Morocco’s Star Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and Wife Reunite on Instagram Amid Separation Rumors

Rumors of divorce between the Moroccan goalkeeper and his wife began to circulate on social media, after the historic feat of the Atlas Lions at the World Cup in Qatar where the Moroccan team reached the semi-finals. Imane Khallad had stopped following Yassine Bounou on Instagram, which had drawn the attention of Moroccan supporters and sparked some comments on the web.

Last December, the Atlas Lion was named "Best African Goalkeeper" at a gala evening organized by the Confederation of African Football in Marrakech. Bounou was absent from this ceremony, but did not fail to celebrate this achievement with his mother and teammates from Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Imane Khalad’s absence from this party had raised many questions.

Yassine Bounou also celebrated the New Year with a group of celebrities, far from his wife, which had fueled the rumors of their separation. The fact that Imane Khallad has started following her husband on Instagram again is therefore good news, according to Internet users who see this act as a sign of a return to normal in the Bounou couple.

The Moroccan goalkeeper is participating with the Atlas Lions in the Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire. The Moroccan team will play their first match of the competition next Wednesday against Tanzania.
