Achraf Hakimi, a key defender for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and the Morocco national football team, has been caught up in an unexpected controversy. Kayla Gondek, a former Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) player and model, claimed she is pregnant with Hakimi's child, drawing significant attention overseas as well.
Argentine media outlet Infobae reported on the 13th (Korean time), "Model and former basketball player Gondek has sparked controversy in the international football world by claiming she is pregnant with a PSG star's child."
Gondek made this claim through a video posted to her social media story. However, the video was deleted shortly after being published.
According to the report, Gondek stated in the video that she learned of her pregnancy last July.
She then claimed, "I got pregnant when Morocco came to Houston here during the World Cup period to play a match," adding, "For those who might not know, it is Hakimi's child."
She also expressed her feelings, saying she felt "manipulated, used, and betrayed."
Gondek explained that while she had remained silent in the past to protect others, she decided this time to speak out about her position for the first time.
However, she later deleted the video. By then, many fans had already saved and shared the video, causing the related content to spread rapidly.
Among Gondek's claims, the fact that Hakimi was staying in Houston at the time is confirmed.
The Morocco national team played Canada in the Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, USA, last July. Morocco won 3-0, and Hakimi started the match, playing all 90 minutes while also recording an assist.
However, no evidence has yet emerged to prove that Hakimi and Gondek actually met at the time.
Infobae also drew a line, stating, "While we can confirm where Hakimi was through the match schedule, it does not mean we know what happened outside the stadium."
It is reported that Hakimi's side has not yet issued an official statement regarding Gondek's claims.
PSG and the Moroccan Football Federation have also not released separate official statements. Gondek has not provided any additional explanation since deleting the video.
After playing at West Virginia University, Gondek entered the professional league after being selected with the fourth overall pick by the Indiana Fever in the 2021 WNBA Draft. She subsequently also worked as a model.
She is also well known for having publicly dated Jalen Brown, a star of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Boston Celtic FCs. The couple appeared together at the 2024 Celtic FCs championship celebration and various award ceremonies, but later broke up.
Hakimi debuted professionally at Real Madrid (Spain), then moved through Borussia Dortmund (Germany) and Inter Milan (Italy) before joining PSG in 2021. Since then, he has established himself as a world-class right-back, serving as a key player for both PSG and the Morocco national team.
He also shared the locker room at PSG with Lee Kang-in, the "ace" of the Korean national football team (Atletico Madrid). Lee Kang-in played for PSG from 2023 to 2026 and donned the Atletico uniform this summer.
