Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi has cleared the air over one of football's most talked-about financial arrangements, revealing that his mother has managed his money since he was a teenager—not because of marriage or divorce.
Addressing the rumours for the first time, the Moroccan defender explained that his mother took charge of his finances when his football career began to take off. He said the decision was built on trust and has remained unchanged throughout his rise to stardom.
Hakimi firmly rejected claims that the arrangement was created to protect his fortune during his marriage to actress Hiba Abouk or their widely publicised 2023 split. According to him, his mother had been overseeing his finances years before he got married, making the speculation completely unfounded.
The 27-year-old added that he still relies on his mother's guidance for major financial decisions, including investments and property purchases, describing her as the person he trusts most with his earnings.
His comments have revived conversations around the viral divorce rumours that dominated headlines in 2023, with many fans applauding his loyalty to his family while others revisited the misinformation that surrounded his separation.
