In a surprising announcement, former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik revealed on a Saturday that he has entered into a new chapter in his life by marrying popular Pakistani actor Sana Javed. This news follows his recent divorce from Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, with whom he shares a five-year-old son named Izaan.
Shoaib Malik took to social media to share a photograph of the newlyweds, accompanied by the caption, “And We created you in pairs.” The post marks a public declaration of his new relationship and signals a fresh start in his personal life.
The former marriage of Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza, which took place in April 2010 in Hyderabad, had been under scrutiny amid rumors of differences between the couple since 2022. Notably, the two had been seen together rarely in recent years, and Shoaib’s decision to unfollow Sania Mirza on Instagram added to speculation about their relationship.
Reports online suggest that Sania Mirza’s father, Imran Mirza, confirmed the divorce as a ‘khula,’ signifying the right of a Muslim woman to unilaterally seek a divorce. The custody of their five-year-old son Izaan remains with Sania Mirza, and custody arrangements are often closely observed in high-profile separations.
Sana Javed, known for her roles in popular drama serials and Pakistani films, was previously married to singer Umair Jaiswal. The couple’s marriage in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic was followed by reports of their divorce just two months prior to Sana Javed’s union with Shoaib Malik.
Sania Mirza, celebrated as one of India’s greatest tennis players, announced her retirement from professional tennis last year. Her illustrious career spanned two decades, during which she secured 43 WTA doubles titles and one singles trophy, making her a trailblazer for women in sports.
Shoaib Malik’s marriage to Sana Javed marks a significant development in both of their personal lives. As they navigate this new journey, the public remains intrigued by the reasons behind Shoaib’s divorce from Sania Mirza and the unfolding dynamics of their futures. The lives of these prominent figures in sports and entertainment will undoubtedly continue to capture the attention of followers worldwide.
