In March of 2023, Hiba Abouk announced that she and Hakimi had separated, and she subsequently filed for divorce citing infidelity.
As part of the divorce proceedings, she demanded half of Hakimi’s property as a settlement. Unfortunately, her claim proved fruitless as it was revealed that the footballer did not own any property under his name.
Instead, it was discovered that all his assets were registered under his mother’s name, Saida Mouth, making it legally impossible for Hiba to claim any of them.
