Sadio Mane was seen celebrating as the Al-Nassr and Senegal star’s teenage wife Aisha Tamba graduated from school.
Mane and Aisha were married in an Islamic ceremony on January 7 in Keur Massar, a suburb of the capital Dakar, just six days before the start of the African Cup of Nations.
The wedding was held at Aisha’s home and was attended by close friends and family.
Mane reportedly hoped to go on a honeymoon after the tournament, but Aisha’s family allegedly wanted her to focus on her studies before her Final high school exams.
A video posted on social media showed Mane celebrating last month when Aisha received her baccalaureate, the academic qualification students earn at the end of their secondary education.

Mane and Aisha tied the knot in an Islamic ceremony on January 7, when she was reportedly 18.
The footage was recorded by her father, according to Senenews, and Aisha reacted with shock when her results were announced at the Al-Nassr star’s home.
Aisha reportedly earned her diploma with an acceptable distinction, and Mane and her father congratulated her on her success.
Senenews reported that Aisha is now considering moving on to higher education after having obtained her bachelor’s degree.
Former Liverpool star Mane had reportedly been funding Aisha’s education at the Cabis girls’ school in Mbao, a town on the outskirts of Dakar.
Aisha, who married Mane at 18, returned to school in January to hundreds of classmates who cheered wildly and shouted her and Mane’s names.
Videos on social media showed the enthusiastic reception she received with students chanting “Sadio amenda jabar – Aissaa amena jekeur,” which supposedly translates to “Madame Sadio Mane.”
Much has been made of the age difference between the couple: Mane was 31 and Tamba 18 when they married.
Aisha’s father confirmed her age and when the couple met, amid speculation.
Aisha returned to school after the couple’s wedding while continuing to focus on her studies.
Aisha Tamba was shocked by the reception from her classmates when she returned to school after her high-profile wedding.
Former Liverpool star Mane currently plays in Saudi Arabia after moving to Al-Nassr last year.
Mr Tamba said: “She is 18 years old… The first time Mane saw her was more than two years ago.”
‘I knew that Sadio and his entire family are very good and humble people. Sadio is simply a reflection of his family.
‘However, as a father I also needed to know more about him, his education, his faith in God, his humility. And I came to know much more that he is a good person.
‘Sadio and I talk a lot about projects, but we also talk about life in general and he taught me a lot, even though he is still young. He knows a lot about life and I learned a lot from him. That is why I did not hesitate to accept his proposal to marry Aisha.’
Aisha also insisted that Mane’s fame and wealth would not change her, with the star earning around £650,000 a week in Saudi Arabia.
“I don’t feel any pressure because Sadio’s fame and money are not going to change me,” Aisha said in January. “That’s not what interests me. I will remain a humble person and committed to my faith.”
‘I’m not used to so much attention because we are a very private family. We don’t like to brag or talk about our private life. I’m a very realistic person, that’s how I was raised and nothing will change just because of this marriage.’
