Haifa Wehbe was born on March 10, 1976, in Mahrouna, South Lebanon. Growing up in Beirut, Wehbe enjoyed listening to jazz and R&B music. She got an early start in modeling, and was crowned “Miss South Lebanon” by the time she was sixteen. In 1995, nineteen-year-old Wehbe was runner-up in the Miss Lebanon competition; a title that was later revoked when it was discovered that she was married, had a daughter, and therefore did not qualify as a “Miss.”

A year later, Wehbe started modelling for several magazines, and soon after released her first album, It is Time. In 2005, she released her second album, I Want to Live, featuring the successful single “Hayat Albi.” It was followed up with her signature hit song, “Ana Haifa (I am Haifa).” On June 10, 2006, Haifa performed as an opening act for 50 Cent, at his first concert in Lebanon.

In addition to being known for her stunning looks, Wehbe also has a reputation for being catty and hypocritical with other women, especially when criticizing them for wearing revealing clothing. Wehbe, however, is no stranger to exposure herself. At the 2004 London Lebanese Fashion show, Wehbe sported a skin-tight dress that stole the spotlight from the show’s models, who seemed conservative in comparison. In March 2006, a video of her dress coming undone reportedly hit the internet and went straight into cyber-circulation, creating a scandal in her home country. Her management later stated that the video was fabricated and “not worth worrying about.”

Outside of show business, Wehbe has become engaged in designing her own line of diamond jewelry, as well as being a spokesmodel for Pepsi.
