In a surprising turn of events, former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik has tied the knot with renowned Pakistani actress Sana Javed, marking a new chapter in his personal life after his divorce from Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza. The couple, who share a five-year-old son, continues to stay together, showcasing their happiness through social media posts.
The divorce between Shoaib and Sania reportedly took place through ‘khula,’ a process allowing Muslim women to unilaterally initiate divorce. Speculations about a strained relationship had been circulating since 2022, with the couple not being seen together for the past two years. Shoaib’s decision to unfollow Sania on Instagram added fuel to the rumors.
Shoaib and Sania, who got married in Hyderabad in April 2010, had been residing in Dubai. The recent development in Shoaib’s personal life sheds light on the challenges faced by high-profile couples in the public eye.
Sana Javed, a well-known actress in Pakistan, had previously been married to singer Umer Jaiswal in 2020, but the marriage ended in divorce after two months. Shoaib’s decision to start a new life with Sana Javed signifies a fresh start for both individuals.
Meanwhile, Sania Mirza, a trailblazer in Indian women’s tennis, bid farewell to her professional career last year. Over her illustrious 20-year career, she secured 43 WTA doubles titles and one singles title, leaving an indelible mark on the sport.
On the professional front, Shoaib Malik continues to be active in international cricket, currently distancing himself from Test cricket but remaining available for ODIs and T20s. The unfolding chapters in the lives of these sports and entertainment figures captivate the public’s attention, showcasing the intersection of personal and professional spheres.
