“With mutual consent, it was decided that…” - Shoaib Malik opens up on rumours of his third marriage

Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has opened up amid rumours of his third marriage in a detailed statement, denying the claims of him getting married for the third time, describing them as false and fabricated stories.

It’s important to note that Malik and Sania Mirza, who got married in 2010, got separated in early 2024 by mutual consent. In January 2024, Malik married Sana Javed in a private Nikah ceremony in Karachi.

In his detailed statement, Malik clarified that with mutual consent, he and Sania Mirza decided to co-parent their son, adding that his son is now at an age where he will be reading these false stories. For the same reason, he decided to break his silence.

"It was early 2023 when my first marriage ended. With mutual consent, it was decided that we will co-parent our child. It was only after this that I got remarried. I've always sought to keep my private life private, out of respect for my family. However, my silence seems to have been taken for granted," Malik said in the statement.

"I feel this has reached a point where it must be addressed, as my son is now at an age where he'll be reading these false and fabricated stories, spread for views for mere pennies of earnings. These lame accusations are causing distress to those who I care about," his statement added.

"Act responsibly; there is much more to life than just a few likes and views. I have a family just like you all do. I hope this message is taken positively, and assumptions/jokes about my personal life will stop. Failure to do so will result in strict legal action from my team against individuals and firms," the statement concluded.
