According to a report by The Times Of India, in 2023, Sami Zayn’s wife, Khadija Farhat Sebei had a conversation on Sami’s webcast, WWE Eliminator Chamber, during which she shared an insight about her relationship with Sami Zayn. In the same, Khadija explained that she first met her now-husband, Sami nearly eight years ago, which is around 2015. Further, she explained that initially, she thought Sami used to do wrestling just as a passion and has no plans to build a future in it. According to TOI, she was quoted as saying:
"So, I first met Sami about eight years ago. I had little idea what he did for a living. I also believed it might be merely a pastime. And I gradually came to realise that it was his actual passion, that I would be a part of it, and that this would be a lifelong endeavour."
After allegedly crossing paths in 2015, Khadijah Farhat Sebei and Sami Zayn reportedly tied the knot in 2018. Three years later, in 2021, the much-loved couple embraced parenthood with the birth of a son. According to Sportskeeda, they named their son, Rami Sebei Jr. In a podcast with Gorilla Position, in 2024, Sami Zayn revealed that he has shielded his son from watching him wrestle. Sharing the reason behind it, he shared:
"I shielded him from watching any wrestling because I just thought it'd be traumatising whether I tell him or not like, 'It's okay. It's entertainment or whatever. It's pretend and Baba's okay and these are his friends or whatever.' I still think it's traumatic to watch your father get beat up."
It is worth noting that even though Khadijah has often been seen supporting her husband during his matches, the wrestler has preferred to keep her out of media attention. In 2024, during the same conversation on Gorilla Position podcast, wrestler, Sami Zyan also opened up about his wife, Khadijah and why he has kept her away from media attention. When asked in detail, Sami shared that he wants to shield her from all the criticism online. In his words:
"I've been extremely private my whole career and my whole life actually, but I shielded her specifically from it because she didn't sign up for it, and I just don't think she's built for criticism. The kind of criticism that these monsters online sometimes hurl at us, especially the women or whatever. And I just didn't want to expose her to that and then somehow or another she ended up kind of involved in the story when we did the match in Montreal."
For those who do not know, Sami Zyan started his journey long before rising to fame with WWE. Reportedly, after training in Canada, he made his debut in 2002. In 2013, he joined hands with WWE and soon became a fan-favourite wrestler. However, his breakthrough came in 2014, when he won the NXT Championship. Over the years, he won multiple major titles.
