Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi has undoubtedly been one of the stand-out stars of the World Cup.
The North African nation became the first side from the continent to reach the World Cup semi-finals after knocking out Portugal on Saturday.
It followed gargantuan displays against Spain, Canada and Belgium previously to become one of the tournament’s surprise packages.
Leading the underdogs to glory has been Paris Saint-Germain superstar Hakimi – the 24-year-old demonstrating defensive steel alongside his trademark surging runs on the right flank.
But while his performances have captured the imagination and hearts of fans from across the Arab world and beyond, many will be unfamiliar with his wife – Hiba Abouk.
Abouk, 36, is a gorgeous actress of Tunisian and Libyan descent who was also born in Madrid. She starred alongside the footballer on the cover of Vogue Arabia in October.
They married two years after meeting in 2020. Hakimi, now 24, welcomed a son named Amin that year and another boy this year.
They now live together in Paris – the city where they met – and where the footballer plays alongside his best friend and semi-final rival Kylian Mbappe.
