“I have something special” — When Dubai Bling’s Ebraheem Al Samadi opened up about his then-wife Hamda

Fans of Dubai Bling witnessed Ebraheem Al Samadi marrying his third wife, Hamda Al Hamly, during season two, which premiered on December 13, 2023. However, only brief snippets of their wedding ceremony were featured, and Hamda did not join the cast of the reality series.

It was revealed in season 3, which premiered on January 8, 2025, that things didn't work out between the two. However, the former couple had a good relationship during earlier stages.

In an interview with Grazia on January 9, 2024, a year before this split revelation, Ebraheem had opened up about his then-marriage with Hamda. At the time, the Dubai Bling star shared that their relationship was filled with "ups and downs" and "plus and minuses" like every other relationship.

He further explained that many people had asked why his wife wasn't featured on the reality series. He clarified that she came from a conservative family background that values privacy and prefers to keep their personal life out of the public eye.

“A lot of people ask me, ‘Why didn’t we get to see her in Dubai Bling?’, and what people don’t understand is that in this part of the world, there are a lot of families who are very conservative. It’s actually what made me attracted to her,” he added.

The Dubai Bling star then added that he was surrounded by influencers who were always in the spotlight, and seeing someone who wasn't concerned with such attention stood out to him. This made him admire his then-wife, who didn't care about materialistic things or about showcasing her possessions to the world.

“I have something special,” he remarked.

The initial season 3 episodes of Dubai Bling hinted that Ebraheem Al Samadi was still married to his third wife, Hamda Al Hamly. However, as the season unfolded, it was revealed that things weren't good between the couple.

After the season premiere, Ebraheem appeared on the January 10, 2025, episode of Mr Thank You podcast and explained why he and his wife decided to get a divorce. He revealed that his marriage to his third wife, Hamda, lasted a year before they split, admitting that "being a celebrity and married is not easy."

Ebraheem explained that he and his wife came from different walks of life, where he was a celebrity, and they had "very different ways of seeing the world." He noted that they were in different places and didn't want to stress each other because of it. Hence, they decided to get a divorce.

“She’s an amazing woman, but not everyone is meant to stay in your life forever,” the Dubai Bling star concluded.
