ALBAWABA - Egyptian actors Sherif Salama and Dalia Mostafa are officially divorced.

Egyptian actor Sherif Salama and his wife, actress Dalia Mostafa, have officially ended their marriage after 21 years together. The couple was thought to be one of the most solid and low-key pairs in the Egyptian entertainment business, so the breakup has gotten a lot of attention.

Al-Arabiya.net and Al-Hadath.net were told by a source close to Sherif Salama that the split followed more than a year of constant disagreements. Even though family and close friends put a lot of work into trying to get them back together, it didn't work out. In the end, both parties decided that ending the relationship was the best choice.

The source says that the divorce was final, quiet, and well-organized. The person who officiated the marriage went with Sherif Salama to the couple's home. Dalia Mostafa's dad was there too. They talked about and decided on all of the legal and personal matters, especially those having to do with their two sons, who are still in school and need stability and care.

The source said that Dalia Mostafa got very emotional when the split was final. She apparently started crying, then broke down and started crying loudly. Her father and brother stayed with her and tried to make her feel better, but she was very hurt by what had happened and stayed angry for a long time.

Dalia Mostafa didn't let her two boys be there during the divorce because she was worried about them. She instructed them to reside with a family member until the divorce proceedings concluded. The split was in the family home, where she still lives with her kids, and she didn't want them to see something so painful.

In the early 2000s, Sherif Salama and Dalia Mostafa got married and stayed out of public drama as they built their life together. Over the years, they avoided escalating issues and frequently discussed the significance of family. Dalia had already said in interviews that being a mother was important to her, but Sherif was known for not letting people into his private life.

Both actors are doing well in their jobs. Sherif Salama is known for being calm on screen and playing strong parts in drama series. Dalia Mostafa has a good image because she always does a good job, and her fans love her.

Currently, there hasn't been an official public comment from either Sherif Salama or Dalia Mostafa. Fans still feel sorry for the stars and hope that they and their kids will be able to deal with this hard change in a calm way.
