Omar reportedly married him in a religious ceremony in 2002 … but the union was not recognized legally. The couple had 2 children together, but separated in 2008.

She went on to marry another man named Ahmed — British citizen Ahmed Elmi — in Minneapolis in 2009 … and this time it was official with legal docs and everything. However, they reportedly split in 2011 and he returned to the UK … but they weren’t legally divorced until 2017.

Meanwhile, Oman reconciled with Hirsi in 2012 and they had another child together … while she was still legally married to Elmi.
