American model and former WNBA player Kelsey Gundrizick has claimed that she became pregnant with Moroccan soccer star Ashraf Hakimi's child during the 2026 World Cup. Gundrizick, a Playboy model, made the allegations in an Instagram story that was later deleted. In the now-deleted post, Gundrizick claimed that she met Hakimi in Houston when the Moroccan national team arrived for the World Cup.

Gundrizick's Instagram story showed her speaking from inside a car, expressing her emotional state and stating that she had decided to reveal the truth instead of protecting others. She claimed that she was taken advantage of and manipulated, but did not provide any supporting evidence or details about the nature of her relationship with Hakimi. As of October 8, 2026, neither Hakimi nor Gundrizick had released an official statement confirming or denying the allegations.

Gundrizick, born in 1997, is a former WNBA player who was drafted by the Indiana Fever in 2021. She later played for the Chicago Sky before pursuing a career in modeling, including appearing in Playboy. Gundrizick has previously been in high-profile relationships with NBA players. Hakimi, 27, currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain and the Moroccan national team and is facing separate legal proceedings in France.

In September 2026, the French Court of Cassation upheld a decision to send Hakimi to trial on charges of rape, allegedly committed in 2023. Hakimi has consistently denied the charges. The new allegations made by Gundrizick are unrelated to the existing case and remain unverified digital rumors pending official clarification or evidence.

The allegations against Hakimi have sparked widespread media attention, particularly on social media platforms. Several online accounts specializing in sports and entertainment news have picked up the story, but the lack of concrete evidence or statements from the parties involved has left the claims unverified.

Gundrizick's claims have raised questions about the circumstances surrounding her alleged encounter with Hakimi and the subsequent pregnancy. While some have expressed support for Gundrizick, others have highlighted the need for caution and verification before drawing conclusions.

The situation remains ongoing, with the public awaiting further developments or official statements from Hakimi, Gundrizick, or other relevant parties. Key points include Gundrizick's allegations of impregnation by Hakimi during the World Cup and Hakimi's existing legal issues in France.
