Rashida was 22 years old when she tied the knot with Fayez. They have two sons, Adam and Yousif.

During a campaign in 2018, one of Rashida’s spokespersons referred to her as a single mother.

Rashida and her ex-husband were born in the same month. Rashida was born on July 24, 1976, while Fayez was born on 1st July 1976.

Fayez was born in Beit Ur al-Fauqa, a Palestinian village in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate in the Northern West Bank.

Fayez has remained out of public life, and there is no information about him and where he is.

Born on July 24, 1976, Rashida began her political career in 2004 when she interned with State Representative Steve Tobocman. When Tobocman became Majority Floor Leader in 2007, he hired Tlaib to his staff.

Tlaib won the Democratic nomination for the United States House of Representatives seat from Michigan’s 13th congressional district in 2018.

She ran unopposed in the general election and became the first woman of Palestinian descent in Congress, the first Muslim woman to serve in the Michigan legislature, and one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, along with Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
