Early Life
Wehbe was born in Mahrouna, a small Shia farming town in Lebanon, to a Lebanese Shia father, Nadim antar, and Egyptian mother, but shortly afterward her family moved to Beirut where she grew up listening to jazz and R&B and began to work as a full-time model at a young age. Wehbe won the title of Miss South Lebanon at the age of sixteen. Wehbe was a runner-up at the Miss Lebanon competition.
Wehbe also made a name for herself when she starred in a music video clip for the famous Arabic crooner, George Wassouf. By 1996, she had appeared on over one hundred magazine covers.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“At the earliest ending of winter,
In March, a scrawny cry from outside
Seemed like a sound in his mind.
He knew that he heard it,
A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
In the early March wind.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
