Mohamed Elneny Secretly Marries Moroccan Blogger While Still Married to First Wife: Drama Unfolds Off the Pitch
Former Arsenal star Mohamed Elneny is at the center of a storm off the field and no, it’s not a transfer saga this time. The Egyptian midfielder, who now plays for Al Jazira Club in the UAE, has reportedly tied the knot with a Moroccan blogger named Hanan while still married to his first wife, Amal El Hanawy.
Yes, you read that right. Ten years of marriage. Three kids. And now, an unexpected second wife and a baby on the way. If football had a “Real Housewives” edition, Elneny just entered the starting lineup.
It All Started With Some Emoji-Fueled Mystery
The drama kicked off when Hanan, a well-known lifestyle blogger in Morocco, posted a series of pregnancy photos on her Instagram. But here’s the kicker, she covered the face of the man in the pictures with emojis. Classy, yet cryptic.

Social media sleuths, however, weren’t fooled for long. Fans noticed the background, locations, and a few suspiciously familiar sneakers, yep, all signs pointed to Mohamed Elneny. And soon enough, the secret wasn’t so secret anymore.
Once the rumors gained traction, Hanan swiftly switched her Instagram account to private, but the internet had already done its homework.
Confirmed: Second Marriage and Baby Incoming
According to sources close to the player, Elneny met Hanan during his stay in Dubai after his move from Arsenal to Al Jazira in July 2024. The two reportedly attended a high-profile match together, the Egyptian Super Cup final between Al Ahly and Ceramica Cleopatra, held in the UAE last October.
Insiders claim the couple has been married for some time now, and Hanan is expecting their first child. Elneny, aware of how this could go down publicly, was reportedly careful not to flood his socials with posts about his second marriage, out of respect for his first wife, Amal.
Meanwhile, Amal Breaks Her Silence
Back in Egypt, Amal El Hanawy, Elneny’s wife of ten years and mother to his three children was blindsided by the news. Though she hasn’t spoken directly about the situation, Amal took to Instagram Stories with a cryptic but powerful quote that translates to:
“Everything that happens behind your back, happens before God. For He gives respite, but does not neglect.” And just like that, the internet knew: this wasn’t just gossip. It was heartbreak, betrayal, and drama, served cold and without warning.
What’s Next for Elneny?

While Elneny continues his football career in the UAE, it remains to be seen how this revelation will affect his personal life and potentially his image among fans in Egypt and beyond. After all, footballers don’t just make headlines for goals and assists anymore.
For now, Hanan is keeping a low profile, Amal is reeling, and Elneny is playing a different kind of match entirely.
