Yahoo News Who is Loujain 'LJ' Adada from Dubai Bling?
Despite having approximately three Quality Street and £4.54 to our name, we're obsessed with Dubai Bling season 2, which follows the privileged lives of the city's elite. And as well as wanting to know more about Ebraheem's wife, fans have been wondering exactly who Loujain Adada, aka LJ, is, and what her background is like.
So here's what you need to know about her career, age, children and more.
How old is LJ?
LJ is 35 or 36. She has two daughters who she shares with her late husband called Talia and Lana, who were born in 2014 and 2016.
Sharing a tribute on Talia's 9th birthday, LJ wrote, "My special daughter Talia’s ninth birthday celebration at home 🤍 the day you were born was the most memorable and watching you grow up has been the most meaningful part of my life 🥹✨I love you both with all my heart my sunshines 🌞❤️🌹"
When Lana turned six, she added, "28 May ✨✨ A special day 🥹 I’m so Grateful to be your mommy my baby girl 🎀🙏🏻💖 Happiest birthday to my sweetest Lana 🎂🎂 thank you for making me always smile, a proud mum and for being in my life ❤️🔥"
Where is LJ from?
LJ was born in California, before relocating as a child to Lebanon. She now lives in Dubai.
What does LJ do for work?
She is a TV presenter and model, having worked on MTV's Energy Spin Magazine (which is essentially Lebanon's answer to a music TV show) from the age of 21. She booked her first advertisement as a model from the age of 14, per Reality Tidbit, but turns her attention towards waitressing in Dubai Bling season 2 in a bid to get an insight into the hospitality industry.
Who is LJ married to?
Per Grazia, Loujain married 60-year-old billionaire business man Walid Juffali when she was 25 in 2012. He fell ill with cancer shortly afterwards, and sadly passed away in 2016. Sharing a video from their wedding on Instagram at the time, LJ wrote, "God bless your soul my dear Walid💐🙏🏻 you made me the happiest girl alive and I'm ever thankful to."
He was the chairman of many privately-owned companies in Saudi Arabia, with the pair tying the knot in an extravagant ceremony in Venice, Italy. Reports suggest the nuptials cost around $10 million, with Akon singing at the event, and LJ wearing a casual $3million necklace throughout the occasion.
In season one of Dubai Blind, LJ spoke about her desire to start dating again. Fast forward to season two, and model Hasnain Lehri proposes to LJ in the season finale, calling her his "dream girl".
While it's unclear whether she says yes in the show (what a cliffhanger!) the pair have been posing up a storm on Instagram together:
What is LJ's net worth?
Her estimated net worth is reportedly between $3.8 million to $4 million, per The Cinemaholic, with LJ receiving an estimate $1.1 million from her husband's estate after his death. She also has almost 1million Instagram followers, which she likely earns money from sponsored posts from, and also her modelling and TV work.
