Although Ramy Youssef has intentionally kept his personal life private, he has been candid about how it affects how he perceives himself. In an early 2023 interview, he explained that he didn't have "an identity attachment" to his work.

Instead, the more he continued his path in the entertainment industry, the more he wanted to commit to maintaining the relationships that mattered to him, especially as he envisioned fatherhood in his future.

Ramy Youssef's Wife: The Comedian Has Protected Her Identity

In another chat, he spoke briefly about his marriage, sharing, "I almost don't want to say this because I don't want to be cheesy, but I feel like getting married and working on a relationship is my greatest accomplishment."

Since getting hitched, the comedian reached a point where popularity mattered much less. Being a husband meant "so much more" to him than fame, and he hopes to be a dad someday. Additionally, he no longer pressured himself to work unnecessarily hard.

On the contrary, she played a "weirdo girlfriend." The dark comedy series follows Ramy as an Egyptian-American 20-something-year-old trying and failing to abide by his Muslim faith. Hadid, of Palestinian descent, said she felt an instant sense of belonging on her first day on set.

"Growing up and being Arab, it was the first time that I'd ever been with like-minded people. I was able to see myself," she explained. Before Hadid and Youssef met, he had already been friends with her brother, Anwar Hadid. The pair are also mutual friends with musician Mustafa.
