The couple split after Hakimi was charged with preliminary rape allegations by French prosecutors in March, which he strongly denies according to his lawyer.
Abouk shared her thoughts in an Instagram post alongside a recent photoshoot and the song Survivor by Destiny's Child.
She also spoke to ELLE Spain about the pain of separation and her need for time to digest the shock of the situation.
She told the publication: "I am fine. There are days when it is like this, and others in which you’ve to know how to take blows and make decisions, sometimes complicated, and get used to new situations.
"Who would’ve imagined that in addition to facing the usual pain that a separation entails and accepting the grief that the failure of a family project to which I had given myself body and soul entails, I would’ve to face this ignominy? I needed time to digest this shock.
She added: "When you separate, you restructure your life, but it’s not anything special either: you’ve to take iron out of the matter. It’s true that, with two children, it is emotionally complicated, but I’m not the first and I will not be the last."
"The important thing is that I have the peace of mind of having tried and having done everything I had to do. There are decisions that cannot be made overnight. For me it’s a premise not to rush in moments of crisis."
Abouk and Hakimi first began dating in 2018 and were married in 2020, but have since split with two children together.
Hakimi's accuser alleges he raped her at his home in Paris while his then-wife was on holiday with their children. The investigation is ongoing.
