The couple’s relationship ended in divorce and lots of people who are close to Biniyam are worried his relationship with Ariela will end the same way.
2. He Has A Son
Biniyam’s previous marriage resulted in a son named Simon. Ironically enough, Biniyam’s ex-wife, Bria, originally planned on doing the same thing as Ariela – going back to Ethiopia to give birth. However, Bria learned that the baby was suffering from a rare condition which caused his organs to grow outside of his body. Doctors strongly urged her to have the baby in the United States, which she did.
