UAE singer Ahlam has revealed that she refuses to have any photographs of her newborn baby boy, Fahed, to be taken by the press. The refusal came after a number of close friends of Ahlam, who are journalists, expressed their desire to have photographs taken of her son and posting them in different magazines and newspapers.

Ahlam stressed that she will make it a point to keep her son away from the spotlight and the chaos of the entertainment world, adding that she wants to provide him with a normal life away from fame and the nuisance of the entertainment world. Ahlam revealed that she does not mind to have her picture taken or to undergo interviews, because she is a singer, but when it comes to her son she noted that he will not live the same way and will grow up like all other children, reported the daily, Al Jazeera.

Ahlam had finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy and named him Fahed. The news of the singer giving birth was confirmed by close family members and is not a rumor, as was the case two months ago. Ahlam gave birth at the American hospital in Dubai alongside her husband Mubarak. Around two months ago, rumors had it that Ahlam had given birth to a new baby girl and that she had named her Alia. Once the news reached the singer, she was shocked stressing that she is still pregnant and has recently entered her seventh month and still has two months to go until her delivery date.

Ahlam had at the time had announced that she was still pregnant and ended the silly rumor of her giving birth. The news appeared to be a prank that was spread over the internet and like any other rumor it spread so fast that it was posted on all newspapers and magazines.

During her pregnancy, Ahlam filmed a new music video "Leah Mitdaig" (Why are you Upset) in Lebanon. The singer showed a positive attitude throughout the filming of the clip, which took place in three different places around Beirut, and was accompanied by her husband (Mubarak), who insisted on being by her side in case she experienced difficulties while filming. –Albawaba.com
