Ahmed Fahmy and Amira Farag separate after 24 years

Retired Egyptian actress Amira Farag has officially announced her separation from her husband, actor Ahmed Fahmy , ending a marriage that lasted for nearly a quarter of a century.

Amira Farag announces the end of her 24-year marriage The news sparked widespread interest, especially since the couple's relationship began at a young age and eventually evolved into one of the most famous and quiet artistic marriages in the Egyptian artistic community.

Amicable separation after years of love and understanding Farag explained that the separation was conducted with respect and calm, without any public disagreements or disputes. Their relationship began at the Cairo Opera House, when she was a 17-year-old student, when she met Ahmed Fahmy, who was 19 and playing the violin in the Wama band. After a four-year engagement, they married and had two children: Omar and Hassan. Later, Amira made the difficult decision to retire from acting to devote herself to her family.

Messages exchanged silently... and talk of emotional exhaustion In her first comment after the breakup, Farag posted a telling Instagram post: “Even good people sometimes get tired of always being good.” The post garnered widespread interaction, with many interpreting it as expressing long-standing, pressured feelings.

In contrast, Ahmed Fahmy's response was calmer and more concise, writing in English: "Every day is a new beginning... Forget what happened and think about the future."

Past disputes and personal decisions away from the spotlight Farag has previously spoken on television about their respective personalities, noting that her stubbornness and Ahmed Fahmy's temper were the main reasons for most of their disagreements. However, she has emphasized on more than one occasion that Fahmy did not prevent her from singing, and that her decisions stemmed from her personal desire to preserve the family. Today, with the relationship officially over, the two parties maintain a tone of mutual respect, leaving the details behind closed doors.
