After two years of marriage, Egypt’s most famous couple parted ways. It was a shock to Egyptian society because, as we all know, they always seemed like a happy and lovey-dovey couple. Both celebs didn't give details on the reasons behind the breakup and wished each other well on talk shows. And after months, the separated couple re-followed each other on Instagram and were spotted in the same places. Rumours about their reunion are still floating around, but nothing is set in stone.

We have seen many relationship updates and statements regarding this couple for two years. And after each made a controversial statement about the other, it seemed like the pair would never get back together. However, the famed Sherine Abdel-Wahab phoned Amr Adeeb’s talk show to state that they are happily back together, and she even shared her Katb Ketab pictures live on the show’s episode. People weren’t exactly satisfied with the reunion and labelled the relationship as toxic.

The successful influencer and entrepreneur Hadia Ghaleb was the centre of attention all summer after launching a burkini swimwear brand. The business boomed quickly, and people were happier with the collections. Celebrities wore her swimsuits in almost all their North Coast beach pictures. This was a social breakthrough, not only because the designs were stunning but also because hijabis suffered a great deal of criticism for wearing burkinis on ‘elite’ beaches. So, it’s fair to say that Hadia Ghaleb did Egyptian society a great justice!

The rapper also performed in Qatar’s World Cup and had international concerts.
