The newest franchise in the Real Housewives universe is The Real Housewives of Dubai. And joining this new series is new housewife Taleen Marie. She joined after Nina Ali left. Taleen announced that she would be joining the cast and thanked the network and Andy Cohen on her Instagram.
Taleen is an Armenian American singer who landed a publishing deal with FoxxKing Music, which is Jamie Foxx's publishing company. She has had a very successful career.
Since Taleen is new to the series, Real Housewives of Dubai viewers will get to enjoy a new dynamic both within the group and in the series in general. Here's everything we know so far about her husband.
Who is 'Real Housewives of Dubai' star Taleen Marie's husband?
Taleen moved to Dubai in 2014, the same year she met her husband Rafael Khanoyan. They have two children together — Gabriella Marie and Sienna Dean. Taleen joining The Real Housewives of Dubai cast means that her husband will be on the journey right alongside her. The husbands always get involved whether they want to be or not.
Rafael is a boss. He is the CEO of the very well-known Al Ryum Group, which designed and built parks throughout the city of Abu Dhabi. His company has had a hand in building some of the most well-known buildings and structures in Dubai. With such an important position in a major company, it's understandable why he may not be as active on social media as often. His Instagram page is sparsely updated but is full of photos of family and now a few clips of what's to come in The Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2.
Taleen Marie is the true boss in the relationship.
Rafael may be the CEO of a major company, but Taleen has a lot of businesses under her belt in addition to her music career. She is an investor in CTZN Cosmetics and is also starting her own fitness platform. Her entrepreneurial spirit is matched by talent. She is a professionally trained singer who sang with the Washington Opera. According to her interview with Cosmo, she has even sung for Placido Domingo, a recently disgraced opera legend, which is a very big deal.
Taleen is a major deal in the music industry.
The newest Housewife in the cast is an entrepreneur with immense musical talent, and not just on stage. She was only 17 years -old when she landed the publishing deal with FoxxKing. She shared in the Cosmo interview that she wrote and recorded "Over a hundred songs with Grammy-winning producers and songwriters." Taleen added, "My songs have been featured in commercials, reality TV shows, and one landed in the top 40 charts." What's the one thing that took her away from Los Angeles? Her love for Rafael.
What can 'The Real Housewives of Dubai' viewers expect from Taleen in Season 2?
According to Taleen's Bravo bio, she was brought into the fold of the cast through her friendship with Caroline Brooks. She and Caroline have known each other for a long time. Taleen becomes closer to the other Caroline in the cast, Caroline Stanbury. However, their connection doesn't go over too well with Caroline Brooks. Hopefully, Taleen and Rafael are prepared to handle themselves in the crazy world of Real Housewives.
