem said that their relationship is proof that “opposites attract,” and added that their differences are what make them a “perfect match.”
“My wife and I are somewhat opposite in nature,” he said. “Despite our differences, we share many similarities, one of which is our sense of humor.”
Above all, Ebraheem is proud of their marriage which was built on spending “time together laughing and simply enjoying each other’s company.”
“I believe in the importance of continually maintaining a strong friendship with my wife,” Ebraheem said. “This friendship is what sets our relationship apart and makes it truly special. We can openly communicate with each other, without any boundaries or hesitations.”
Ebraheem was married twice before
Before he found love with Hamdah, Ebraheem was married twice. On Hikmat Wehbi’s podcast in 2023, the entrepreneur said he came from a conservative family where getting wed young was the norm.
At 17, Ebraheem’s family heard he was seen with a girl and his father encouraged him to get married.
“He said that if I loved her and wanted her, I had to marry her,” Ebraheem said. He wed his first wife in a ceremony in Morocco, and returned to the United States when they began fighting “over the silliest thing possible.”
“At that time, I was stubborn,” Ebraheem said of his first marriage. “Through life, I learnt that life is about give and take and we have to waver sometimes.”
Ebraheem married and divorced once more before his third wedding and said on the podcast that he’s thankful for his past relationships, which led him to his now-wife, Hamdah.
“I’ve been through enough experiences that I think I’ve made the right choice,” he added.
