PSG Star Achraf Hakimi’s Marriage in Crisis Amid Rape Allegations

The couple officially announced their relationship in 2018 and got married in 2020 after having their first son, Amin. The second child, Naim, was born in February of last year. The rumor of a crisis in the couple had circulated at the beginning of the year, but Hiba Abouk had denied the information, assuring that everything was going well between her and her husband, Achraf Hakimi. But after the outbreak of the rape case of which the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defender is accused, the actions of the Spanish actress of Lebanese-Tunisian origin have highlighted the depth of the crisis, far beyond what had initially been perceived.

Hiba Abouk did not accompany Achraf Hakimi to the FIFA The Best gala held on Monday, a few hours after the publication of the information about the opening of an investigation for rape targeting the Moroccan player by the newspaper Le Parisien. A few days later, she deleted many photos of herself with her husband from her Instagram account, leaving only photos dating back six months and others like the Vogue cover where they posed. Last summer, Hiba would have confided to her close friends that the age and mentality difference between her and her husband were causing tensions in the couple. The actress wanted to spend family time with her husband and their two children, while the footballer only thought about partying night after night.

After her studies at the French high school at the age of 18, Hiba decided to become an actress, which was not well received by her parents. The young woman studied Arabic linguistics and obtained a degree in dramatic arts from the Royal Superior School of Dramatic Art (RESAD). After some immersion in the world of advertising and a difficult career path, she was revealed in the series "El Principe" broadcast on Telecinco. "When I started and sent photos, they told me they wanted a Spaniard. I am Spanish. That they wanted her without an accent. I don’t have an accent. And you realize how hard it is to make your way," the now famous actress who speaks fluent Arabic, French, English and Italian recounts.

In an interview with the magazine Yo Dona, Hiba declared about the role she played in El Principe: "I’m a bit tired of poor Arab women, look how they’re treated... I’ve decided not to be a submissive woman. It’s very hard." The Spanish actress has had several partners. After her relationship with the interpreter of ’Los Hombres de Paco’, she started a relationship with Nani Cortés in 2014, and a year later she was with Curro Sánchez, before officially announcing her relationship with Hakimi three years later. The couple has a 12-year age difference (36 and 24 years old).
