Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :

  • Dr. Shereene Idriss is a first-generation American born on January 26, 1984. Her siblings and parents are both from Lebanon. Because of the war, she was the only member of her family born in the USA.
  • Dr. Shereene hails originally from Lebanon, as are her parents and sisters. However, she grew up in Washington, DC, and attended a French school. It’s why her accent sounds a bit mixed. It was vital to her mother that they understood their real identity and heritage and did not become utterly transformed by living in the United States. As French is widely spoken in Lebanon, they made her attend a French school.
  • Everyone claims DC is incredibly political, but Dr. Shereene has never felt that way. When she was growing up there, her parents taught her not to rely on anyone and to keep a location-independent career that can be picked up again if one has to relocate. That’s precisely what happened to her father. He arrived in the United States with only his diploma, and the family survived and later thrived because of it.

Married Life and Children :

  • During her final year of residency, Dr. Shereene got married.
  • After nine months of trying unsuccessfully to conceive naturally, Shereene and her husband decided to try IVF in 2016. Mila, their daughter, was born in December 2017 after three rounds of IVF.
  • After another cycle of IVF, she gave birth to her son Laith two years later, around August 2019.
  • How Dr. Shereene met her husband is an interesting story. For years, her now-husband had already been cold-messaging Shereene on Facebook. He was dividing his time between London and Boston, and she had recently gone through a nasty breakup and needed to vent. She reasoned that she would rather vent online to a stranger. Furthermore, as she will never meet him, she can also be much happier. So, the two began conversing for a few months on Facebook and GChat. They began communicating over the phone, and after 2 months, he arrived in London, and the couple hit it off. He’d come over on weekends, and as she’d work hard throughout the week, it worked well to develop their bond. They got engaged over the phone, married over the phone, and later he moved to New York and started living together.
