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.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Women’s childhood relationships with their fathers are important to them all their lives. Regardless of age or status, women who seem clearest about their goals and most satisfied with their lives and personal and family relationships usually remember that their fathers enjoyed them and were actively interested in their development.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no life lives for ever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
