Being together means the entire lifestyle changes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking back, the pair agreed that had they got married on the show, their relationship wouldn\u2019t be what it is today. \u201cImagine if, after a month, we got married in that short period\u2014it would have been disastrous. We would\u2019ve torn each other apart,\u201d Dounia said candidly.<\/p>\n<p>Chafic, on the other hand, acknowledged how much he had changed since being with Dounia. \u201cI wasn\u2019t the perfect guy; everyone knew that,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n<p>When pressed on what had shifted, he didn\u2019t hold back saying: \u201cEverything. My lifestyle, where I used to go out, some personal things between me and her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s exactly why the pair have reached a new level of engagement despite the arduous journey. &#8220;Understanding our flaws, I think, helped us to reach where we are now. To a common ground,&#8221; Chafic explained<\/p>\n<p>Despite the obvious challenges, this is just the natural progression of their romance, where they take things &#8220;step by step,&#8221; as Chafic stated.<\/p>\n<h3>WHAT HAPPENED between Dounia and Chafic?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60759\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60759\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60759 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/01\/Chafic-and-Dounia-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/01\/Chafic-and-Dounia-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/01\/Chafic-and-Dounia-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/01\/Chafic-and-Dounia-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/01\/Chafic-and-Dounia-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/01\/Chafic-and-Dounia-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/01\/Chafic-and-Dounia-155x155.jpg 155w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/01\/Chafic-and-Dounia-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/01\/Chafic-and-Dounia.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: @douniabomba and @chafic_yo Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While fans speculated about a breakup, the reality was far less dramatic.<\/p>\n<p>The couple simply took a short break.
