Marina Ruy Barbosa reportedly pauses engagement amid family dispute
Marina Ruy Barbosa reportedly asked for a break from her relationship with businessman Abdul Fares about four months ago.
The couple have been engaged since October 2023 and had planned to marry in France in March 2027.
A long-running dispute in Fares’s family is said to have led her to question the couple’s future.
Reports say she tried to bring his relatives closer but was unable to reconcile them.
She is reportedly concerned about the dispute’s effect on a future family, and about money being put ahead of family relationships.
The wedding remains planned for March 2027, and reconciliation has not been ruled out.
The actress’s representatives had not responded to a request for comment when one report was published.
Marina Ruy Barbosa reportedly asked for a pause in her engagement to Abdul Fares about four months before the reports published on October 16, 2026.

The couple’s wedding was still reported to be planned for France in March 2027, and reconciliation was said not to be ruled out.
