"Very disrespectful" — When Dubai Bling star Ebraheem Al Samadi responded to fans asking about his wife

Dubai Bling star Ebraheem Al Samadi faced mounting requests to share photos of his wife Hamdah following their March 2023 wedding in Abu Dhabi. In April 2023, Al Samadi shared a detailed message on Instagram addressing the increasing requests for his wife's photos.

"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 because 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. It was my choice for me to be in the public’s eye. As for her, she wants to remain private." Al Samadi wrote.

The Instagram post featured images of the Dubai Bling couple with their faces hidden by roses. However, Al Samadi announced their divorce on the Mr Thank You podcast, which was posted on January 10, 2025.

The Dubai Bling couple celebrated their wedding ceremony in Abu Dhabi in March 2023, with expenses reaching 2 million Dirhams, equivalent to approximately $544,580, as per People. White Seasons Events managed the entire planning process, while Al Samadi's company, Forever Rose, took charge of the decorations.

Al Samadi demonstrated his commitment to maintaining his wife's privacy during the wedding preparations. He handled the planning details personally, showing consideration for his wife's preference to stay away from public attention.

The marriage to Hamdah marked Al Samadi's third marital relationship. His first marriage took place in Morocco when he was 17 years old, as per People. His second marriage happened at age 26, and both ended in divorce. His third wife, Hamdah, belongs to the Al Hamly family, a respected Emirati household known for their business ventures in the region.

Throughout their marriage, the couple maintained separate residences in different cities. Despite Al Samadi's prominent role in Dubai Bling, his wife never made an appearance on the show. This decision aligned with her family's traditional values and her personal choice to stay away from media attention.

Recent developments

The January 8, 2025, release of Dubai Bling season 3 brought new information about their relationship. During the season, Al Samadi shared private conversations with his mother about changes in his marriage. These discussions revealed his concerns about the relationship's direction and his wife's response to his efforts.

The show captured Al Samadi expressing worry about their relationship's future. His mother advised him to try resolving issues before making major decisions. These intimate conversations provided context for later developments in their relationship.

The final confirmation of their separation came through Al Samadi's appearance on the Mr Thank You podcast, where he announced their divorce.

"So I was married for a year and I just got divorced, but I could not announce it before Dubai Bling January 8th. We have to keep things for the show because I announced it on the show. What people don't understand is that being a celebrity and being married is not easy because my wife is not a celebrity, so we have different thinking.”

The Dubai Bling star continued:

“I'm not saying my wife's not an amazing person, I love her a lot, but not everyone you love you can continue your life with. We're in different places and I don't want to stress her and I don't want to be stressed, so I think the best was just to find our ways."

During this same appearance, he also revealed information about his upcoming project, a new show titled Habibi Ebraheem.
