Inez Khan was born in February 2007.
However, the relationship of Inez Khan’s parents has been quite controversial.
In 1990, Inez Khan’s mum Laila Rouass married family friend Abdeslam Rouass, but they divorced in 2003, after which she lived with London businessman Nasir Khan.
After facing criticism for misleadingly describing herself as married to Nasir Khan, Laila Rouass explained that the couple had held a religious ceremony in 2005 before friends and family, pledging to spend their lives together, at which point she considered herself “married in the eyes of God,” even though the ceremony had no legal standing.
Laila Rouass became pregnant in 2006 but ended her relationship with Nasir Khan shortly after their daughter Inez was born in February 2007.
Laila Rouass is best known for her portrayals of Amber Gates in Footballers’ Wives and Sahira Shah in Holby City.

Laila Rouass has also starred in Primeval and Spooks and been a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, in which she finished fourth.
