Boyfriend / Spouse
Amena Khan has dated –
- Osaama Khamkar (2006-Present) – In 2006, she married Osaama Khamkar, who once used to work as an administrator. She often calls him “Hubsy,” short for husband. The couple has 2 children, son Ibraheem, born on May 21, 2009, and a daughter Aleena born on March 18, 2011. Giving birth to her son took hours, while giving birth to her daughter, whom she called Leens, lasted 2 days. It was mainly due to complications due to back labor since her daughter’s face was not face down in the birth canal. In the end, she had to get a pressure point facial to set off labor. With her 2nd pregnancy, she gained 3 stones or 19 kg and only lost around 1 stone or 6.5 kg after giving birth, so the recovery process to normal weight took longer as well.
