One sentence, and Yassine Bounou puts months of rumors to rest: “I don't have a wife”

After months of rumors about his private life, Yassine Bounou responded directly to an internet user who mentioned his wife. The Moroccan goalkeeper says he no longer has a wife, without specifying whether a divorce has officially been pronounced.

The response consisted of just a few words. Addressed on Instagram by a follower referring to his wife, the Al-Hilal goalkeeper wrote: “Thank you, but I don’t have a wife,” adding a smiling emoji to his comment.

This statement marks his first public comments that are so clear about his marital situation. It confirms his separation from Imane Khallad, which has been discussed since 2025, but does not establish the date or the legal circumstances of a possible divorce.

The couple, who have a son named Isaac, had always protected their family life. Until now, neither Yassine Bounou nor Imane Khallad had publicly announced the end of their relationship, leaving speculation to multiply on social media.

The goalkeeper’s clarification comes a few days after Nora Fatehi spoke out. The Moroccan-Canadian singer and actress had been questioned about rumors claiming she was in a relationship with the Moroccan international.

Appearing on “The Kris Fade Show” on Virgin Radio Dubai, she described Bounou as “a wonderful person” and “a very good friend.” She also said she was proud of his career and presented him as the best goalkeeper in the world.
