The first teaser for The Real Housewives Of Dubai has been released, and it gave viewers a glimpse at the new cast, including real estate mogul Caroline Brooks. The Afro-Latina divorcee hails from Newton, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, and made her way to Dubai following a brief stay in New York City while interning during college. She's been living among the Dubai elite for the past 11 years.
Caroline initially made her way to the United Arab Emirates through her former husband. The two met while she was climbing the social ladder in NYC. He was living in Dubai at the time, and after a whirlwind romance, the two married, and she left the US to join him there. While the marriage was short-lived, her place in the high society in the Middle Eastern city has been solidified.
The new RHODubai cast member enjoys shopping, traveling the world, and spending time with close friends. And when she's not doing any of those things, Caroline believes in self-care. The influencer is a big promoter of proper skin care and beauty regimes, which is evident in her online presence. Caroline considers herself to be highly motivated in all that she does. Here are a few other things to know about the entrepreneurial housewife.
Caroline's a Single Mom
Caroline keeps a pretty tight lid on when it comes to her marriage to her ex-husband, offering very few details about him or the relationship. However, one thing she is not shy about sharing is her love for the best thing to come from it, her son. Adam, who recently celebrated his tenth birthday, is the apple of Caroline's eye. Caroline, who is on RHODubai with Dr. Sara Al Madani, clearly loves her son as she fills her Instagram with photos of him. Adam is her number one focus over anything else in her life. According to her introduction on BravoTV, Caroline will use "any connections – including her ex-husband's – to cement her and her son’s future."
Caroline's Job
People often think Caroline's lavish lifestyle is the result of a handsome divorce settlement from her ex-husband. The soon-to-be reality star is quick to correct this misconception. Her split from her first husband left her broke, but despite having only completed one year of college, she earned her real estate license and eventually worked her way up to being the executive director of the brokerage firm she works for in Dubai. If that weren't enough to keep this momma busy, Caroline, who is on RHODubai with Chanel Ayan, is also in the process of opening a spa that will bring the modern, urban styles of the United States to the people of Dubai. It is a venture she proudly boasts to Cosmopolitan that she is doing entirely on her own, with no partners.
Caroline's Love Life
While details about her ex-husband are scarce, there are several other influential gentlemen with whom the divorcee RHODubai castmate has been involved with. In 2020, Caroline disclosed that she had previously dated Mombasa governor Hassan Joho. According to an interview with Tuko, she describes the official as "a kind man" who "treated her like a princess." More recently, the real-estate tycoon was involved with Nigerian footballer Odion Jude Ighalo, a striker for the Saudi club Al-Hilal and the Nigeria national team. It is unclear as to whether or not the pair are still together.
The Real Housewives of Dubai is set to debut on June 1, and it will be interesting to see how Caroline fits in with her fellow castmates. She will no doubt bring intensity to this group dynamic. Audiences should be in for a treat as Caroline graces this new installment with her presence.
