"You can't control everything in life" - PSG superstar Achraf Hakimi's ex-wife Hiba Abouk breaks silence after learning footballer's fortune secret
Model and actress Hiba Abouk has reacted to her divorce from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Achraf Hakimi. Abouk recently filed for divorce from the Moroccan footballer and claimed half the share of the player's fortune.
However, she shockingly came to know that none of Hakimi's wealth was in his name. Rather, the footballer keeps all his assets in his mother's name. Abouk therefore won't receive anything from the player, who earns close to €300,000 per week from his current club.
Hiba Abouk has now reacted to the incident, issuing a statement that read (via The News International):
"Remember, you can't control everything in life, but you can control how you react to it. Let go of the need for perfection, embrace the beauty of the present moment and trust that the universe has your back."
Abouk is a famed personality in her own right. Hence, her request for half of Hakimi's fortune could have been the subject of debate itself as there are doubts over whether she needs any financial support.
Why are PSG star Achraf Hakimi and Hiba Abouk getting divorced?
Hakimi and Abouk first met in 2018 when Hakimi played for Borussia Dortmund. Abouk, a successful actress and 12 years older than the PSG ace, was born in Madrid and is of Libyan and Tunisian descent. The couple tied the knot in 2020 and have two sons, Amin and Naim, born in 2020 and 2022.
Abouk and the PSG right-back made the decision to separate before the latter was alleged to have sexually assaulted a 24-year-old woman in February. Reasons for their prior separation have not yet been made public, but Hakimi's sexual assault saga seems to have added fuel to the fire.
Following the accusations, Abouk publicly supported her husband, stating via her Instagram that all the accusations made against him were not true. She also stated that the pain of her divorce proceedings has been compounded due to a project not taking off as it should have. She signed off by stating that she has belief in the legal process and that she will always side with victims in such cases.
