Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik has taken the internet by storm with the surprising announcement of his marriage to Pakistani actress Sana Javed. This revelation has unfolded against the backdrop of persistent rumours surrounding the potential separation of Malik from Indian tennis icon Sania Mirza. The cricketer chose X (formerly Twitter) as the platform to share this joyous news, posting pictures from their Wedding Ceremony accompanied by the caption, “And we created you in pairs.”
Speculations regarding Malik’s relationship with Sana Javed had been circulating for quite some time, gaining momentum last year when he extended birthday wishes to the actress, coupled with a shared photo. Adding to the intrigue, the 41-year-old cricketer defended Javed against criticism, expressing his positive experiences working with her in a tweet back in March 2022.
Given the ongoing rumours surrounding Malik’s potential divorce from Sania Mirza, the revelation has stirred curiosity on both sides of the border. The lovely couple tied the knot in 2010 in a traditional Muslim ceremony in Hyderabad, followed by a Walima ceremony in Sialkot, Pakistan. Their family expanded with a son, Izhaan, born in 2018.
The specifics of the rift in Malik and Mirza’s relationship remain undisclosed. However, speculation points to issues emerging around the first half of 2021. Despite their initial active presence on social media, showcasing glimpses of their life together, the couple’s online interactions gradually waned. In 2023, reports surfaced about Sania and Shoaib collaborating on a Spotify show titled “The Mirza Malik Show,” where they hosted celebrities in 40-minute-long episodes.
Adding to the intrigue, Sania Mirza posted a cryptic message on Instagram earlier in the week, reigniting speculation about a possible divorce. Her post delved into the challenges of marriage and encouraged individuals to choose their battles wisely.
Shoaib Malik’s marital history includes a reported marriage to Ayesha Siddiqui, which became a controversial topic during his wedding ceremony with Sania Mirza. The allegations, escalated on national television by Ayesha and her family, led to Malik initially denying the incident, later admitting it was a fraud case.
Malik and Ayesha’s purported relationship traces back to the early 2000s, involving phone calls and the revelation of discrepancies between individuals in photographs and actual conversations. Legal notices and allegations followed, including claims of an ‘intimate relationship’ and a miscarriage during their ‘marriage.’
Sana Javed, Shoaib Malik’s current wife, is a 30-year-old Pakistani actress known for her roles in various TV dramas. Before marrying Malik, she married Pakistani singer Umair Jaswal, and their intimate wedding ceremony took place in 2020. However, rumours of their separation surfaced in November 2023 when the couple deleted shared photos from their accounts.
Amidst this relationship’s complex and intriguing history, congratulations have poured in for Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed. As they navigate this new chapter, the public remains eager for any official statements or clarifications from the involved parties.
