Yasmin Abdallah had been with actor Rufus Sewell for some time when they married in 1999. However, their union only lasted months as they separated the following year. Although Rufus never publicly addressed their split, Yasmin later revealed minor details.

Her ex-husband moved on with Amy Gardner after their divorce, and the former couple had a son in 2002. They married two years later but separated in 2006. Yasmin also found new loves and became a mom.

Yasmin Abdallah's Relationship with Rufus Sewell and their Romantic History

Yasmin was 19 when she met Rufus. They began a romantic relationship that lasted four years before tying the knot when she was 23. Regarding their separation, Yasmin said it happened because she was "a bit messed up."

It's unclear when, but she later remarried fashion entrepreneur Kyle Robinson. Little about this marriage is known; however, it appears to have ended. In January 2023, Yasmin posted a snap of a framed painting depicting her family animated in "The Simpsons" style.

From left to right, it contained two dogs, Pizza and Ace, a man named Craig embracing Yasmin, and three young boys, Gene, Renzo, and Knox - a birthday gift she called the "greatest."

A man similar-looking to the animated Craig also repeatedly appears on Yasmin's Instagram page, which she primarily uses for work-related content. The Australian native previously worked as a fashion buyer and creative director but is now a business owner.

Yasmin Abdallah's Career and Its Ups and Downs

Yasmin began her career as a fashion buyer. During her time in this profession, she studied many systems of holistic well-being, including Integrative Quantum Medicine and Reiki.

In 2016, she worked on the online store Style.com with Vogue publisher Conde Nast, which was set to house luxury brands like Burberry, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana. The project, overseen by Anna Wintour (mom to Bee Shaffer and Charles Shaffer), launched that September but struggled to get off the ground.

It's unclear how Style.com panned out, but Yasmin later founded Vyrao, a fragrance company and well-being brand that offers unisex perfumes, candles, and incense that promote "energetic healing."

Yasmin Abdallah's Continued Influence in Fashion and Beauty

Although Yasmin seems to have geared more of her focus on her brand, Vyrao, her taste in fashion still has an impact. In March 2022, Forbes Vetted did a feature on her work wardrobe, which included layering and blending feminine and masculine pieces.

Later that year, she shared tips on keeping her skin clear and hydrated with The Cut. Yasmin said she prioritized getting a solid eight to nine hours of sleep. Her early morning routine also included tongue-scraping, drinking three to four glasses of water, and a quick eight-minute skincare routine.
