    Putting the rumours to rest
    The couple, known for their comedic videos and dynamic chemistry, had amassed a substantial following of 3.8 million subscribers, becoming icons of relationship goals on social media.
    Speculation about their relationship began when the pair ceased posting content for over a year, and their joint social media account disappeared.
    Khalid Al Ameri’s engagement
    The rumors intensified when Khalid Al Ameri recently posted a black and white photo, suggesting he had moved on and was engaged. The photograph, showing him holding his new fiancée’s hand, was captioned “Alhumdulilah,” meaning “thank God” in Arabic.
    When did it end?
    Salama confirmed that the divorce was finalized on February 14th of this year, putting to rest the swirling rumors. The interview offered a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery and resilience after the end of her marriage.
    Life after divorce
    In her heartfelt conversation, Salama shared insights into her life post-divorce. She spoke candidly about finding independence for the first time in her life. “For the first time, Salama’s life wasn’t dependent on anyone,” she said. “Before marriage, I was dependent on my family. After marriage, I was dependent on my husband. But now as an independent person, it’s the first time that I know Salama.”
    Fans are eagerly awaiting the second part of the interview, which has yet to be scheduled for release. The first part of this revealing conversation can be watched on NourAldin Alyousuf’s channel.
