Hiba Abouk speaks out following divorce from Achraf Hakimi amidst rape charges
Hiba Abouk, the ex-wife of Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi, has broken her silence following their rocky divorce, amidst the backdrop of rape charges against Hakimi.
Abouk revealed that she was at peace with the situation but needed time to come to terms with the shock.
Abouk further disclosed that the couple had been going through a divorce process since Hakimi’s accusation of rape in February.
The allegations against Hakimi have caused turmoil in their relationship, leading to their eventual separation.
However, resolving the settlement of the divorce may pose difficulties, as it has been alleged that Hakimi has listed a significant portion of his wealth under his mother’s name.
This may complicate the division of assets and financial matters between Abouk and Hakimi.
Speaking to ELLE, Hakimi’s ex-wife 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.”
Hiba Abouk added, “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.
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.”
Abouk and Hakimi are parents to two young children, Amín and Naim, aged 3 and 1 respectively. The couple tied the knot in 2020, after getting acquainted in 2018.
The current circumstances surrounding their divorce and the rape charges against Hakimi have drawn attention to their high-profile relationship and the challenges they are facing.
Abouk’s statement comes as a glimpse into her perspective on the situation, as she navigates the aftermath of the divorce and copes with the shock of the rape allegations against her former spouse.
The case involving Hakimi’s rape charges is still ongoing, and the legal proceedings may have an impact on the divorce settlement and the future of Abouk and Hakimi’s relationship.
