French model and reality TV star Marine El Himer has converted to Islam, saying these moments mark the “happiest day” of her life. Himer shared her photos in hijab near the Kaaba, Islam’s holiest site in Mecca, on Saturday, two days after she announced she had accepted “There are no words strong enough to express the intensity of happiness and emotions experienced at this very moment. A spiritual journey that I hope will continue to uplift and guide me, Insha Allah,” she posted on Instagram. She added that this was “a choice of soul, heart, and reason.” Himer featured on the reality television show Les Princes et les Princesses de l’Amour (The Princes and Princesses of Love) in France.
