Following their separation, Nasr and his family reportedly restricted her access to their daughter. Citing traditional customs where paternal custody is often granted without legal proceedings, Haifa has stated that contact with her daughter became impossible. Over time, she ceased mentioning her daughter publicly, acknowledging the difficulty in maintaining or restoring their relationship.

Engagement and Marriage to Tariq Al-Jaffali

In 2005, Haifa Wehbe became engaged to Saudi businessman Tariq Al-Jaffali. However, the engagement was short-lived, and the couple announced their separation just weeks later, citing personal and family-related reasons.

Marriage to Ahmad Abu Hashima

In 2009, Haifa married Egyptian businessman Ahmad Abu Hashima. The couple initially appeared united, but in 2012, they announced their divorce. While the official statement described the separation as mutual and amicable, reports later emerged suggesting that political and financial complications played a role. Abu Hashima was planning to enter politics in Egypt, and his marriage to a high-profile pop singer was said to be perceived as a disadvantage by some within the political sphere.

Additionally, it was speculated that societal expectations and family disapproval contributed to the separation. Though publicly both parties downplayed the reasons for their divorce, with Abu Hashima stressing the absence of infidelity or scandal, media reports continued to circulate, prompting him to threaten legal action against the spread of rumors.
