In his first public comments since announcing his separation from media personality Maha El Saghir about seven months ago, Egyptian actor Ahmed El Sakka shared insights into his current life during a television interview held during the New Year's celebrations for 2026.

The separation concluded a marriage that lasted over 26 years and produced three children, making El Sakka's remarks a trending topic on social media.

Children’s Living Arrangements Post-Divorce

El Sakka detailed the family arrangements following the separation, confirming that his sons reside with him, while his daughter Nadia alternates between both parents' homes. He emphasized that this setup aims to ensure the psychological well-being of the children, minimizing any potential conflict.

Relationship with Maha El Saghir: A Respectful Distance

Addressing his relationship with his ex-wife, El Sakka clarified that there are no significant disputes, stating, “There is no hostility... it’s not a war... we have managed the situation.”

When asked about the possibility of reconciliation, he responded, “God knows,” highlighting the uncertainty of such matters.

Striving for Family Stability

El Sakka expressed that he is currently experiencing a sense of stability and is focused on supporting his children while “repairing some matters that have been broken” to restore family harmony. He mentioned having a close circle of trusted individuals who advise him and help prevent any poor decisions, even if it requires firm intervention.

Limited Communication with Mutual Respect

He noted that the children have not been involved in discussions about the separation or potential reconciliation. Communication with his ex-wife is minimal but grounded in mutual respect. He described their relationship as one of “cordiality from a distance,” aimed at protecting the children and respecting their mother.

Strong Warning: A Protective Stance

In a notable segment of the interview, El Sakka issued a stern warning to anyone who might threaten his ex-wife outside of work, stating, “Whoever poses a threat, regardless of who they are, will find a preemptive strike.” He added, “Whoever thinks they can harm this land will face consequences.”

Responsibility Over Emotion

El Sakka clarified that his protective stance is driven by responsibility rather than emotion, asserting that he will safeguard “the land that bore him three children.” He also mentioned that Maha El Saghir sometimes seeks his advice, and he provides it based on his conscience, stressing that he does not tolerate anyone speaking ill of her.

Final Message of Protection

Concluding his remarks, El Sakka stated, “I do not allow anyone to manipulate her or deceive her... for those who think they can, I am aware of it.”
