As soon as Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik publically announced his marriage to actor Sana Javed, rumour mills were abuzz discussing why his relationship with his former wife and Indian tennis star Sania Mirza could have gone sour after their union was said to be in trouble since the latter months of 2022.
Malik Saturday made an announcement on Instagram and X, formerly Twitter, about tying the knot with Sana — known for her acting in numerous Pakistani dramas and films 1 in a private ceremony.
However, none of the veteran all-rounder's family members have attended his wedding event, Malik's brother-in-law Imran Zafar told Geo News.
The cricketer got married to Mirza on April 12, 2010. Although there had been rumours about problems in their marriage life, however, there were no reports of divorce.
As per the sources, the two got divorced because Sania was not happy with the 41-year-old’s regular interactions with other females.
The former tennis star tried to ignore Malik’s actions for so long, but then finally decided to take the big step of divorce.
Sources further revealed that Malik’s family was extremely sad over the separation from Sania as they never wanted the two to divorce. They also tried their best to rebuild the relationship between them.
The all-rounder was in contact with Sana for a long time, who was having trouble in her marriage life with renowned singer Umair Jaswal.
The right-arm off-spinner will continue to meet his son Izhan Mirza Malik in Dubai as per the law.
Earlier, Malik confirmed his third marriage on his social media accounts where he wrote a small caption with a Quranic verse.
“Alhamdullilah,” Malik wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “And We created you in pairs,” the post added.
Formerly called the power couple, Shoaib and Sania, remained in the headlines for quite a time since 2022 following the reports of their separation.
On the other hand, Shoaib and Sana were rumoured to have been divorced with both keeping mum on the matter reportedly due to agreements. None of them publically verified their relationship status amid the speculations.
