Despite the spread of the Coronavirus leading up to the social distancing campaigns and eventually a global lockdown, that didn’t stop a number of Egyptian celebrities from getting engaged/married and fighting the pandemic with romance.
Here are 11 celebrity couples who decided not to give in to 2020!
#1 Yasmine Sabri and Ahmed Abo Hashima
Rumors of their engagement started around February when a diamond ring was spotted by social media users and went viral from Sabry’s Instagram stories.
Shortly after, the actress and the renowned businessman tied the knot on April 17 at their home in the presence of their families and a few close friends.
#2 Yasmine Abd El Aziz and Ahmed El-Awady
It’s noteworthy that their relationship was mostly revealed shortly after Yasmine Abd El Aziz’s brother basically bashed the couple on social media and made accusations about the nature of their relationship. That being said, let’s not forget the public exchange of romantic comments on Instagram that hinted at their not so secret love story.
It was all really confirmed when El-Awady changed his social status from ‘single’ to ‘married’ on his personal Facebook account – leading up to the official news about their marriage.
#3 Randa Riad and Mohamed El-Sharnouby
At the end of June, actor and singer Mohamed El-Sharnouby tied the knot with his one-year fiancée and professional artist manager Randa Riad at her family’s house in the presence of their relatives and friends.
It’s worth mentioning that both of them showed commitment toward social distancing and precautionary measures due to the pandemic outbreak. Safety before the happily ever after, right?
#4 Ghada Abdel Razek and Haitham Zeneita
Ghada Abd El Razik and her television series’ Director of Photography Haitham Zeneita were already under the spotlight for having a secret relationship back in 2012 when they both worked together in “Hekayet Haya”.
Years later, the actress got married for the 12th time, this time to Zeneita. They celebrated their marriage at the shooting location of her Ramadan 2020 series “Sultanat Al Moez” and spent the honeymoon at the North Coast with their family members away from Cairo’s traffic and curfews.
#5 Hanady Mehanna and Ahmed Khaled Saleh
Can’t deny it, but those two were one of our favorite couples this year! Their love story is so sweet and they couldn’t be a better match for each other. Also, their wedding looked pretty awesome.
#6 Amina Khalil and Omar Taha
The actress’s cute engagement photos went viral during quarantine. And we couldn’t be happier for her and her future hubby. Can’t wait for the wedding – we’re sure it’s going to be huge!
#7 Amir Shahine and Menna Gaballah
Shahine’s marriage news was very heartwarming to many because a lot of people felt for him when his former fiancée actress Merna El-Mohandes tragically passed away. We wish him all the best and are so happy he, once again, opened his heart to love.
#8 Dorra and Hani Saad
In a beautiful star-studded ceremony that took place right after the closing of El Gouna Film Festival, Tunisian actress Dorra and Interior Designer Hani Saad tied the knot. We can’t say enough how stunning the dress was!

The singer and the beauty guru also got married this year and we can’t get enough of their love for each other and how they express it on their socials every day!
#10 Hend Abdelhalim and Karim Kandil
The “Hekayat Banat” star tied the knot in a lovely ceremony surrounded by close friends and family. We couldn’t be happier for the beautiful actress and her hubby!
#11 Mayar El-Gheity and Sherif El-Alamy
The young actress was also one of the celebs who surprised us with good news in 2020 as she tied the knot not too long ago. We wish her all the happiness in the world!
