Who is Kelly Fisher?
Kelly Fisher, a property developer and former model, was once engaged to Dodi Al-Fayed. She had a successful modeling career, working with major brands like Armani and Calvin Klein. Born in 1967, Kelly spent her early years in Kentucky before moving to Toronto as a teenager, where she began her modeling journey.
How Did She Meet Dodi Al-Fayed and How Long Were They Together?
Kelly met Dodi Al-Fayed, an Egyptian film producer, in the summer of 1996 in Paris. They became engaged in February 1997 and had plans to move into a mansion in Malibu that Dodi had purchased. Their wedding was scheduled for August 9, 1997. Kelly was so committed to their future that she gave up her career at Dodi’s request. In return, she received a £2,000-a-day allowance.
However, just two days before their wedding, on August 7, 1997, Dodi ended their relationship over the phone. This was the same day his relationship with Princess Diana became public. The first picture of Dodi and Diana, known as “The Kiss,” was released shortly after. Kelly was actually in St Tropez at the time, staying aboard another yacht owned by the Fayed family. Heartbroken, she returned to California and announced plans to sue Dodi for emotionally leaving her at the altar. She even gave a tell-all interview with a newspaper, revealing details about their relationship.
Where is Kelly Fisher Now?
Kelly now resides in Aiken, South Carolina. She has spoken about the impact the events of 1997 had on her, describing it as a terrible experience. To make matters worse, Dodi’s father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, who denied their engagement and accused Kelly of being a “gold-digger,” added to her pain. Despite the controversy and drama surrounding her, Dodi, and Diana, Kelly has put everything behind her and moved on.
In 2017, she mentioned in an interview with The Sun that seeing the pictures of Diana and Dodi together broke her heart, but the most heartbroken she ever was, and still is, happened when he died. Kelly still keeps the engagement ring from Dodi as a memento of their time together.
What Does Kelly Fisher Do for a Living?
After leaving her modeling career behind, Kelly transitioned into property development. Since the tragic events of 1997, she has largely stayed out of the spotlight, focusing on her work.
