Amid news that Saadeh's ex-husband spent time in Milan with well-known media personality Khloe Kardashian, there have been more questions about who the Italian actor's former wife was.

Rouba Saadeh Is Originally from Lebanon and Works in the Fashion Industry

Rouba Saadeh comes from Lebanon. She studied Experimental Science at Notre Dame de Jamhour - NDJ from 1994 to 2004. The institution opened its doors in October 1952 and is run by the Near East Province Jesuit Fathers. It's the successor of the University of Saint Joseph Secondary School, established in Beirut in 1875. The college accepts boys and girls from grade 12 to the final grades.

The actor expressed on his Instagram page how difficult the divorce was for him sometime after the couple split.

Saadeh obtained a bachelor's degree in Science, Graphic Design at the Lebanese American University. She also got her master's degree in Business Administration at the same university while working as a graphic designer at Alfa-MIC1, where she worked from 2008 to 2011. Saadeh worked as a freelance graphic designer from 2008 to 2021.

After graduating in 2011, she did an intensive Fashion Design course in 2012 at Instituto Marangoni. She worked as an Assistant for the Head of Design team at Elie Saab for a year after she graduated. She founded a designer-based store called Le Paradis Des Fous in 2013, and her business gathers talents worldwide and displays their creations.

She collaborated again with Elie Saab in Beiruit in 2019, working as their Ready-to-Wear Coordinator, and has since gotten a promotion to Ready-to-Wear Studio Manager. Saadeh speaks five languages at high level, which include Arabic, Italian, French, and English.

Rouba Saadeh and Michele Morrone Were Married for 4 Years

Rouba Saadeh and Michele Morrone married in 2014 and welcomed two children together; their sons Marcus, born around 2014, and Brando, born in 2017.

Morrone learned Arabic because of his wife and children, as his kids live in Lebanon. He also speaks English and Italian, which he says is "a weird combination."

The couple, unfortunately, divorced four years later, in 2018. The actor expressed on his Instagram how difficult the divorce was for him sometime after the couple split. He wrote partly in his caption:

"A year and a half ago, I was about to leave everything, I didn't want to act anymore. I was in a severe state of depression after divorcing my wife."

The actor, who's also a singer, dedicated the song released in 2014 titled "Rain in The Heart" to his ex-wife. Despite their split, Morrone still thinks Saadeh is a fantastic woman and says she deserves to have a song dedicated to her.
