Ilhan Omar Net Worth, Career, Biography, Ethnicity and Personal Life

In 2002, Omar got engaged to Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi (né Aden), with whom she had an unofficial, faith-based Islamic marriage.

They had two children together, including Isra Hirsi, a key organizer of the school strike for climate change in the US. Omar stated that she and Hirsi divorced within their faith tradition in 2008.

In 2009, Omar married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British Somali.

She claimed that in 2011, she and Elmi had a faith-based divorce, and she reconciled with Hirsi, with whom she had a third child in 2012.

Elmi and Omar legally divorced in 2017, and she and Hirsi legally married in 2018.

However, on October 7, 2019, Omar filed for divorce from Hirsi, citing an “irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage. The divorce was finalized on November 5, 2019.

In March 2020, Omar married Tim Mynett, a political consultant. Mynett’s firm, the E Street Group, received $2.78 million in contracts from Omar’s campaign during the 2020 cycle.

The campaign’s contract with Mynett’s firm drew criticism from her Democratic primary opponent and conservative critics, which received significant local and national media attention.

On November 17, 2020, Omar’s campaign terminated its contract with Mynett’s firm, aiming to ensure transparency and avoid any perceived issues with campaign support.

In 2020, HarperCollins published Omar’s memoir, “This Is What America Looks Like,” co-written with Rebecca Paley.
