US President Donald Trump is going to have much to think about before
speaking politics at the dinner table now that his daughter Tiffany is
dating an Arab who grew up in Nigeria .
Michael Boulos, the son of Lebanese business tycoon Massad Boulos,
grew up in Nigeria, where his father runs Boulos Enterprises and SCOA
Nigeria, a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate that trades in vehicles,
equipment, retail and construction.
Boulos senior is married to the daughter of Lebanese businessman
Zouhair Faddoul, whom he worked with before founding his own ventures.
Originally from the northern village of Kfaraakka in Lebanon,
Michael moved to London to complete his undergraduate degree after
graduating from an elite international school in Lagos.
Michael and his family regularly go to their mother country every
summer for the holidays, and his father even ran for parliamentary
elections in 2018 before withdrawing his nomination. Boulos senior was
involved with politics previously, being a part of President Michel
Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement before falling out with it and joining
the Marada Movement, headed by former minister Suleiman Frangieh.
Although news of their romance only just surfaced, the two have
reportedly been seeing each other since the summer – when they met at a
party on Greek island Mykonos with actress Lindsay Lohan, who splits her
time between the US and Dubai.
“Tiffany is happy she has so far been able to keep things with Michael
under the radar,” an insider told Page Six, which first broke news of
the romance. “But she introduced him to her family at Thanksgiving, and
he comes across as a very intelligent young man from a great family.”
