Hiba Abouk, the ex-wife of Moroccan soccer star Achraf Hakimi, posted a photo of herself in a bikini on a beach to her Instagram story. The post was shared shortly before Morocco faced France in a 2026 World Cup quarterfinal match on Thursday.
Abouk, a Spanish-Tunisian actress with over 1.5 million Instagram followers, shared the image accompanied by the caption, "Con los amores de mi vida," which translates to "With the loves of my life." The photo appeared to show her with a child next to her on the beach.
Hakimi, considered Morocco's most talented player and one of the world's top right backs, is a key figure for the team. While not primarily a goal scorer, his contributions have been significant in their World Cup journey.
This is not the first time Abouk has been in headlines related to Hakimi. The couple finalized their divorce in recent years. Hakimi is also facing a separate legal issue, as he is scheduled to stand trial later this year on a rape charge. A woman has accused him of raping her at his Paris home in March 2023, around the time his divorce was finalized. Hakimi has denied any wrongdoing in the case.
