"Her face looks familiar"— Love is Blind Habibi star Chafic on recognizing Nour

Love is Blind Habibi premiered on Netflix on October 10. The reality show flew across nations to help Arabian singles find the love that looked past the physical appearance of a person.

Chafic and Dounia were one of the couples who got engaged after forming a bond inside the pods. They joined their fellow engaged couple on their holiday trip to gather a better understanding of their respective partner.

In episode 4, on the first day of the holiday trip, as the couples were greeting each other, Chafic recognized Nour upon her arrival. He then informed Dounia that he might know Nour from Instagram, where they had exchanged messages in the past. When Dounia asked him if Nour recognized him, the Love is Blind Habibi star responded:

"I don't know. It was a long time ago. I don't know if it's her or not, but her face looks familiar, you see?"

Love is Blind Habibi star Chafic opens up about his past with Nour

At the end of Love is Blind Habibi episode 4, the cast reunited for the first day of their holiday trip. The couples warmly greeted each other, and for the first time outside the pods, the men and women had the chance to meet face-to-face.

Upon Nour's arrival alongside Mido, Chafic felt that she greeted "all the guys and girls" except for him. While he was bugged by it, he recognized the model and informed his Love is Blind Habibi fiancée about it.

Chafic pulled Dounia from the group discussion and told her that he knew Nour from outside the reality show. He shared that the two messaged each other on Instagram. However, the exchange took place a long time ago, and he doesn't remember it anymore.

"I want to explain something. That girl over there, I think ... Nour. We messaged each other on Instagram long ago. It happened a long time ago. I don't remember anymore," Chafic told Dounia.

The Love is Blind Habibi star went on to tell his fiancée that Nour hadn't greeted him upon arrival, and he, in turn, chose not to greet her either. However, he was puzzled by Nour’s behavior and wondered if it had something to do with the connection they had built in the pods. He speculated that she might have avoided acknowledging him because their relationship didn’t work out.

Chafic took the matter to the men, where he told Mido that he was much better than his Love is Blind fiancee Nour. Explaining his statement, he added:

"I feel she's too much, because the way she comes, she says hi to everyone. She didn't give me a hand. For me, disrespectful. It's impolite, it's rude. You got my point? You are not ... We are not kids."

Chafic expressed in his confessional that Nour was "too much." She didn't sit next to Mido and left him every ten minutes. While he didn't want to speak badly about the model, he felt that the couple was "not matching."

Later, the entrepreneur pulled Nour aside for a chat and confronted her about not greeting him. Chafic asked the model why she had shaken hands with everyone except him. Nour responded that she believed she had greeted everyone and that it wasn't her intention to ignore him.

Nour then mentioned to Chafic that he looked familiar and suggested they might have met somewhere before the show. Chafic reminded her that they had likely connected on Instagram in the past.
