Ahmed El Sakka Discusses Divorce and Family Dynamics in Recent Interview

For the first time since announcing his separation from presenter Maha El Saghir approximately seven months ago, Egyptian actor Ahmed El Sakka has broken his silence, discussing the details of this new chapter in his life during a television interview coinciding with the New Year 2026 celebrations.

The separation ended a marriage that lasted over 26 years and produced three children, making El Sakka's statements of significant interest on social media.

Arrangements for the Children Post-Divorce

El Sakka shared the family arrangements following the separation, confirming that his two sons reside with him, while his daughter Nadia alternates between his home and her mother's. He emphasized that the primary goal of this arrangement is to ensure the emotional stability of the children, free from any conflict or tension.

Relationship with Maha El Saghir: No Hostility

Regarding his relationship with his ex-wife, El Sakka was quick to deny any severe conflict, stating: "There is no animosity... it’s not a war... there is no disagreement, and the matter has been contained."

On the possibility of rekindling their marriage, he simply remarked:
"God knows,"
indicating that nothing is certain in life.

Repairing Family Dynamics

El Sakka described the current state of his family as relatively stable, expressing his desire to support his children and "repair some things that were broken" to restore family balance. He also revealed that he has a close circle of trusted individuals around him, whom he has empowered to advise him, even to the extent of intervening to prevent poor decisions.

Limited Communication and Mutual Respect

El Sakka confirmed that the children did not play a role in the separation or any attempts at reconciliation, noting that communication between him and his ex-wife is minimal but based on mutual respect. He characterized their relationship as:
"There is almost no communication... only cordiality from a distance... to protect each other out of respect for the children and because she is their mother."

Strong Warning: "Preventive Strike"

In one of the more controversial parts of the interview, El Sakka issued a stern warning to anyone who might pose a threat to his ex-wife outside of work, stating:
"Whoever poses a danger, whoever it may be, will face a preventive strike."
He added emphatically:
"Whoever thinks of laying their hands on this land, there is no law here... we are in the mountains."

Protection Without Emotion

El Sakka clarified that his stance is not driven by emotion but by responsibility, asserting that he protects "the land that he gave to his three children" and will not allow anyone to belittle it. He also mentioned that Maha El Saghir sometimes seeks his advice, and he does not hesitate to offer it based on his conscience, emphasizing that he does not allow anyone to speak ill of her.

Final Message Without Ambiguity

El Sakka concluded his remarks with a direct message, stating:
"I do not allow anyone to play with her mind or mock her... and whoever thinks they are doing that, I want to tell them: I am living with you."
