Rumors swirl over reported relationship between actress Yasmine Sabri and Haifa Wehbe’s ex-husband

DUBAI: The Internet was set alight as pictures of Egyptian actress Yasmine Sabri posing next to businessman and entrepreneur Ahmed Abo Hashima circulated on social media, with Egyptian media reporting that the pair are now engaged.

In addition to the pair being pictured together — although the location or date could not be verified — Abo Hashima posted an Instagram story in which he can be seen holding hands with someone and it immediately sparked speculation online. He captioned it: “My love.”

Curious fans attributed the jewelry on the anonymous hands to Sabri’s, as she was spotted wearing similar accessories in a video she shared on her Instagram account in February.

Amr Adib, an Egyptian host, addressed the news on his talk show. “Everything started three months ago,” Adib said. “Ahmed met Yasmine three months ago. It was, as it was described, ‘pure coincidence, that can never be imagined.’ The details will be revealed in future episodes.”

Abo Hashima, who was previously married to Lebanese star Haifa Wehbe, also commented on Sabri’s most recent post with two heart emojis.

However, neither of the stars have confirmed or denied the rumors.

Lolo Zouai takes to Berlin’s Colors platform

DUBAI: French Algerian singer Lolo Zouai took to the Berlin-based music platform Colors this week, delivering a live performance of her latest single “Desert Rose PT.II.”

The appearance comes as the track climbed to No. 1 on Algeria’s R&B chart within 24 hours of its release. A sequel to “Desert Rose” from her 2019 debut album “High Highs to Low Lows,” the new single features lyrics in Arabic, French and English, reflecting the cross-cultural influences that shape her sound.

Zouai marked the achievement on Instagram, sharing a series of posts including a photo of herself wearing an Algeria football jersey, alongside the single’s cover art and a screenshot showing its chart ranking. 

“Grateful for the love on this one. Can’t wait for you to hear the studio version and the rest of ‘Reverie’,” she wrote.

She also reposted a collage of fan reactions, including a TikTok video that read: “It’s 2026 and we still haven’t had another song like ‘Desert Rose’ out.” Others said: “Can’t wait for Desert Rose pt. 2” and “wdym desert rose pt. 2?!?!?!”

The single forms part of her upcoming third studio album, “Reveries,” due for release on April 24. She announced the date last month alongside the music video for “Holding On,” another track from the project.

Blending R&B with dance-pop elements, “Holding On” delves into themes of grief and memory. The video is dedicated to Zouai’s close friend, Hanna Rosa Hotchkiss, who died in 2021.

In a statement on Instagram, Zouai described the album as the product of a transformative period in her life: “This record was made through three years of grief, growth, and reflection. I had to lose myself to find myself again. I couldn’t have done it without my angel, Hanna. Thank you to my collaborators, my friends, and my Lo-riders who held me down through it all. I hope it heals you the way it healed me.”

Known for her blend of R&B, club-pop and hip-hop, Zouai has gained an international fan base for her dynamic stage presence and genre-blending music.

Zouai’s last release was in November, when she dropped a new single titled “3AM in San Francisco.”
