LOS ANGELES – Former Miss USA Rima
Fakih announced she was pregnant on the front cover of Marie Claire Arabia.
Fakih, 31, a former Dearborn
resident, tied the knot in Lebanon in May to music producer Wassim Salibi, 35.
Salibi is the manager of Grammy
award winning R&B singer The Weeknd.
Fakih made history in 2010 when she
became the first Arab American Muslim woman to be crowned Miss USA. The owner
of the pageant was Donald Trump.
Fakih was
born in Lebanon and would later move to New York City with her family. She
resided in Dearborn for several years, where she attended the University of
Michigan-Dearborn.
In 2009,
she submitted her name in the Miss Michigan pageant and went on to win the
national crown.
Fakih
caused some controversy earlier this year when she converted to Christianity
prior to her marriage to Salibi.
The couple currently resides in L.A.
