This week, Nora and Khalid had their baby’s gender reveal event at the One&Only Royal Mirage’s Jetty Lounge.
During the event, 350 drones presented the couple’s love story, from images of Khalid getting down on one knee to ask for Nora’s hand in marriage and, later, revealing the baby’s gender in the grand finale.
In an exclusive interview with CosmoME, Nora shared that she struggled with fertility issues, due to having cancerous cells and a hyperactive thyroid, and was unsure if becoming a mother would be possible. “It was on an extraordinarily high level,” she told us.
She also opened up that Khalid had to get surgery so that their fertility journey could lead them to a successful pregnancy.
The social media star revealed: “We were both not planning on getting pregnant for the next two years, like not even a second thought.”
Then, things turned around that the couple hadn’t expected.
“Last winter, we went to Mecca with our families, and I remember so clearly that Khalid was next to me, and he had made a Dua,” Nora shared.
A Dua is the act of worship in requesting Allah for assistance.
Khalid had prayed in Arabic and asked: “If having a child soon is good for us, then please make it happen, and if it’s not gonna be good for us, then please keep it away from us.”
“Not even a month later, I found out I was pregnant on March 13th,” Nora said.
Look at the cute couple’s reaction to finding out they are having a girl; we are just tearing up every time we watch it on repeat. 🥹
