It’s official: Lebanese-Texan ‘Lipstick Mommy’ Nina Ali has just announced that she will no longer be on The Real Housewives of Dubai. Released in 2022 on OSN, The Real Housewives of Dubai took the city by storm, I mean, who doesn’t love the drama-filled world of reality television – amirite?
Along with five other cast members: Caroline Stanbury, Chanel Ayan, Caroline Brooks, Sara Al Madani, and Lesa Milan Hall, Nina Ali was thrust into stardom in no time after the first season’s release.

What has Nina Ali said on her departure?
Nina Ali, the mother of three and entrepreneur, took to her Instagram on 30 January 2023 to let her fans know that she is moving her “attention away from the show to allow myself the space to focus on new challenges.” See below the post and full caption…
“It was an honor to be a part of the debut season of “The Real Housewives of Dubai,” and to help @bravotv bring this beloved franchise to the city I call home. I’m grateful to the network, Andy Cohen, and the team at Truly Original for welcoming me into this extended family and for embracing the diversity of riches Dubai has to offer.
2023 has already brought many exciting opportunities my way, including an emerging new business, new home and new adventures, so for now I’ll be moving my attention away from the show to allow myself the space to focus on new challenges.
I wish my fellow Housewives all the best moving forward. I’ll be cheering you on! ♥️💫”
It looks like Nina’s departed the show on good terms, even with her fellow castmates. Her comments section is filled with love with plenty of UAE A-Listers. Friend on-screen and off Caroline Brooks writes, “If I try to put into words how much I love and care about you it will take a lifetime. My Ninzzzzz ♥️” And even Ebraheem Al Samadi from another Dubai reality TV show, Dubai Bling, has commented “You are the most elegant lady in the world and your always deserve the best ❤️ we love you and we stand by you forever 🙌🏽🌹♥️ #ForeverNina”
