Meet Sara Al Madani’s RHODubai love interest Akin Fontana

Do we have a new Real house friend to discuss, Sara Al Madani? During Season 2, Episode 5 of The Real Housewives of DubaiSara and her son Maktoum went on a date with a man named Akin Fontana, who was introduced as “Sara’s boyfriend.” But who exactly is he?

How to watch

Watch “The Real Housewives of Dubai” Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo and stream it the next day on Peacock.

“He is not a friend stillSara explained towards the end of the episode. “I’m old school. I would get to know him, introduce him to the family and then I want to get married. I’m not looking for a date for fun.”

In a confessional, she added that intimacy was something sacred in her world.

“Akin is Muslim, so he knows the culture and traditions,” Sara said, later telling her friends that she planned to wait a few months before introducing him to her parents. But that doesn’t mean We can’t get to know him a little better.

Akin Fontana’s career and background

When we first met him, the handsome guy (he’s a model!) was giggling over coffee with Sara and her son Maktoum.

“It’s been two months since I last saw Akin, and I’m so excited to see him. This time we’re meeting for a bigger reason: I’m deciding whether to put the guy in the friend zone or take him to the next level. And so far, it’s going really well,” Sara explained in a confessional as checkmarks for her three must-haves – nice to Maktoum, spiritual and believes in aliens – appeared on the screen.

Later in the episode, Akin had the pleasure of meeting some of Sara’s closest and dearest people. Luckily, through her questioning, we were able to get a little more information about the man. We found out that he is a sports and streetwear model, that his mother is German, and that he is working on moving to Dubai.

“Wow. You are a very handsome man,” Chanel told Ayan after they were introduced to each other. In a confessional, she added, “Sara knows how to pick them hot and hot.”

According to Akin’s Instagram, he works as a certified personal trainer and divides his time between New York, Germany and Dubai.

Akin Fontana’s relationship with Sara Al Madani’s son Maktoum

At their coffee date, Maktoum told his mother about the time he spent with Akin and how they “drove to five gas stations just to get a slush.”

“So, Akin was babysitting Macky yesterday. It’s not a real test, but it’s a good first test because I need to see if there’s a spark between them or not,” she explained. “I need my son’s approval and his feedback because he wants a father figure so badly. But at the same time, it’s a risk because what if it doesn’t work out, my son gets involved and the guy is gone?”

So it’s safe to say that Maktoum liked Akin. Later in the conversation, he asked the big question directly: “When will you be my father or stepfather?”

Are Sara Al Madani and Akin Fontana still together today?

It is not entirely clear where Sara and Akin stand, although in an interview with The daily dishSara revealed her relationship status and noted that she is single.

“Nothing there and there’s no rush because once you work on yourself, the right person will come along. So still single – haha,” Sara explained via email.

However, that doesn’t mean we might not see more of Aki this season. Keep watching The Real Housewives of Dubai Tuesdays to stay updated on Sara’s love life.
