In an unexpected move shrouded in secrecy and complete privacy, Lebanese star Abdo Shahin, one of the prominent pillars of the famous series “Al Hayba,” surprised the artistic circles and the public by officially stepping into the golden cage away from the hustle and bustle of social media platforms and camera lenses, announcing his marriage to the young Syrian girl Haya Youssef, in a quiet wedding ceremony that was strictly limited to the presence of the two families and very close friends.
Abdo Shahin revealed the behind-the-scenes of this happy and surprising engagement to the public, indicating that the official wedding ceremony took place in a warm family atmosphere about three months ago, specifically after the end of the last Ramadan drama season of 2026.
The roots of the love story and engagement between the couple go back to the behind-the-scenes of work; where the young bride Haya Youssef belongs to the artistic and media field, and was an essential part of the directing team for one of the largest and most successful dramatic productions, the series “Al Khuruj Ila Al Bi’r,” which was written by the great Syrian screenwriter Samar Rawdan and directed by Mohamed Lotfi, and produced by “Metafora,” achieving widespread public and critical resonance during its airing period.
Shahin confirmed that his choice of engagement away from the spotlight has several reasons, the most notable of which are the dire circumstances his country is going through.
