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.
