Baschar al-Assad - Married couple (since 2000) -
Asma al-Assad
Asma probably met her future husband Bashar al-Assad during his study stay in London in the early 1990s. It is only known that the two remained in contact after Baschar's return to Syria in 1994. The marriage in December 2000, shortly after Bashar al-Assad's government start, surprisingly took place for outsiders. Three children emerged from the marriage.
