DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES: 'Real Housewives of Dubai' Season 2 star Sara Al Madani has ended her relationship with Akin Fontana, citing concerns that he was 'thirsty' and 'controlling.' The reality star, who met Fontana last year, decided to part ways after only a few months when she began to see his true colors.

In a recent episode of the 'Virtual Reali-Tea' podcast, Sara Al Madani discussed her breakup and described Akin Fontana as 'extremely controlling.' She revealed that he questioned her fidelity, forbidding her from working out at co-ed gyms and expressing insecurity about her having a male trainer. Additionally, Al Madani claimed that Fontana often accused her of seeing other men, which the Bravo star found suspicious and hired a private investigator.

Al Madan shared, "I hired a detective because he always accused me of doing weird things." She added, "I'd be in my room sleeping. He's like, 'You're with somebody.' I'll be giving a speech in a hotel, I'll be in the hotel room after my speech dead, and he's like, 'Oh, you are with somebody.'" Al Madani was notably fed up with Fontana's behaviour and decided it was better to split.
