Selome Hailu Caroline Stanbury has signed with CAA for agency representation. Stanbury first starred in the Bravo reality series “Ladies of London,” which followed a “Real Housewives”-like format, and ran for three seasons from 2014 to 2017. She was the show’s breakout cast member, and became known for her cutting, quotable remarks during on-camera arguments.
The show’s series finale, “Dubai Felicia,” featured a goodbye party thrown for Stanbury before she moved to the United Arab Emirates to follow a career opportunity for her then-husband, financier Cem Habib, with whom she has three children. The pair divorced in 2019. In 2021, Bravo greenlit its first international iteration of the “Real Housewives” franchise: “The Real Housewives of Dubai,” which featured Stanbury in a new relationship with ex-Real Madrid soccer player Sergio Carallo during the lead up to their wedding, alongside cast members Chanel Ayan, Caroline Brooks, Sara Al Madani, Lesa Milan and Nina Ali (who will not return for its second season).
Bravo recently announced that Season 2 of “The Real Housewives of Dubai” will premiere on June 2. Stanbury, a former stylist, serves as a luxury brand ambassador for companies including Jacob & Co. Jewelry and Berkeley Assets.
She is currently developing Samsara Nest, a luxury eco retreat in Ubud, Bali, and will be debuting a health and wellness line, Bust The Label, later this year. Along with “Ladies of London” and “The Real Housewives of Dubai,” Stanbury has made television appearances on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” “Dr. Drew,” “E! News” and “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles.” In 2020, she launched the “Uncut & Uncensored Podcast” (formerly known as “Divorced Not Dead”) with Dear Media.
