Rouba Saadeh is a Lebanese fashion professional from Beirut, and most people first hear her name because she was once married to Italian actor Michele Morrone. That is only one piece of her story, though. She has worked as a graphic designer, opened her own concept store in Beirut, and later built a steady career at the fashion house Elie Saab. This article pulls together what is publicly known about her life story, and it points out the details that are unclear or unconfirmed.

Who Is Rouba Saadeh?
Rouba Saadeh is a fashion professional who was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. Her work history runs from web and graphic design into luxury fashion, and she is said to be the Ready-to-Wear Studio Manager at Elie Saab, a Lebanese label best known for couture and red carpet gowns. She also started a designer concept store in Beirut back in 2013. Outside Lebanon, her name spread mostly in 2020, when the Netflix film 365 Days made Michele Morrone famous and viewers started asking who his ex-wife was.
Don’t Mix Her Up With Other People Online
If you search her name, you may see descriptions of a singer, a weather company CEO, or an art curator called Rouba Saadeh. Nothing backs up those claims, and they don’t match the Beirut fashion professional covered here. They appear to be either different people or plain mistakes, so I left them out.
Early Life and Education
Rouba Saadeh was born on 15 April 1987 in Beirut, and that date holds up consistently, which makes it fairly safe to use. That puts her at 39 years old as of September 2026. She has two siblings, but her family details are mostly kept private, so this article doesn’t go further into them.
She finished high school at Collège Notre-Dame de Jamhour in 2004 and started at the Lebanese American University the same year. She is said to have graduated in 2008 with a degree in graphic design, focused on digital media. She then went back to the same university for an MBA, which is said to have finished in 2011, though that detail is unconfirmed. In 2012 she completed a postgraduate diploma in fashion design at Istituto Marangoni in Milan. She speaks Arabic, English, French, and Italian.
Rouba Saadeh Career: From Graphic Design to Elie Saab
Her career didn’t start in fashion. She began as a freelance graphic designer in 2008, and in 2009 she joined the Lebanese telecom company Alfa as a web graphic designer for close to three years. The move into fashion came later, after her studies in Milan.
After Milan she took an assistant job in the design team at Elie Saab. The start date is not clear, and it could fall anywhere between 2011 and September 2013. In September 2013 she also opened Les Paradis Des Fous, a designer concept store in Beirut that brought together pieces from designers around the world. The French name loosely means “the paradise of the crazy ones,” and it is sometimes spelled “Le Paradis Des Fous.” How long the shop stayed open is not clearly documented, so I won’t guess.
In June 2019 she went back to Elie Saab as a senior ready-to-wear coordinator. She is said to have moved up to studio supervisor in 2021 and to ready-to-wear studio manager in 2022. It’s a behind-the-scenes job, so there are no big awards or headline projects tied to her name, and I found none that I could verify.
Rouba Saadeh and Michele Morrone: Marriage and Family Life
Rouba Saadeh and Michele Morrone met in 2011 while he was visiting Lebanon. They got married in 2014. It is also said that they had a civil wedding in Italy and a small private ceremony in Lebanon, but that detail is unconfirmed, so take it lightly. Their first son, Marcus, was born in 2014, and their second son, Brando, followed in 2017.
The marriage ended in 2018, after roughly four years. Neither of them has given a public reason, and I’m not going to repeat the guesses that float around comment sections. In early 2020, Morrone said publicly that the time after the divorce was one of the hardest of his life and that he had even thought about leaving acting. The two are said to share parenting of their sons, who grew up in Lebanon.
As for her love life, nothing has been publicly confirmed. She has stayed quiet on the subject since the divorce, and no credible information links her to a new partner as of 2026. With two children involved, respecting that privacy seems like the right call.
Rouba Saadeh in 2026: Where She Is Now
I checked for any major 2026 developments, like a new project, interview, or public statement. Nothing verifiable turned up, so this article has no “latest news” section. Adding one would only mean padding it with guesses.
As far as public information goes, she still lives in Beirut and continues in her ready-to-wear role at Elie Saab. Her Instagram account mixes fashion, family, and everyday photos, and her following sits at roughly 150,000 to 160,000. She doesn’t seem to give many interviews, and she appears happy to let her work and her posts do the talking.
What Is Rouba Saadeh’s Net Worth?
Rough estimates put her net worth somewhere between $500,000 and $2 million. Nobody has shown how that number was worked out, and she has never shared her finances in public. So I would treat it as a guess at best, an estimated figure as of 2026 that can’t be verified.
Details That Are Unclear
While putting this together, I kept running into small differences in the details. I’m listing the main ones here so you know why this article sounds careful in a few spots.
- Age: You may see 38 given by mistake. With a birth date of 15 April 1987, she is 39 in September 2026.
- Elie Saab start date: Anywhere from 2011 to September 2013.
- Store name: Both “Les Paradis Des Fous” and “Le Paradis Des Fous” are used.
- Height and weight: The figures change depending on where you look and none come from her, so I left them out.
How This Was Researched
I checked her birth date, education, job titles, and marriage details more than once wherever I could, and I flagged anything I couldn’t confirm. I also looked for 2026 developments and found nothing I could verify. The gap I tried to fill is a clear, careful profile that sticks to what she is actually tied to and says openly what is unclear. I did not speak with her or anyone who knows her.
