Expected to take on the role of the ultimate main character in the next season of Dubai Bling, Ebraheem Al Samadi doesn’t just play at life’s game; he tries to rewrite its rules. His electric personality, statement-making style, and talent for stirring just the right amount of chaos make him someone impossible to ignore. But behind the designer suits and all of the reality TV drama lies a backstory that’s raw, real, and brimming with hustle.
Born in Kuwait in 1988 and raised in the U.S., Al Samadi grew up navigating the tightrope between two cultures. He describes himself as a “hybrid,” balancing his Kuwaiti heritage and American upbringing, yet often feeling unmoored by the constant back-and-forth. “We didn’t know where we belonged,” he said, reflecting on his fractured sense of identity in a podcast interview with Hikmet Wehbi. That said, things seemingly took a sharp turn for him at the age of 13, when his parents divorced. Overnight, he explains having had to become the man of the house, working hard to support his mom and sister while they lived in a cramped one-bedroom apartment.
His grind began on eBay, where a simple idea—selling unworn jeans—snowballed into a full-blown business. “I heard about this website and listed jeans I never wore. I sold them for more than I bought them for,” he recalled in an interview with Arabian Business. Looking back, it feels as if that teenage side hustle laid the groundwork for what would become his entrepreneurial empire.

Fast forward to today, and Al Samadi is the man behind Forever Rose, a luxury floral brand that’s as extra as it gets. These aren’t your typical bouquets—we’re talking roses that last up to three years without water or sunlight. After snapping up the brand in London, he relocated to Dubai, transforming it into the go-to for anyone looking to flex over their partners or loved ones. Not stopping there, he launched the Forever Rose Café, a monochrome wonderland that reeks of pure Instagram catnip. Viral on TikTok and always full of internet influencers, it’s the kind of spot where art, whimsy, and caffeine can collide in a way.
On Dubai Bling, Al Samadi serves up drama with a side of vulnerability. Whether he’s verbally sparring with Zeina Khoury or shutting down speculation about his personal life, he’s always at the center of the stage. Season two began with his spectacular wedding to Hamda Al Hamly—a lavish event that embodied his signature Forever Rose aesthetic. Held at Abu Dhabi’s Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, the celebration was a star-studded affair brimming with opulence, meticulously orchestrated by White Seasons Events.
But here’s the twist: this wasn’t his first foray into matrimony. His first marriage, at just 17, was a whirlwind union in Morocco sparked by cultural pressures. A second marriage in 2016 remains a mystery, adding another layer to his lowkey chaotic persona. Through it all, the reality star keeps fans guessing, revealing just enough to stoke curiosity while keeping plenty behind the velvet rope to maintain an air of intrigue.
When the cameras stop rolling, Al Samadi is all about paying it forward. He’s vocal about self-acceptance and resilience, using his platform to inspire others to dream big and stay authentic. At the heart of it all is his tightly knit bond with his mother, whose sacrifices and prayers he credits for his success. “I wanted to bring back to my mum the life she had at my dad’s place,” he said in an interview Arabian Business, revealing his drive to rewrite his family’s story.
With season three of Dubai Bling just around the corner, fans can’t wait to see what larger-than-life moves he pulls next. Whether he’s redefining luxury, stirring up reality TV drama, or setting TikTok on fire, one thing’s certain—he knows how to keep us guessing, and we can’t wait for it!
