A Video Clip Shows the Hand of Their Newborn “Elias” Nassif Zeytoun and Daniella Rahme Receive Congratulations and Well Wishes

Syrian singer Nassif Zeytoun and his wife, Lebanese actress Daniella Rahme, welcomed their first child, naming him Elias after Nassif’s father, in a warm family moment they shared with the public via social media.

The couple announced the news through an emotional black-and-white video featuring close-up shots of their newborn’s hand, accompanied by a caption bearing the name Elias alongside a white heart emoji, reflecting simplicity and love, as they received an outpouring of congratulations and well wishes.

Preparations Before Birth

Earlier, Daniella Rahme had spoken candidly about her preparations for welcoming her first child, expressing great excitement and describing the stage as a “real workshop” at home to prepare the baby’s room. She joked: “The baby needs so many things, I’m emptying Nassif’s closets to make space, and I told him he’s not allowed to buy anything anymore.”

For his part, Nassif Zeytoun revealed the mixed feelings of anxiety and anticipation he experienced before learning the baby’s gender, explaining that Daniella had hoped for a girl, while he was visibly nervous. He said spontaneously: “Elias is coming… Daniella wanted a girl, and my hand was on my heart.”

He added that his mother advised him not to focus on the baby’s gender and to simply pray that the child would be healthy. However, he did not hide his wish for a boy, saying: “I truly hoped it would be a boy. Some might see it as a small detail, but these are my real feelings… I wanted to bring back my father’s name, and for people to say ‘Abu Elias.’”

It is worth noting that Nassif Zeytoun and Daniella Rahme celebrated their wedding on July 1 last year after a love story, choosing to hold the ceremony in Lebanon away from the spotlight, banning photography during the event, before later sharing wedding photos with their followers on Instagram.
