Hiba Abouk, Achraf Hakimi’s ex-wife, has made her first public speech after the couple’s divorce from the Moroccan player accused of rape in February. Achraf Hakimi is a defender for Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite the accusations against Hakimi, Abouk said she is in a tranquil state of mind. She also revealed that the allegations had led to the couple’s decision to get a divorce.
In an interview with ELLE, Abouk said, “I am fine. There are days when it is like this, and others in which you’ve to know how to take blows and make decisions, sometimes complicated, and get used to new situations. Who would’ve imagined that in addition to facing the usual pain that a separation entails and accepting the grief that the failure of a family project to which I had given myself body and soul entails, I would’ve to face this ignominy. I needed time to digest this shock.”
Abouk continued, “When you separate, you restructure your life, but it’s not anything special either: you’ve to take iron out of the matter. It’s true that, with two children, it is emotionally complicated, but I’m not the first and I will not be the last. The important thing is that I have the peace of mind of having tried and having done everything I had to do. There are decisions that cannot be made overnight. For me, it’s a premise not to rush in moments of crisis.”
However, there have been reports that the settlement could be challenging, as Hakimi has reportedly registered a significant portion of his wealth in his mother’s name. Abouk and Hakimi have two children together, Amín, 3, and Naim, 1. The couple married in 2020, two years after meeting in 2018.
Abouk and her kids are obviously facing a challenging scenario, and it is unclear how the divorce settlement will be settled in the end.
However, Abouk’s cool and collected reaction is commendable, and it’s obvious that she’s placing her own and her kids’ emotional health first during this trying time.
