On November 1, 2024, the much-anticipated reunion special of Love is Blind: Habibi premiered, drawing back several key participants from the unique Arab adaptation of the Netflix social experiment. This engaging segment focused on recounting memorable moments from the season and discussing the lives of cast members post-filming.
The reunion featured participants such as Chafic, Nour, Dounia, and Simo, who had a notably tense encounter during episode four while on vacation. For those unfamiliar, an altercation erupted between Chafic and Simo after Simo informed Chafic’s fiancée, Dounia, about his previous acquaintance with Nour.
During the reunion, Simo took the opportunity to express remorse for his earlier actions, describing them as “bad behavior.”Following his apology, the two embraced, demonstrating their reconciliation.
“I love you,”Simo declared.
Revisiting Tensions: Simo and Chafic’s Journey
As the reunion proceeded, the footage of their on-screen dispute was aired, prompting Chafic to jokingly question the nature of their argument. Simo’s heartfelt apology marked a turning point, suggesting that their relationship had transformed into one of mutual respect and support. With laughter in the air, the two shared a hug, to which Nour remarked to Hajar that the moment seemed “so fake.”Khatab chimed in with humor, asking someone to provide a translation, recognizing their exchange had happened in French.
Chafic then announced their shift to English, repeating Simo’s sentiments: “It’s all love.”Simo reciprocated, emphasizing their strengthened connection, stating they were bonded for “life” and nothing could “touch” their friendship. The rest of the cast applauded this display of unity.
“At the end of the journey, we gained each other; we are a family,”said Simo.
The host commended the cast, expressing heartfelt blessings towards them. As discussions continued, cast members took turns to offer apologies; Mido, for example, expressed regret over being too harsh with Nour, claiming he hadn’t fully conveyed his feelings and was disappointed in himself.
“I spoke inappropriately; I was hurt,”Mido confessed.
Nour praised the act of apologizing as a display of bravery, recognizing it is often easier to inflict pain than to seek forgiveness. Accepting Mido’s apology, the two participants shook hands, symbolizing their renewed understanding.
Chafic also extended an apology to the hosts for raising his voice, while his fiancée, Dounia, acknowledged her “overreaction”and expressed regret towards their fellow cast members.
With humor, Mohammed playfully apologized for monopolizing Safa’s attention without offering opportunities to other contestants. Adding to the light-hearted atmosphere, Khatab sought to clarify his intentions, denying any claims of being a “womanizer,”attributing his compliments to the female cast members simply enjoying their names.
Nour humorously stated that she felt left out as Khatab hadn’t acknowledged the charm of her name. Khatab rebutted that their interactions had been minimal, prompting Hajar to commend him, declaring he had the best personality among the male participants.
“He was my number one, to be honest,”she added.
