Anne Al-Rifai shocked fans with a stunning announcement of her divorce from actor Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz through a post on her personal Instagram account, just a few hours after Karim announced their separation via Instagram Stories on the same platform.

In her post, Anne Al-Rifai wrote: "Praise be to God for everything. I remained silent for a long time to protect my home and family, as homes hold their secrets. I was informed of the divorce through an Instagram Story after 14 years of marriage, without a divorce paper or notification from a marriage official. Thank you for the respect and consideration. ويمكرون ويمكر الله والله خير الماكرين."

Photo Deletion and Initial Reaction

Following the announcement, Anne deleted all photos of her and Karim from her Instagram account, a reaction considered by some as natural given the circumstances.

Additionally, singer Basma Bousil expressed her support for Anne, commenting on her post: "My heart is with you; surely God will grant you better."

For his part, Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz posted on Instagram: "Divorce is God’s decree... I have all respect and appreciation for the mother of my daughters. No matter what happens, she will always be their mother, and I will remain their father. We tried for many years to make life work and failed, and that doesn’t mean anyone is at fault. Some relationships end because God has destined it, and they end with mutual respect, love, and goodwill. I certainly didn’t want to reach this outcome, but this is God’s will. No one had any role in these issues; homes hold their secrets. I preferred not to speak about my personal life out of respect for all parties, but out of consideration for the public concerned, clarification was necessary."

Public Reaction

The divorce news caused a major stir among the couple’s fans on social media, with many expressing shock and sadness. Followers said they never expected the relationship to end after 14 years of marriage and praised the mutual respect reflected in the official announcement from both parties.
