Wehbe's first marriage ended and she later on announced her engagement to a saudi businessman, Tariq Al-Jaffali, surprising many people in the Middle East and around the world. Rumors about the expensive gifts he offered her began to circulate immediately. However, after only a few weeks, she and her fiancée decided to split for personal and family issues. It was believed that her fiancé's family pressured him not to marry her. Due to the sexist Lebanese child custody laws, Wehbe has not seen her children since the divorce. Her ex-husband has engaged in parental alienation for over 10 years during which Haifa has not seen her daughter.
Outside of her love life she has also had an image for being difficult and catty. She has been known to criticize singers for running around in skimpy outfits while herself doing that. She reportedly had issues with her family members, although she denies that, fellow musicians, and her record company.
In 2006 at a concert in the Lebanese town of Juneh, Wehbe made headlines by congratulating Hassan Nasrallah for his stand against Israel during the war on Lebanon saying 'that Lebanon has those who will stand by her and defend her land.
