Syrian singer Asalah Nasri and husband director Tareq Al Arian are going to have their first child.
The day she discovered her pregnancy was one of happiest in her life, said Asalah.
Recent rumors claimed that the couple, married almost one year, had already divorced.
Asalah asserted that her relationship with Tareq is based on true love and mutual respect. She will not allow vicious rumors to interfere in her private life, said Asalah, adding that the tabloids were published intentionally to hurt her.
‘Rotana’ released Asalah’s latest album “Hayati” (My Life), her second release with the company, while Lebanon was at war with Israel last summer.
Asalah tried to convince ‘Rotana’ to postpone the release, arguing it was inappropriate while so many Lebanese civilians were dying from the Israeli offensive. Most music production companies in the Arab World postponed the release of albums during the war.
The feature song “Hayati,” takes listeners through Asalah’s life’s journey. The album is her life transformed into music, said Asalah.
Asalah dedicated the song “Bain Eidaik” (In Your Arms) to her husband Tareq.
The album is Asalah’s first releases after divorcing her ex-husband Aiman Al Thahabi.
Rumors began circulating that Asalah's ex-husband filed a lawsuit against her demanding that she pay a US$5 million fine for breaking their contract.
Aiman claims Asalah signed a contract with him when they were married, giving him exclusive rights to her music. Asalah denied a contract existed and continues to characterize him as a bitter ex-husband.
