In an unexpected turn of events, former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik recently shared his wedding pictures with Sana Javed on social media. This revelation has prompted a response from Sania Mirza, the former wife of Malik. The family of Sania Mirza has now broken their silence on the matter.

In an official statement, Sania's team and family expressed, "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! At this sensitive period of her life, we would like to request all fans and well-wishers to refrain from indulging in any speculation and to respect her need for privacy."

Shoaib and Sania, who share a five-year-old son named Izaan, have been living separately, with the child residing with Sania.


Sania's father, Imran Mirza, disclosed to PTI that the divorce was a 'khula,' referring to the right of a Muslim woman to unilaterally divorce her husband.


Speculations about differences between Shoaib and Sania leading to a split have circulated since 2022. The couple has been rarely seen together in the last couple of years, fueling these rumors.

Shoaib and Sania had tied the knot in April 2010 in Hyderabad, the Indian player's hometown, and they used to reside in Dubai. The recent social media posts by Shoaib Malik have brought their marital situation into the public eye, leading to the confirmation of their separation.
