Ahmed Kamel – Egypt Daily News
Prominent Egyptian television presenters Lamis El Hadidy and Amr Adeeb have officially announced their divorce, bringing to an end a marriage that spanned more than two decades. The separation was finalized at El Hadidy’s request and took place in an atmosphere marked by mutual respect, understanding, and goodwill, according to sources close to the couple.
Despite the decision to part ways, both figures emphasized their commitment to maintaining a cordial relationship, citing the long history they share since their marriage in 1999. Observers note that the respectful nature of the separation reflects a shared desire to honor years of partnership, both personal and professional, away from public conflict or controversy.
The announcement comes shortly after a family milestone that underscored the continued unity between them as parents. In November, Adeeb and El Hadidy jointly celebrated the engagement of their son, Nour, during a small, private family gathering attended by close relatives. The occasion highlighted their shared focus on family matters despite changes in their marital relationship.
As two of Egypt’s most influential media personalities, El Hadidy and Adeeb have long attracted public attention, not only for their high-profile television careers but also for their presence in public life. Their separation has therefore drawn significant interest, though both have opted to handle the matter discreetly, avoiding public statements beyond confirming the divorce.
Sources indicate that both presenters intend to move forward professionally without disruption, continuing their respective media careers while prioritizing family stability. The manner in which the separation was handled has been widely viewed as a model of civility, particularly given their prominence in Egypt’s media landscape.
