Fayrouz, who recently graduated from ESIGELEC Graduate School of Engineering in France, is of Beninese and French descent.

Fancy had previously hinted that she would be tying the knot in 2025.

She shared a humorous video on her social media, in which a woman complained about not having enough money, with a caption that humorously linked it to her wedding plans:

“My bank account as an engaged 22-year-old student planning a wedding in 2025.”
