“When you separate, you restructure your life, but it’s not anything special either: you’ve to take iron out of the matter. It’s true that, with two children, it is emotionally complicated, but I’m not the first and I will not be the last.

“The important thing is that I have the peace of mind of having tried and having done everything I had to do. There are decisions that cannot be made overnight. For me, it’s a premise not to rush in moments of crisis.”

Abouk said she was calm about the divorce situation despite the rape charges against her ex-husband.

It would be recalled that Hakimi was accused of rape back in February, and Abouk later disclosed that the couple were in the middle of a divorce as a result.

It has been alleged that resolving the settlement may pose difficulties since Hakimi has reportedly listed a significant portion of his riches under his mother’s name.

Abouk and Hakimi are parents to two children, Amín and Naim, aged 3 and 1 respectively.

The couple tied the knot in 2020, after getting acquainted in 2018.
