Actor Michele Morrone Split From His Wife Long Before His Big Break

When the Polish film 365 DNI aka 365 Days hit Netflix in June 2020, Michele Morrone became a breakout star after his now iconic line, "Are you lost, baby girl?"

Since then, there have been two more films in the series, and Michele has gone on to act in movies such as Subservience alongside Megan Fox and 2025's Maserati: Two Brothers, starring Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Alba.

However, before 365 Days, Michele was a struggling actor — who was also dealing with a divorce from his longtime partner, and the mother of his two children.

Here is everything you need to know about Michele's ex-wife, Rouba Saadeh.

His ex-wife is a Lebanese stylist named Rouba Saadeh. She is a designer and also the founder of Le Paradis Des Fous, a designer-based concept store that gathers talents from around the globe and displays their creations.

It also appears from her Instagram bio that she works for Elie Saab, one of the most famous fashion designers in the world.

Michele and Rouba have two children together — Marcus who was born in 2014, and Brando who was born in 2017.

While Michele and Rouba may have gone their separate ways, his love for his children seems more important than ever. After posting a picture of him with his boys, he wrote on Instagram, “ho messo al mondo due vite #nothingelsematters” which translates to, "I have brought two lives into the world #nothingelsematters” in English.

In a heartfelt and honest Instagram post, Michele opened up about his divorce and how it led him to do a lot of soul-searching after suffering from depression.

He ultimately ended up living as a bit of a recluse in a small village and truly finding out what’s important in life. Soon enough, he was cast in 365 DNI.

He wrote, “A year and a half ago I was about to leave everything, I didn't want to act anymore. I was in a severe state of depression after divorcing my wife. I found work as a gardener in a remote village of 1000 inhabitants because I had no more money in my pocket. But life is strange, when you're down destiny puts the right train in front of you and if you're strong you can take it. Always believe in yourself... ALWAYS."

In an interview with Elle India in 2021, Michele also opened up about fatherhood, telling the magazine, "It’s actually the most difficult job... They’re like sponges; they just absorb everything that you do and say. So, you have to be really, really, careful. The most important thing that I am teaching my kids is to have passion. I am not the kind of parent who would want to push them to be a doctor or a lawyer. I just want them to be passionate about what they do."
