We can’t get enough of the drama on and off screen that The Real Housewives of Dubai brings.
And yes, the beef and drama are what makes it bingeable but it’s also cute to see those stars who share special bonds (yes, we love to see friendships blossom).
Two besties that everyone is always keen to know more about are series regular Caroline Stanbury and Michael Davis.
Despite Michael only appearing on the series for a brief stint during Season 1 fans are used to catching up with what they get up to via their social media.
But how did they meet and become so close? Well, Cosmo ME has the tea as back in 2022 Michael sat down with us to share all the details on their first get-together and why they are now inseparable and ‘speak every day’.
Sharing the 4-1-1 on how they became connected, Michael told us that they met for business purposes as he is the CEO of NMC Healthcare, the largest private provider of healthcare in the Middle East and this includes the CosmeSurge brand of clinics with 19 cosmetic and aesthetic surgery centres across the UAE.
He was looking for a “baddie” to be the face of CosmeSurge with a mutual friend of his and Caroline’s believing she’d be a good fit.
Michael recalled: “On our very first meeting four years ago. Someone connected us for coffee because we were looking for someone to be the face of CosmeSurge. I wanted a baddie. Our CosmeSurge brand is not ‘you’re ugly come to us to be pretty’.
“Our CosmeSurge client is confident, successful, and knows who she (or he) is, but are always looking for ways to take care of themselves. That was Caroline.”
Proving that they had an instant bond he added: “What was to be a 30-minute coffee turned into two hours. I think we’ve spoken every day since.”
The pair are super close and Michael walked Caroline down the aisle when she married her husband Sergio in Mauritius.
All three of them get on well with trio often taking trips together and even want to retire together.
Caroline told us in 2022: “Michael and I are very used to travelling together with Sergio. You hardly ever find people that you can live with, never mind travel with. He’s an important part of my life and I made him buy a house next to me too. We all want to retire next to each other close by and continue living the way we do.
“We have big plans for our end of days together. I love travelling the world with Michael as does my husband. My children love him. Right now, I wouldn’t change a thing. I can’t imagine our day-to-day life without him.”
