Indian tennis star player Sania Mirza's private life garnered widespread attention on social media when ex-Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik posted his wedding photos online.
The speculations surrounding Sania's separation from Shoaib turned out to be true as the cricketer revealed images of her marriage to Sana Javed on Wednesday. Subsequently, Sania's family has decided to address the situation and share their perspective on the matter.
In a statement, Sania's team and her family wrote: "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 have a five-year-old son, Izaan, who lives with Sania.
Shoaib and Sania tied the knot in Sania's hometown of Hyderabad in April 2010, and the couple resided in Dubai. On the other hand, Sana Javed, known for her roles in popular drama serials and Pakistani films, entered matrimony with singer Umair Jaiswal in a modest ceremony in 2020 during the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
