Personal Life
Hijazi was born in her native Lebanon to Mahmoud and Nadia Hijazi, and raised in France, where her family had fled due to the political instabilities. Hijazi has five brothers, Ibrahim, Youssef, Ahmad, Mohamoud and the late Mustafa. Her father died when she was only ten years old and she was left in the care of her mother. Her family realized her talent for singing and her interest in music and duly supported her. Hijazi had in fact started her career as a model before she became a singer.
In 2008, Hijazi married the Lebanese business tycoon, Mohamed Al Bassam. Their son, Karim was born on 20 March 2009.
Hijazi holds a diploma in architecture engineering.

“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Hostesses who entertain much must make up their parties as ministers make up their cabinets, on grounds other than personal liking.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The general review of the past tends to satisfy me with my political life. No man, I suppose, ever came up to his ideal. The first half [of] my political life was first to resist the increase of slavery and secondly to destroy it.... The second half of my political life has been to rebuild, and to get rid of the despotic and corrupting tendencies and the animosities of the war, and other legacies of slavery.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
