In news that caused a great stir in Egyptian and Arab media circles, press reports confirmed the official separation of prominent media figure Amr Adib from his wife, the esteemed media figure Lamis El Hadidi , thus bringing to a close a marriage that lasted for more than 25 years, during which their relationship was a model of family stability and shared professional success.
This surprising news came just days after the couple appeared together at their only son Nour El-Din's engagement party, a private family affair attended by relatives, close friends, and several media personalities. The couple appeared warm and united during the event, reflecting their clear desire to maintain a respectful and friendly relationship, cherishing their long history together and prioritizing their son's well-being, while avoiding any public disagreements.
A distinguished career and a huge media influence
The news of Amr Adib and Lamis El Hadidi's separation cannot be dismissed as a mere social event; it is a significant event affecting two of the most prominent figures in Arab television. The couple married in 1999 and together formed what could be described as the "most powerful duo" in the Arab satellite television market. For over two decades, Amr Adib reigned supreme in the realm of evening talk shows, from his pioneering experience with "Cairo Today" to his current program "Al-Hekaya" on MBC Egypt, where he became known for his unique style and ability to attract millions of viewers.
In contrast, Lamis El-Hadidy has carved her name in gold through programs of in-depth analytical, economic, and political nature, moving between major Egyptian channels, and currently presenting the program "Kalema Akhira" (The Final Word). El-Hadidy is distinguished by her high professionalism and ability to manage heated discussions, making her a familiar and trusted figure among Egyptian families.
The end of an era and the beginning of a friendship
This separation marks the end of an era in which the names of Adeeb and Al-Hadidi were inextricably linked in the public consciousness, not only as a couple but also as professional colleagues who sometimes competed but always remained supportive of one another. Sources close to the couple indicate that the separation was agreed upon with utmost discretion and grace, reflecting the social and cultural standing of both parties, while emphasizing their continued friendship as partners in raising their son and continuing their humanitarian work.
