Shaima Saeed and Ismail Al-Leithy separate after ten years of marriage.

After nearly a decade of marriage and children, beauty expert Shaima Saeed announced her official separation from her husband, popular singer Ismail El-Leithy. The announcement followed a period of public tension and family issues, most notably accusations of violence and theft, which sparked widespread engagement on social media, especially given Shaima's reliance on TikTok to disclose details of the crisis.

Divorce announced on TikTok

In a live broadcast, Shaima Saeed confirmed the end of her relationship with Al-Laithi, noting that the divorce papers are on their way to being legally finalized. She explained that she and her two daughters moved into the family home after being subjected to what she described as a violent assault. She added, "I will not allow another man to enter my life again," in a stark expression of the extent of the suffering she has endured over the past years.

Accusations of witchcraft and theft of gold and money

Shaima appeared in several videos in a state of collapse, implicitly accusing Al-Laithi of taking her money, jewelry, and car keys without her knowledge. She also spoke of the existence of “witchcraft” that she said was the reason for the destruction of her married life, asserting that parties intervened to sabotage her relationship with her husband. She said, “I woke up to find that he had taken my daughters and stolen everything… I have endured this for 10 years and I am unable to continue.”

A previous tragedy in Al-Laithi's life

The separation brought back memories of the tragedy Ismail Al-Leithy experienced months earlier, when he announced the death of his son, Reda, following a tragic fall from a balcony. Al-Leithy wrote on Facebook at the time: “My son and my lifelong friend has passed away,” and received condolences from popular music stars, most notably Hamo Beka. According to those close to him, the incident had a profound psychological impact on Al-Leithy.

From Imbaba's celebrations to the spotlight

Ismail El Leithy belongs to a new generation of popular singers, starting out at Imbaba weddings before rocketing to fame with songs like "Gedo Nahnouh" and "Antar and Bessa." Despite his humble beginnings, he received early artistic support, joining the Cairo Opera House as a child on the recommendation of maestro Salim Sahab. Despite his artistic success, his personal life appears to have been marred by severe challenges that have recently impacted his family life.
