Iyawo Hakimi: The money-divorce connection

ou’ve probably heard about it too much — the storied divorce between Morrocan football star, Achraf Hakimi, and his wife, Hiba Abouk. Following an alleged infidelity tale, the couple recently went to court to legally split their union — and finances. There, it was revealed that Hakimi kept most of his fortune in his mother’s name, which meant he had little to contribute.

Hakimi’s story broke the global internet more than any of the goals he’s ever scored, but it also highlighted an important conversation for women: the connection between money and divorce.
