Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik Confirm Divorce Amidst Social Media Speculation

In a surprising turn of events, former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik confirmed the end of his marriage with Indian tennis star Sania Mirza through a series of wedding pictures with his new wife, Sana Javed, shared on social media. The news comes after months of speculation about the couple’s relationship, with rumors circulating since 2022. Sania’s family and team have issued a statement, acknowledging the divorce and urging fans and well-wishers to respect her privacy during this sensitive time.

Sania’s father, Imran Mirza, clarified that the divorce was initiated through a ‘khula,’ referring to the Muslim practice where a woman can unilaterally seek separation from her husband. The couple, who tied the knot in April 2010 in Hyderabad, India, had been living in Dubai. They share a five-year-old son, Izaan, who currently resides with Sania. The public confirmation of their separation came after Malik unfollowed Sania on Instagram, further fueling speculation.

The couple’s rare public appearances in recent years had already fueled rumors of discord, and the official announcement has now put an end to the speculations surrounding their relationship. Sania’s family has requested respect for her privacy during this challenging period, emphasizing her longstanding commitment to keeping her personal life away from the public eye.

The news follows Sana Javed’s recent divorce reports, adding another layer of complexity to the personal lives of these prominent sports and entertainment figures. As fans process the news, it remains to be seen how this development will impact the individuals involved and their respective careers.
