Biography Alice Abou-Khalil was born in 1971 in Lebanon. She is the daughter of a Lebanese father, Robert Abou-Khalil, originally from Blaybel in southeastern Beirut, who died in Quebec in 2021, and a Serbian mother named Ksenia. In 1988, during her adolescence, a shell explosion in the family garden shattered the windows of their home in the village of Aïn Alak, east of Beirut. This event prompted the family to relocate to Canada. Her parents later opened a restaurant in Longueuil, on Montreal's South Shore.
