Media outlets reported, on Friday, that Mamdouh Elssbiay, known as Big Ramy, married for the second time.
The wedding celebration was held secretly in a hotel in Alexandria. The couple will head to Dubai to spend their honeymoon together, according to Cairo24.
This is the second marriage after his first wife, Marwa, with whom he had three daughters.
Some reports refuted the news, claiming that the wedding pictures were taken while shooting a scene from the athlete’s new TV series set for Ramadan 2022.
Later on, his brother, Mohammed, confirmed the news, adding that the family was fully aware of this decision two days earlier but they did not attend the wedding not to hurt Marwa’s feelings concerning she is a relative.
He also defended his brother’s decision, noting that he has his own convictions and reasons without getting into further details.
Last month, Big Ramy claimed the 2021 Mr. Olympia title for the second consecutive time in Orlando, FL.
It was the defending champ who managed to hang onto the most prestigious title in bodybuilding. Since Big Ramy is a previous Olympia winner, the total count of Mr. O remains at 16.
