ACHRAF Hakimi’s wife has broken her silence to confirm she has separated from the Paris St-German player after he was charged with rape.

Spanish-Tunisian actress Hiba Abouk , 36, took to her Instagram page to update her 1.7million followers telling them that she and her husband were no longer together.

She wrote: “The reality is that a while ago, after a lot of reflection, the father of my children and I made the decision to end our relationship, long before the recent media events that have involved me, which are totally external.”

Abouk also referenced the “pain” and “grief” she experienced due to the separation and the “failure of a family project to which [she] had given [her] body and soul.”

She added she did not imagine in addition to facing the “usual pain that comes with a separation,” she would also have to confront “this shame” as well.

Abouk said: “I needed time to digest this shock.”

Earlier this month, French prosecutors confirmed today the World Cup ace , 24, has been placed under judicial supervision on preliminary charges of rape.

He is accused of raping the woman after inviting her to his home while his wife was on holiday with their kids.

Reports in her native Spain claim TV actress Hiba had already been estranged from him for weeks.

They have not been seen together in public for months.

And following the rape allegation she is “accelerating” proceedings to separate for good, according to Cierre Digital.

A previous Instagram post shows Abouk walking on a Dubai beach with her two young sons.

She captioned it “Adding moments”, and added the hashtags “family first” and one translating as “I’d die for mine”.

Madrid -born Hakimi – who plays for Morocco – is known as the north African nation’s answer to David Beckham .

In December he became a national hero when his winning penalty against Spain put Morocco through to the World Cup quarter-final for the first time.

He met Spanish actress Hiba while playing for Borussia Dortmund and they married in a secret ceremony in 2020.

Their first son was born that year and another two years later.

In October the A-list couple posed together in a stunning photoshoot in Vogue Arabia .

Hakimi “strongly denies” the rape allegation, his lawyer Fanny Colin said.

She added the decision to investigate him would give him the opportunity to defend himself.

According to Le Parisien , Hakimi had been talking to the alleged victim on Instagram since January 16.

He allegedly paid for an Uber to drive her to his home in a Paris suburb.

She claimed he assaulted her before she was able to free herself by kicking him then texted a friend to pick her up.

The woman went to a police station on Sunday, but reportedly said she did not want to press charges.

Prosecutors launched an investigation due to the seriousness of the allegations.

Lionel Messi struggled to hold back the tears as he and his Argentina team-mates received an incredible homecoming following their World Cup triumph.

Messi and co. played on home turf for the first time since lifting the trophy on Thursday (March 23), hosting Panama in a friendly. There were special scenes before the match as the 83,000-strong crowd gave them a hero’s welcome at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires.

A firework display was held while the teams lined up on the pitch, with the home fans chanting loud enough to have raised the roof – if there was one.

Their serenading left the whole team on the verge of tears. Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez was visibly emotional and Messi looked particularly choked up.

Once the game got underway, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner was once again the star of the show. He twice hit the woodwork with free-kicks.

And it was a case of third time lucky as he netted one in the 89th minute to secure Argentina a 2-0 victory, with young midfielder Thiago Almada also getting on the scoresheet. It was his 99th international goal and the 800th of his career.

After the match the celebrations continued, with the players joined by their families. Messi’s wife Antonela and their three sons Thiago, Mateo and Ciro were beside him as he lifted the World Cup trophy for a second time.

The whole squad were given their own replica trophies to life in unison with their captain, which resulted in Martinez recreating his infamous Golden Glove pose in Qatar.

As well as doing it with his team-mates, some of the Argentina WAGs also got in on the cheeky action.

Addressing the crowd, Messi said: “I always dreamed of this moment and to celebrate with you. With my country, Argentina.

“I don’t want to forget all the teammates I had before because we also did everything possible to get it. Let’s enjoy the third star.”

Angel Di Maria’s wife has branded Manchester a ‘sh**hole’ and admitted the Argentinian flop only joined United for the money.

In an astonishing attack on the English giants, Jorgelina Cardoso has revealed Di Maria never wanted to go to Manchester United and that the pair of them hated living there.

Di Maria became one of the club’s most expensive signings when he joined them from Real Madrid in 2014 for £60m.

The winger signed a deal worth £175,000-a-week that made him one of the highest paid stars in United’s history and inherited the No. 7 shirt made famous by the likes of George Best, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo .

But he failed to settle in Manchester and was branded one of the worst signings in history following a string of woeful performances.

Di Maria lasted less than 12 months at United and when he failed to board a flight for the side’s pre-season tour of America the following summer, club bosses decided to cut their losses and sell him to PSG in a £44m deal.

Cardoso admits the move was destined to fail because she hated Manchester and only agreed to leave Madrid because of the huge wages on offer to Di Maria.

She said: “I remember Angel coming up and saying, ‘an offer from Manchester United has come in. Maybe we’ll be a little more financially secure…’.

“We fought about it. I told him, not a chance, he could go on his own. ‘No, come on. Let’s go’, he replied. There was a lot of money involved, and afterwards, the Spanish were calling us money grabbers. And they were right!

“If you are working for a company and the competition comes along and offers to pay you double, you take it!”

Cardoso admits she didn’t like Manchester following a visit there to see Sergio Aguero and his then wife Gianinna Maradona, daughter of Argentina legend Diego Maradona.

She slammed the food and people – and even claimed she feared for her life.

Cardoso added: “I didn’t want to go to Manchester because I am friends with Gianinna Maradona, who was married to Aguero, and we flew from Madrid to his house in Manchester to pay him a visit for two or three days when Angel had a few days off at Real Madrid.

“It was horrible! A sh**hole, we went to the house and we were like… ‘See you later guys, we’re out of here’. When we left, I said to him, ‘Go to any country – except England!’. Anyway, one year later and there we were in England.

“I didn’t like anything about it, not a thing. The women are all pasty-faced and white, prim and proper… weird. You’re walking down the street and you don’t know if they’re going to kill you or what.

“The food’s disgusting. All the girls are all dolled up to the nines, perfectly made-up and there’s me with my hair in a bun and with no make-up on.”
