Rapper Bushido has proposed to his wife Anna-Maria Ferchichi for the second time. On the occasion of her birthday, he booked a holiday together in Abu Dhabi, the musician said in an Instagram video on Wednesday. There he then surprised her at dinner with the proposal.

On Instagram, Bushido showed off the couple's hotel room, which had been decorated with photos and flowers for Ferchichi's birthday. The rapper also shared a glimpse of the romantic dinner on the beach where he re-proposed to his wife. Last year she had to spend her birthday with the then newborn triplets in the hospital, Ferchichi said in the video. Because of the Corona requirements, her husband was not allowed to stay with her for long. She cried alone in the room, she said.

As the couple continued in the video, both had wanted to renew their vows on their tenth wedding anniversary. Because of the corona disease in the babies, it "fell into the water," said Ferchichi. She then thought about catching up on the second wedding for the 15th or 20th anniversary. "But let's do it now," Bushido said. The diamond ring for the second engagement comes from the US jewelry chain Tiffany, as the rapper also showed on Instagram.

Bushido, whose real name is Anis Mohamed Ferchichi, and his wife have been married since May 2012. The couple have seven children together. Anna-Maria also has a son from her first marriage.
