Major Ali Iyad Yakub, an attorney and Marine veteran who goes by the nickname “Yado,” is married to CBS News’ Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan.

 

Yakub and Brennan first met at the University of Virginia in 1998. But they didn’t become a couple until 2013 after they both had moved to Washington, D.C. for their respective careers. Yakub popped the question during a trip to their alma mater. They got married in 2015 and are the parents of a young son named Eamon.

 

Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Yakub & Brennan Met in College in 1998 But Sparks Did Not Fly Until 2013

 

Brennan said around the time of their wedding that it was all about timing. She met Yakub at the University of Virginia when she was a freshman and he was a senior. She thought he partied too much. Yakub told the New York Times that while he thought Brennan was attractive, he also thought she was too conservative and serious. He described her as being “very Connecticut.”

 

Years later, the two reconnected after both had moved to Washington, D.C. They ran into each other by chance while Brennan was walking her dog in February of 2013. Yakub invited her to his housewarming party. That led to several weeks of emailing and dinner dates. Yakub told the Washington Post, “When she let her guard down, I liked what I saw. I like the fact that she’s down to earth.” Brennan was equally surprised to learn a different side of Yakub, one she had not known in college.

 

They got married in April of 2015.

  1. Yakub & Brennan’s Son’s Name, Eamon, Pays Tribute to Both of Their Backgrounds

 

Yakub is Syrian-American while Brennan’s family has Irish roots. It was important to them to honor both of their backgrounds when choosing a name for their son. Eamon Brennan Yakub was born on September 11, 2018, at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. Brennan had announced she was pregnant earlier in the year during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

 

Brennan and Yakub explained to CBS News that the name “Eamon” is significant in both Irish and Syrian culture. The name means “guardian” in Irish and “righteous” in Arabic. Brennan said they picked the name during a trip to Ireland.

 

When the new parents brought Eamon home from the hospital, Brennan said she was also excited to introduce him to their dog, Callie. A few days before Eamon was born, Brennan posted a photo of Callie to Instagram with the caption, “Happy 3rd birthday to our Callie! She’ll soon be a big sister to a little human & we’re not quite sure how she feels about it.”

>Ali ‘Yado’ Yakub, Margaret Brennan’s Husband: 5 Fast Facts

 

  1. Yado Yakub Is the Son of a Doctor & a Teacher; His Sister Was Brennan’s Roommate When She Studied Abroad in Jordan

 

Yakub was born on July 23, 1977. His father, Dr. Y. Nabil Yakub, is a nephrologist, which means he specializes in treating kidney problems. He works at Inova Fairfax Hospital and has more than 50 years of medical experience. According to his hospital profile, Dr. Yakub studied at the American University of Beirut and completed his fellowship at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.

 

Yakub’s mother, Rolana, taught preschool in McLean, Virginia, the New York Times reported.

 

Yakub’s younger sister, Samia, is close friends with his wife. Samia and Brennan both studied abroad in Jordan during the summer of 2000 and were roommates, the Washington Post reported. After Brennan moved to Washington, D.C., she reconnected with Samia, who told her that her brother had become a lawyer and a Marine.

  1. Yakub Earned His Law Degree From the University of Miami; He Wrote a Dissertation About Democracy & Islam

 

Yakub earned his law degree from the University of Miami. According to Avvo, a website that lists attorneys in each state, Yakub earned his legal license in the state of Florida in 2004. That license has since expired.

 

Yakub wrote a dissertation titled “The Islamic Roots Of Democracy.” It was published in 2005 by the University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review. In the paper, Yakub lays out an argument for why the principles of Islam support democratic ideals.

 

“Muslim jurists generally agree that the Qur’an does not specify a particular form of government. It does, however, identify essential norms to be promoted in an Islamic state: the pursuit of justice through social cooperation and mutual assistance; the establishment of a nonautocratic, consultative method of governance; and the institutionalization of mercy and compassion in social interactions.

 

While Americans may not equate the typical Muslim scholar with such liberal political thinkers as Madison or Jefferson, the issue of reform strikes a chord with a number of important jurists in the Muslim world. One such jurist, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, issued a religious opinion (fatwa) in response to those who argue democracy is unIslamic. He argued that democracy empowers the community by giving people the right to choose their leaders without compulsion, to question them when they err, and to depose them when they fail to uphold their duties to those they govern, ideas that are all consistent with the tenets of Islam.”

  1. Yakub Worked as a Judge Advocate for the Marine Corps at the Pentagon

 

Yakub is a Major in the United States Marine Corps. Before moving to Washington, D.C. in 2012, he had been stationed at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, as explained in he and Brennan’s wedding announcement. The base is located in Twentynine Palms, a city in San Bernardino County in California.

 

Yakub moved to Washington, D.C. for a congressional fellowship. He went on to work at the Pentagon. According to his LinkedIn profile, Yakub served as a judge advocate for the Marine Corps beginning in January 2007. The recruiting website explains that it is a grueling process to become a Judge Advocate:

 

“To practice law as a Marine Officer is a distinction reserved for the Few who have what it takes, mentally, morally and physically, to become a leader of Marines. Prior to becoming a Judge Advocate General (JAG) lawyer you must graduate from law school, complete Officer Candidates School and follow on officer training at The Basic School… By completing your training, you will prove to yourself and to our Corps that you have what it takes to win as a Marine Officer and Judge Advocate alongside the world’s greatest warriors.”

 

It was unclear whether Yakub was still serving as a judge advocate as of this writing. According to his LinkedIn profile, Yakub started working for software company SAS in September 2019 as its Senior Strategic Advisor for Southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. His role at the Pentagon did not include an end date.

Margaret Brennan, Yado Yakub

It Took Time but Was Worth It

April 12, 2015

 

Margaret Mary Brennan and Maj. Ali Iyad Yakub were married Saturday evening at the Decatur House in Washington. The Rev. Raymond Kemp, a Roman Catholic priest, officiated.

The bride, 35, is keeping her name. She is a Washington-based correspondent for CBS News, covering national security and foreign policy.

She is a daughter of Jane L. Brennan and Edward J. Brennan of Washington Crossing, Pa. The bride’s father is a senior director at the Guardian Life Insurance Company of America in New York. Her mother is the head of the craft program for the Bucks County Neighbors, an education program for seniors, and teaches art history and art appreciation to elementary school students in the Pennsbury School District in Pennsbury, Pa.

The groom, 37, is known as Yado. He serves as a judge advocate in the Marine Corps and is stationed at the Pentagon. He received a law degree from the University of Miami.

He is a son of Rolana I. Yakub and Dr. Y. Nabil Yakub of McLean, Va. The groom’s mother is a preschool teacher at Country Day School in McLean. His father is a nephrologist at Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va.

Ms. Brennan and Mr. Yakub met September 1998, at the University of Virginia, from which they later graduated, Ms. Brennan with highest distinction.

At the time, however, he was a senior, and she was a freshman. And it was not exactly love at first sight.

“I thought she was attractive but very serious,” he said, and perhaps worse, “very Connecticut.”

“I think ‘very Connecticut’ was code for uptight,” said Ms. Brennan, who attended an all-girls Catholic high school in Greenwich before enrolling at Virginia.

She saw Mr. Yakub as “a bit of a party boy.”

They went their separate ways, and the next time he appeared on her radar screen was in the summer of 2000, between Ms. Brennan’s sophomore and junior years at Virginia. During that time, she studied abroad for a semester of Arabic at Yarmouk University in Irbid, Jordan, and Mr. Yakub’s sister was one of her apartment mates in an all-women dorm just off campus.

“The program was very intense, so there was no time to think about anything else,” Ms. Brennan said. “Yado’s name came up occasionally, but I wasn’t thinking about him in any special way at that time.”

Three years later, Mr. Yakub resurfaced again through a mutual friend who was dating Ms. Brennan. “I was living in Manhattan, and my boyfriend and I were in Miami, where Yado was attending law school,” she said, “and he decided to call Yado and invite him out to dinner. It was a real casual thing.”

In June 2012, Ms. Brennan, who was now unattached, moved to Washington, where Mr. Yakub’s sister was living. Two months later, the two women reconnected.

“Yado’s name came up again,” Ms. Brennan said. “I got a kick out of hearing that he was in the military and a lawyer as well. He was someone I had remembered in T-shirts and flip-flops at Virginia.”

As it turned out, Mr. Yakub had moved to Washington in December 2012 to begin a congressional fellowship. He had been stationed at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, Calif.

On a February Sunday in 2013, Ms. Brennan was walking her dog on a Washington street when she ran into Mr. Yakub, who was waiting for a bus.

“It was an incredible, crazy coincidence,” she said.

He invited her to a party he was hosting at his apartment the next month, and she attended. By the end of that night, Ms. Brennan said that she had come to realize that the frat boy she had known in college “had become this incredibly sophisticated, cultured, smart and really fun guy, and he was cute, too.”

They exchanged emails and began dating in June 2013. By July, they were a couple.

“It’s a pretty crazy series of events that got us together,” Mr. Yakub said. “I always thought she was too uptight, but I had never really taken the time to get to know her. Once we began talking, I realized that she was a very warm, very down-to-earth person.”

On Love: Margaret Brennan and Yado Yakub

Margaret Brennan gave herself five years to become a broadcast journalist. Within two years, she was in front of the camera and, by age 26, had landed her first on-air contract. She has covered such top news stories as the European debt crisis, the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak live from Tahrir Square and, most recently, U.S. nuclear negotiations with Iran.

“Most Americans travel through their TVs, not with their passports,” says the Washington-based CBS correspondent, who primarily covers national security and foreign policy for the network.

Maj. Ali Iyad Yakub, who goes by the nickname Yado, seemed to take a more relaxed approach to life before going to law school and becoming a judge advocate in the U.S. Marine Corps.

The couple first met in 1998 at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Margaret, a freshman, and Yado, a senior, were acquaintances, sharing only occasional greetings when passing on U-Va.’s Lawn.

“It was a matter of timing,” Margaret says. “Both of us agree that we never would have dated each other back in college.”

How to re-wear bridesmaid dresses

Designers have begun shifting the aesthetic of bridesmaid dresses to more closely mirror ready-to-wear pieces, making re-wearing easier than ever. Styling by Cara Kelly, makeup by Shaune Hayes Makeup and hairstyling by Roshaunda Jenkins with Beautiful Becomings.

The two ran in different circles. “I thought she was too conservative, too preppy, too ‘New England,’ ” Yado recalls. “She thought I was a bit wild and partied a bit much.”

In the summer of 2000, Margaret studied abroad at Yarmouk University in Irbid, Jordan, on a Fulbright-Hays grant. The trip proved life-changing in more ways than one. She honed her passion for travel, learned about the complexities of international affairs and happened to share an apartment with her future sister-in-law, Samia Yakub. The two became friends and traveled together, even visiting Samia and Yado’s grandmother in Damascus.

In June 2012, when Margaret moved to Washington from New York to work for CBS, she and Samia reconnected on Facebook. Over dinner, Samia mentioned that her brother also was returning to the area for a fellowship on Capitol Hill.

Margaret got a kick out of learning that the “T-shirts and flip-flops, boyish, not regimented” student had become not only a lawyer, but also a Marine. “That was not at all how I remembered him,” she says.

Nine months later, while touring open houses on 16th Street, Margaret noticed an attractive guy waiting at the bus stop. As she got closer, she realized it was Yado. They chatted briefly, and he invited her to his housewarming party the next month.

Margaret attended the party with mutual friends, but it wasn’t until the end of the night that the two visited again. Yado handed her his business card and suggested they meet to “compare notes” on the District. She wasn’t sure whether he was interested in her or simply networking.

Over the next several weeks, they exchanged e-mails and, despite their busy schedules, met for drinks and dinners. Margaret says she considered those get-togethers dates, but Yado saw the outings as two newcomers to the city just getting together.

Trends from Bridal Fashion Week

Layered skirts, tulle, column shapes and intricate accessories emerged as trends from top bridal designers this spring.

“We went on a few dates — well, at least I thought they were dates. . . . I wore a cute dress! If we were just hanging out, I would have put my jeans on,” Margaret says jokingly.

>On Love: Margaret Brennan and Yado Yakub

 

Eight weeks later, the two shared their first kiss. “I was definitely taking it slow, really slow. I wasn’t in a rush,” Yado says. “I know it can intrigue a girl when that’s the case.”

The more time the two spent together, the more Margaret discovered a different side of Yado — one that was “calm, intellectually curious, regimented and composed.”

“He listened really well, to the conversation and the follow-up. I was really struck by that because that’s often not the case,” she says. “He wants to fully understand, be empathetic, be present and in the moment.”

Yado was similarly captivated. “When she let her guard down, I liked what I saw,” he says. “I like the fact that she’s down to earth, in spite of who she is and what she is. Once I realized that . . . it really surprised me and intrigued me.”

The two became a couple that summer and, five months later, decided to embark on a trip to Thailand. “We saw how well we traveled together,” Margaret recalls. “We were both up for exploring. . . . Both of us didn’t want to go back to the hotel to take naps because we didn’t want to miss a moment.” Yado described the experience as “pure happiness.”

As soon as they returned to the States, Yado contacted a jeweler and, unbeknownst to Margaret, bought an engagement ring.

On March 15, 2014, Yado picked Margaret up at Andrews Air Force Base, where she had just returned from covering Secretary ofState John F. Kerry’s attempts to negotiate a peace deal in Ukraine,and the two drove to Charlottesville for a day-long getaway. After visiting local wineries, the two stopped by their alma mater. Jet-lagged and hungry, Margaret walked ahead briskly on the U-Va. Lawn, eager to leave and get to dinner. But she felt a pull on her arm, turned around and saw Yado dropping to one knee on the spot where they had met more than 15 years before.

He told her: “If I would have known then what I know now about you, I wouldn’t have waited so long to propose to you.” Shocked, Margaret says she “almost blacked out.”

The next morning, the two drove back to Washington in time for Margaret to appear on “Face the Nation.”

“We had a two-week moratorium on wedding planning, but the next morning . . . I woke up and saw my mom had already started a Pinterest [wedding] page,” Margaret says with a laugh.

Two weeks before the festivities, Margaret was still coordinating last-minute details from her hotel in Switzerland, where she was covering the Iran nuclear talks.

“You have long days with very little information coming out, but you’re on edge all the time,” she says. “I was trying to do seating assignments and answer e-mails in the midst of all that. I had to keep rescheduling my wedding dress fitting because we kept getting the talks extended.”

On April 11, Margaret, 35, married Yado, 37, at the historic Decatur House in downtown Washington. The ceremony blended the couple’s two cultures: The bride is Irish American, and the groom is Syrian American. Bagpipes played as Margaret, wearing a Monique Lhuillier gown and a floor-length veil, walked down the aisle and as the couple left the ceremony under a traditional military saber arch.

The 191 guests — including CBS News president David Rhodes and “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer, who recently announced his retirement — listened to a Middle Eastern quartet during the cocktail hour and danced the dabke, a folk Arabic dance, at the reception. Two days later, the newlyweds jetted off on a 16-day honeymoon with stops in South Africa, Mauritius and the Seychelles.

A few days before the wedding, Margaret said she was most looking forward to “turning and seeing everyone you love in one place.” Yado agreed. “I think the wedding is going to be a great mix of our two worlds. I’m just going to take it all in, look at all the faces in the crowd and not let a moment pass by too quickly.”

they highlighted their concern about increasing extremism in our society and in particular in the military and they

17:02

17:09

and we actually spoke with folks in the administration and in various agencies as well as on the hill and basically

17:15

everyone said look we know this is an issue there are you congressional committees set up to study this the a
