The beautiful star Mona Kattan recently broke the internet when she posted a snapshot of her beloved, Hassan Elamin. This came weeks after her birthday.
The pictures featured the most cherished memories of her and beau, with a caption, “My Fav gift is you,” inscribed under it. This informed everyone that the beauty entrepreneur was off the market and was in love and glowing from its looks.
Her beau, on the other hand, celebrated his 35th birthday with Mona by his side. He shared pictures of them dining in a Taikun restaurant in Dubai and captioned it, “My 35th was the best I ever had because of you @monakattan.” He also concluded it with a love emoji. Mona donned a shiny sequin jumper with a PVC belt and a sweet smile as she sat next to her lover.
As always, this roused a lot of responses from fans and celebrities alike. Mona also commented on his post, saying, “you deserve the BEST of the BEST, my king. Inshallah, every year gets better and better, my Al Basha.”
Her Previous Engagement To Dominic Nowell-Barnes
Mona met her ex on Tinder, and after virtually matching, the relationship began to grow by leaps and bounds.
Dominic Nowell-Barnes, a native of Leeds in the UK, converted to Islam early in the relationship. He’s also the first person that the beauty blogger ever introduced to her parents as her boyfriend. Later in April, the beauty blogger took to her social media to announce that she and her beau Nowell-Barnes were engaged.
Six months after this announcement, rumors began swirling around about their breakup. This was primarily because the beauty entrepreneur appeared to have deleted every photo of her fiancé from her Instagram.
On the other hand, Nowell-Barnes’ page still consisted of all the holiday pictures he took with Mona. However, there’s been no addition of new photos.
Although Mona let this news simmer for a long time, she eventually confirmed the rumors on her YouTube channel months after. She gave her reason for stalling as her inability to be vulnerable, but despite that, she had a duty to be transparent with her fans.
“I think that once you decide to have your social media open and public you have to commit to sharing your life with everybody because that want to know the ins and outs and I feel they get attached to situations so we need to share it,” Mona concluded.
Who Is Her New Boyfriend?
Hassan Elamin is a businessman based in Dubai. He also currently works at Aon Reinsurance Solutions as the Head of Facultative, Middle East, and Africa.
In 2008, he studied in Cass Business, where he received a Master of Science in insurance and risk management. He also spends his free time traveling and posting travel pictures.

He’s the oldest of three siblings; Ahmed, a traveler like himself, and Sally, a graphic designer who’s quite close to Mona and works in the marketing department for Huda beauty. There have been rumors that the duo got to meet through his sister.
There was a photo that made rounds featuring Sally and Mona attending private kickboxing classes. It would appear that they are genuinely close and aren’t doing it for clout.
