With the conversation moving on to relationships, the actress revealed that she would be interested in getting married again, but is "still waiting to meet the right person." “I’m not in a romantic relationship right now" Joumana said, "But I do hope I meet a man who understands me and my work and helps me develop as a person. I always live in love and happiness." As Ramadan nears an end, the Syrian star told Arab Today that she spent the Islamic month in Cairo with her family. "I prefer to spend Ramadan with my family. I try to make various dishes, incorporating Syrian and Egyptian food. During this month, I pray, fast and read Quran, and attempt to be closer to the deity I believe in" she concluded.
