Former arms dealer David Packouz compiled a video of his daughter’s childhood memories and revealed never-before-seen photos of his ex-girlfriend. Amabelle Jane, the singer’s 14-year-old daughter, has been raised by him. But he’s never mentioned his child’s mother. So much so that her identity is unknown.
On December 17, 2008, he posted pictures and short videos of his partner on YouTube. In the video titled More Than Anything, he had sung a song for his daughter and compiled old clips of her childhood. The song’s video featured Amabelle from her birth, exposing Packouz’s partner in the process.
The video not only established that Packouz’s ex-girlfriend was of African descent but also established that they were together until Amabelle was a toddler. However, other details about his partner and when they split remain unknown.

In the biopic, Ex-Girlfriend Is Known as “Iz”
By collaborating with former arms dealer Efraim Diveroli, David Packouz completed one of the most significant arms deals in American history. While he was convicted of illegal arms dealing, his thrilling experience was immortalized in the 2015 novel ‘Arms and the Dudes.’ Todd Phillips later adapted the book into the 2016 film War Dogs.
To some extent, the real-life experiences of the two arms dealers have been accurately depicted in the film. As a result, Packouz’s character (played by Miles Teller) can be seen dating a woman named ‘Iz’ (played by Ana de Armas).
Packouz and Iz have a baby girl despite not being married. They then split up due to the illegal nature of Packouz’s business, which appears to have also occurred in real life.
Packouz, after all, admitted that his ex-girlfriend was portrayed in the biopic. He posed with actress Ana de Armas in an Instagram post dated May 20, 2015. Then he confirmed that the actress from Knives Out was playing his ex-girlfriend.
His statement made it clear that his daughter’s mother was not his wife; they had never married. He only had her as a girlfriend.
Has Quality Time With Amabelle Jane Packouz
Packouz’s daughter was born in February 2007. Despite his hectic schedule, he makes time to spend with his daughter. In July 2016, he took his daughter to the holy city of Jerusalem. They went to see the Dome of the Rock and the Western Wall. Both sites have special significance in Islamic culture because they are among the oldest works of Islamic architecture.
Then, during their December 2019 winter vacation, they went skiing in the Hermon mountain area. In addition, for Amabelle’s 14th birthday, they went horseback riding in Monterey, California. From what can be seen, Packouz and his daughter have a wonderful relationship.
Packouz, David From Weapons Dealer to Musician
David joined Efraim Diveroli’s arms company, AEY Inc., after graduating from Miami College in 2003. He was only 23 years old at the time.
Packouz and Diveroli founded AEY Inc. to supply the US government with large quantities of arms and ammunition. Despite their lack of experience and youth, the pair wreaked havoc after stealing major multi-million dollar federal contracts.
However, the company had previously failed to deliver on several contracts, including sending potentially dangerous helmets and failing to deliver 10,000 Beretta pistols to Iraq.
The entrepreneur responded to his associates via email, stating that they needed to remove the crates with Chinese markings because the Chinese products would be rejected. The company repackaged Chinese ammunition, committing fraud.
Following an investigation, it was discovered that the company had violated US government regulations. Packouz was sentenced to seven months in prison for his role in the conspiracy. He appeared to be on a roll when it came to tarnishing his name in the eyes of the United States government.
In 2012, he was arrested again at Motel 82 in Naples after allegedly agreeing to have a physical relationship with an undercover Collier County deputy for $400. Packouz is attempting to make a career change due to the birth of his daughter.
He abandoned his dangerous habits in favor of something more pleasurable: music and singing. This proved to be a wise decision, as he is now the CEO and founder of Singular Sound Company, a music technology company.
