Shoaib Malik is one of Pakistan's most successful captains and batters, while Sania Mirza is a well-known former Indian tennis star. Their highly anticipated marriage took place in 2010, but unfortunately, they announced their divorce in 2023.
Recently, Shoaib Malik shocked fans by marrying Pakistani actress Sana Javed. According to a report in the Economic Times, Sania initiated the divorce proceedings. The report also claimed that Shoaib and Sana had been in a relationship for nearly three years before they tied the knot.
Sania reportedly informed Shoaib’s family about the situation before taking legal steps. Sania’s sister, Anam Mirza, shared an official statement on Instagram on behalf of Sania and their family.
The statement read: "Sania has always kept her personal life away from the public eye. However, today, the need has arisen for her to share that Shoaib and she have been divorced for a few months now. She wishes Shoaib well for his new journey ahead."
Even Shoaib Malik’s family members were reportedly unhappy with his marriage to Sana, as they did not attend the wedding. According to The Pakistan Daily, Malik's sisters expressed serious concerns over his divorce from Sania Mirza.
Shoaib was previously married to Ayesha Siddiqui in 2002, but that marriage ended in 2010. He then married Sania the same year, and their relationship lasted until 2023.
On a podcast on Samaa TV, Pakistani journalist Naeem Hanif revealed details about Shoaib and Sana’s relationship. Reports suggest that their alleged affair played a key role in Shoaib and Sania’s divorce. Shoaib and Sania have a son, Izhaan Mirza Malik, who was born in October 2018.
Shoaib reportedly met Sana on the set of the Pakistani reality show Jeeto Pakistan. As per reports, they quickly became friends and developed a mutual connection. The cricketer married Sana in a private Nikah ceremony at her home in Karachi on January 19.
Sana Javed is a well-known actress in the Pakistani TV and film industry, famous for her roles in Khaani, Ruswai, and Dunk. However, the couple faced backlash and criticism, as many fans alleged that Shoaib married Sana without a legal divorce from Sania Mirza.
