When the Real Housewives franchise announced it would extend its good graces outside the United States to welcome the wives of Dubai to the lineup, fans were excited. The Real Housewives of Dubai began airing in 2022, and it immediately became a hit. While some Housewives franchises were a bit boring in retrospect (we’re looking at you, Miami), Dubai is everything exciting that the franchise needed.
Although Caroline Stanbury is one of the most-lovable housewives on RHODubai, it’s Cem Habib the world is curious to learn more about. Anyone has known Stanbury before her presence in RHODubai know how loving she was with her ex-husband Cem Habib. The chemistry they shared melted hearts and leaving many to wonder the real reason behind Cem Habib and Caroline Stanbury’s divorce.
Who Is Caroline Stanbury?
In addition to being cast as one of six housewives in RHODubai, Caroline Stanbury is a businesswoman, and also British. With her appearances in reality TV, Stanbury has amassed fans and followers on social media. Why? Because this is not the British beauty’s first time on reality television. Prior to the Housewives of Dubai, Stanbury was part of the Ladies of London cast. She was on the show from 2014 to 2017, and was quite popular with the show’s audiences.
At 46, Stanbury is living almost every girl’s dream as a television personality and a business owner. She founded a luxury gift store in London but closed the business. With a natural business-oriented mindset, Stanbury began a shoe line, and hosts a podcast. Her podcast, Divorced Not Dead, gives her fans a real look into her life. Stanbury remarried Sergio José Carrallo Pendás in 2021.
Cem Habib Is Also A Reality Show Star
Cem Habib began his reality show stint at the same time as his ex-wife. They’d been married ten years when she was tapped to become part of a new show, Ladies of London, in 2014. Habib made appearances alongside his wife on the show for all three seasons it aired. Following its cancellation in 2017, the family was off reality television for good. However, their marriage did not survive long afterwards. The couple divorced, in 2019, two years after Ladies of London was canceled.
With the divorce, Habib is no longer obligated to participate in Stanbury’s reality TV world. However, although he’s no longer married to Stanbury, they still share three kids. Together, they have a daughter and a set of twin boys. Habib and Stanbury live in Dubai, but Habib is the reason the family moved to Dubai in the first place. Habib was offered a lucrative job in the city, with the family moving from London to take up his offer.
What Is Cem Habib Doing Now?
Cem Habib is a Turkish financier and a successful one. Habib’s Dubai job is proof he’s got the brains to match his looks. His ex-wife, Stanbury continues to speak highly of him. She calls him calm and easygoing, and a great father. He is still living and working in Dubai and spends time with the kids. He and Stanbury are good friends and co-parents, who always put their kids’ needs ahead of everything else.
Why Did Cem Habib And Caroline Stanbury Divorce?
Watching these two on Ladies of London was easy. They were good together. They traveled together and had family nights and date nights regularly. They were a happy family, and they appeared to respect and admire one another. The world was shocked when they announced their divorce, but nothing was scandalous. The couple announced they’d merely grown apart after 17 years of being together. They were married in 2004 and had a good life, but they were not the same young kids who fell in love and married.
According to Stanbury, Habib is a man who enjoys a quiet life. He likes simple things, he likes to stay out of the press, and he does not want the same type of life she did. They simply want to be friends and wish one another the best. They love one another and are great friends, and that’s all there is to it.
There Is No Drama
For those looking for a dramatic story about why this beautiful couple chose to end their marriage, you’re not getting it. Their happily ever after included them parting ways as friends. They do not bash one another in the press. They do not speak ill of one another. They raise their kids together, and they are kind to one another. For what’s worth, it’s a great way to do it when there are kids involved. Habib continues to live his quiet life and maintain an air of privacy as he always wanted. In the end, Cem Habib and Caroline Stanbury are happy with the choice they made and have moved on to other partners.
