  • Taim Hassan and Wafaa El Kilani Divorce After “Prediction” Sparks Rumors

    Taim Hassan and Wafaa El Kilani Divorce After “Prediction” Sparks Rumors

    Digital Phablet – Egyptian media personality Wafaa El Kilani has separated from her husband, Syrian actor Taim Hassan, after nine years of marriage, reportedly due to a prediction made by an expert.

    This news has caused a stir across social media platforms, particularly because neither party has issued an official statement confirming the breakup. The couple, which married in May 2017, has long been subjected to rumors regarding their separation.

    It’s important to clarify that these reports are based on “forecasts,” with no official confirmation from either side. Despite speculation, Wafaa El Kilani has consistently handled such rumors with calm confidence, emphasizing that her personal life remains private and that her marriage remains strong despite the rumors.

    Earlier, during the Joy Awards 2025, Kilani addressed the rumors, explaining that Hassan was absent due to work commitments. In another interview at the Arab Media Forum, she reaffirmed that their relationship continues to thrive, grounded in mutual understanding and support, and expressed her unwavering dedication to their partnership.

    Their frequent appearances together at charitable and public events support a picture of a close-knit duo. For instance, they appeared side-by-side at the funeral of filmmaker Hatem Ali, a moment that reflected their genuine bond, far from the realm of rumors.

    Since their marriage, Hassan and Kilani have exemplified a couple who value their privacy and are committed to balancing their professional and personal lives away from the public eye.

    Wafaa Kilani has two children, Judy and Ryan, from her first marriage to Lebanese Tony Mikhail. She married Taim Hassan in 2017, but they have not had children together yet. Hassan has two sons, Ward and Fahd, from his previous marriage to artist Dima Bayaa.

  • Satif the Blind Star Maan Abdel Haq Arrested in Damascus — Why

    Satif the Blind Star Maan Abdel Haq Arrested in Damascus — Why

    Digital Phablet – Syrian security forces have detained actor Maan Abdel Haq, widely recognized for his portrayal of “Satif the Blind” in the popular TV series “Bab Al-Hara,” on Tuesday.

    Reports from Syria TV and the Syria Now platform indicated that Abdel Haq was taken into custody in Damascus.

    Maan Abdel Haq is known for publicly supporting Bashar al-Assad’s toppled regime.

    In “Bab Al-Hara,” Abdel Haq portrayed “Satif the Blind,” a character who spied for the French occupation against the Syrian resistance. He assassinated “the leader” and several other community residents before being captured and avenged by Colonel Abu Shahab and the neighborhood’s young men.

    About a month ago, social media outlets circulated false reports claiming that Abdel Haq’s body was found at his home in the Netherlands; these claims were later disproven.

    Furthermore, there was significant coverage alleging that Abdel Haq’s arrest was part of specific security measures, and he remains under investigation. The entertainment and media communities are eagerly awaiting clarification from the authorities regarding the motives behind this detention.

    Notably, Abdel Haq’s political stances—particularly his outspoken support for the Syrian regime—have stirred controversy, leading to backlash from various segments of the public and criticism from peers. Rumors of his death in the Netherlands circulated on social media around a month ago, only to be proved false.

    Maan Abdel Haq is a prominent figure in Syrian drama, his most renowned role being the “Satif the Blind” in “Bab Al-Hara,” where he played a spy working against the resistance for the French.

    It’s worth mentioning that Abdel Haq’s outspoken political views have made him a polarizing figure in recent years.

    He is known for his role in the acclaimed series, Zaman Al Barghout, which aired for two seasons alongside some of Syria’s most notable stars.
