Nour and Mido are a popular ex-couple from the hit spin-off of the original series, Love Is Blind’s Habibi edition, which was released on Netflix on October 10, 2024. Singles from Dubai and other Middle Eastern countries participated to find love. Various matches were made in the pods, and soon after meeting in real life, the now-engaged couples struggled to sustain their relationships.
A lot of fan-favorite couples succeeded in saving their relationship against all odds, while couples such as Nour El Hajj and Mohamed Gahed, aka Nour and Mido’s relationship, resulted in massive public breakups.
What happened between Nour and Mido on Love Is Blind: Habibi?
In the Pods, Nour initially wanted to choose another contestant on the show, Chafic. However, Chafic was already involved with a cast member, Dounia. Therefore, after being rejected by Chafic, Nour chose Mido, a real estate consultant.
Nour and Mido took the time to commit to each other when they started talking in the pods. Mido expressed his frustration to Nour about some participants treating the process like a competition.
Nour was impressed and told him she genuinely liked him. Nour and Mido formed a deep connection during a blind date and were dedicated to making the relationship succeed. The couple even got engaged when Mido proposed to Nour.
Nour, a professional model, wasn't impressed with Mido's physical appearance when they first met, causing a rift in their relationship. During the holiday, Nour gave Mido the cold shoulder and interacted with Chafic Yactine, her initial interest. Mido felt unheard and became fed up.
Mido decided to walk out of the social experiment without informing Nour. This move concluded that the couple had broken up when Mido left the show; he even claimed that Nour has “Zero Character.” She considered Mido’s move to be very rude. In the reunion discussion, she said,
“I believe that whatever happens, one doesn't have to ... one doesn't have to lower their standards. I have my standards,”
Nour also had to call it quits after Mido’s withdrawal from the show.
Exes Nour and Mido stuck in a reunion
During the show’s reunion, the exes Nour and Mido had to face each other, and the old drama stirred up. Mido revealed he met an Egyptian woman right after breaking up with Nour. He described her as “extremely beautiful,” which didn’t seem to sit right with Nour, leading her to express,
“He comes in ready with the script that he made up, and he's reciting it, and I'm... in another world... A mountain doesn't shake from the wind."
Conversely, Mido was not over Nour’s remarks about ‘Standards’ when he was asked about his takeaway from the show Love Is Blind: Habibi. He said,
“Love is never Blind”
