Former Pakistani cricket captain Shoaib Malik has officially tied the knot with renowned Pakistani actress Sana Javed, marking a new chapter in his personal life after his 'unilateral divorce' from Indian tennis star Sania Mirza.
Taking to social media on Saturday, Shoaib Malik shared a heartfelt photo with his new wife, accompanied by a caption that reads, "And We created you in pairs." The announcement comes after the cricketer's much-publicized separation from Sania Mirza, with whom he shares a five-year-old son named Izaan.
While details surrounding the separation between Shoaib and Sania remain relatively private, a close family source revealed that the divorce was carried out through 'khula,' a form of divorce initiated by the wife in accordance with Islamic law.
Despite the changes in his personal life, Shoaib Malik continues to be a prominent figure in the world of cricket. Fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with congratulatory messages for the newlyweds, expressing their support for this fresh start in Shoaib's life.
As Shoaib on this new journey with Sana Javed, the custody of their son, Izaan, remains with Sania Mirza. The announcement has sparked a wave of discussions and speculations across social media platforms, as fans eagerly await more details about the cricket player's latest chapter in matrimony.
