Netflix recently released fan-favorite Love is Blind: Habibi's reunion episode on November 1, 2024. As it was filmed almost a year after the show's finale was aired, viewers have been eager to learn everything about their favorite cast members.

The Love is Blind: Habibi reunion featured the sole married couple, Safa and Mohammad, participants who parted ways from their connection on the social experiment and more. Participants who were still single were also present, along with the married host couple Elham Ali and Khaled Saqer.

While Nour, Mido, Dounia, and Chafic argued about "standard" and "jealousy," Safa and Mohammad shared how the first year of their married life went. The reunion episode also featured the latest update about the engaged couple Khatab and Asma, who parted ways a few weeks after the social experiment ended.


Love is Blind: Habibi reunion recap: What happened during the episode?

Netflix's Love is Blind: Habibi reunion episode aired on November 1, 2024, and revealed which participants were together and what went wrong between the rest. The tenth episode revealed how Khatab and Asma parted ways because of his busy work schedule.

He couldn't give Asma more time because of his work and odd timings. Hence, with such things going on between the two, they parted ways sometime after the show's finale episode aired.

"What happened is that my job is very demanding. I told Asma from day one, and she can even review the episode. I explained to her that I want a woman who can harmonize with my lifestyle," shared Khatab.

However, Asma added that they were still on good terms despite parting ways.


Nour and Mido's argument: Love is Blind: Habibi Reunion

The reunion episode also featured an argument between former couple Nour and Mido. While the male cast member shared that choosing Nour during the show was his mistake, it didn't align with Nour.

"I just want to recall that after I left the program, she said about me, 'Mido is not a man, I'm not babysitting him.' That shows morals and ethics. I'm brave enough to admit that I made a mistake by choosing her," shared Mido.

Later, while Nour and Mido discussed the topic, the female cast member offered advice to fellow female participants Dounia and her partner Chafic. Both of them refused to get any advice from Nour; however, she opened up and discussed how Dounia was jealous during the experiment.

The four participants, Nour, Mido, Chafic, and Dounia, intensely discussed jealousy, standards, and more. Soon, Karma and Hajar also joined the conversation and shared their opinions.


The Golden Couple: Safa and Mohammad

The hosts then turned to the only couple that married on Love is Blind: Habibi, i.e., Safa and Mohammad. The duo shared how they have spent the first year of their marriage. Safa also mentioned that the next day was their first anniversary.

The duo opened up about their honeymoon, how they went to buy Safa's wardrobe, Mohammad's birthday celebration, and more. The episode also featured a clip containing various celebrations that both Safa and Mohammad enjoyed together as husband and wife. Safa shared that the "first period" of marriage was very difficult.

"But the beautiful thing is that we very much understand why it's happening, and our communication is what's kept us together."

Love is Blind: Habibi reunion: Participants share their apologies

The latter part of the reunion featured former couples sharing their views on how their relationships failed during the show. They included Hajar, Simo, Karma, and Ammar.

While discussing the things that went wrong and how everyone has different mindsets and beliefs, Simo and Hajjar's discussion got intense. The female cast member shared how whatever she shared during the pods phase was used against her in a way she didn't mean.

The Love is Blind: Habibi reunion also featured a video clip containing a message from former participant Yasmin. It was for Simo; as Yasmin mentioned, Simo had messaged her on Instagram, which he later deleted. She said she was happy she left the experiment "at the right time."

When the hosts asked Simo why he deleted the message, he said he didn't delete it because he had nothing to hide.

One of the male participants, Chafic, shared his regret as he mentioned:

"I regretted my mistake with Simo and Dounia."

Simo also apologized to Chafic for his "bad behavior," and they hugged each other. While they were hugging, Nour whispered to Hajjar, "So fake." The episode ended with Mido apologizing to Nour for the part he played.

Seeing Mido apologize, Asma said he was "courageous" in taking responsibility and apologizing. Chafic and Dounia also apologized in the end.

As everyone was apologizing, Mohammad tried to normalize the situation by teasing and sharing that he also wanted to apologize. The reason for his apology was that he took Safa and didn't give anyone a "chance," to which everyone laughed.
