Recently, the name Zainab Youssef Shaaban has gained attention on social media, especially after her appearances where she discussed her late father, the artist Youssef Shaaban, before his passing.
Zainab Shaaban attracted attention due to her striking Arab beauty, with some even comparing her to several celebrities, including Dr. Kholoud, while others likened her to actress Nadine Njeim in various videos she appeared in. Zainab spoke in a Kuwaiti accent, which raised questions about her background, revealing that she is the daughter of the artist and his Kuwaiti wife, Iman Al-Shariaan. There have been reports suggesting that she is around 40 years younger than her father, as she was born in 1971 while the late artist was born in 1931. Zainab resides in Kuwait with her family and works as a media personality, hosting a program called "Layali Kuwait." She has an Instagram account where she shares many photos highlighting her features, which are a mix of Gulf and Egyptian beauty. Zainab posted her first photo with her father, the Egyptian artist Youssef Shaaban, on her personal page on April 14, 2020.
Zainab has a brother named Murad, who has stayed out of the limelight, with no photos or information available about him except for 2017, when he celebrated his wedding in a lavish ceremony. He married a Lebanese woman named Joudi Maatouq, the daughter of a Lebanese jewelry trader, with the wedding held in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. Zainab and Murad also have an elder sister named Sinai, who is the daughter of the late artist and Nadia Ismail Cherine, the daughter of Princess Fawzia, sister of King Farouk. Sinai rarely appears in the media, especially since she is considered one of the granddaughters of King Farouk. The only photo of Sinai that has been seen is from her wedding accompanied by their father, where she notably resembled her mother, Nadia Ismail.
It is worth mentioning that the Egyptian artist was married four times. His first marriage was to the Egyptian actress Laila Taher, followed by a marriage to Princess Nadia Ismail Cherine, the mother of his eldest daughter, Sinai. After the separation, he married actress Suham Fathy a year later, with his final marriage being to the Kuwaiti Iman Al-Shariaan, with whom he had Murad and Zainab.
