Shoiab splits with Sania, Marries Pakistani Actress

Amidst swirling rumors of a separation from former Indian tennis player Sania Mirza, Pakistani cricket star Shoaib Malik has entered into wedlock with popular Pakistani actor Sana Javed. Shoaib Malik shared a glimpse of their wedding ceremony on social media, posting photos from the event that took place on Saturday, January 20.

The speculation about Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed’s relationship intensified following the cricketer’s birthday wish to the actor last year, where he affectionately wrote, “Happy Birthday Buddy,” accompanying a photo of them together on his Instagram page.

Sana Javed also contributed to the public disclosure by sharing photos from their wedding ceremony on social media, surprising fans who were grappling with rumors of Shoaib Malik’s separation from Sania Mirza. Notably, Shoaib Malik had divorced Ayesha Siddiqui in 2010 before tying the knot with tennis star Sania Mirza later that year.

Adding to the intrigue, Sana Javed updated her Instagram bio, now identified as Sana Shoaib Malik. Previously married to singer Umar Jaswal from 2020, Sana Javed and Umar divorced in 2023.

While speculation about Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza’s relationship had been ongoing, both athletes remained tight-lipped about their private lives. Sania Mirza, on Wednesday, shared a cryptic post that fueled further speculation about her divorce with Shoaib Malik, addressing the challenges of marriage and life choices.

The rumors temporarily subsided when Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza celebrated their son’s birthday in Dubai last year. The couple further dispelled doubts by co-hosting the ‘Mirza-Malik’ TV show from Dubai.

However, the rumors resurfaced late last year when Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza made alterations to their social media bios. In August 2023, Shoaib Malik updated his Instagram bio from “Husband to a superwoman Sania Mirza” to simply “Father to One True Blessing.”

Notably, both Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza appear to have removed joint photos from their respective social media profiles. The couple, who exchanged vows in a traditional Muslim ceremony in Hyderabad, India, in 2010, followed by a Walima ceremony in Sialkot, Pakistan, welcomed their first child, Izhaan, in 2018. The intricacies of their personal lives continue to captivate the public, as the duo remains silent amid the ongoing speculation about the state of their marriage.
