Sania Mirza’s father confirmed on Sunday that his daughter and Pakistani all-rounder Shoaib Malik have been divorced for several months.
Imran Mirza, speaking on X (formerly Twitter), mentioned that Sania, who has typically kept her personal life private, felt the need to share this information. Imran expressed Sania’s well wishes for Shoaib’s new journey and requested fans to avoid speculation and respect her privacy during this sensitive period.
This announcement came a day after Shoaib disclosed his marriage to Pakistani actor Sana Javed on Instagram, sharing wedding pictures that surprised fans and led to speculations about his marital status with Sania.
Sources revealed that the tennis player, aged 37, finalized her divorce from the cricketer in late 2022. Reports suggested that Sania was unhappy with Shoaib’s interactions with other women, a concern she had been tolerating for some time. However, she decided to take action when her patience ran out.
Once considered a power couple, Shoaib and Sania remained in the headlines since 2022 due to reports of their separation. Rumors circulated about Shoaib and Sana being divorced, but both stayed silent on the matter, supposedly due to agreements. The couple, who got married in 2010 and welcomed their son, Izhan Mirza-Malik, in 2018, did not publicly confirm or deny their relationship status amid ongoing speculations.
Despite fans noticing a distance between the two, Shoaib had consistently dismissed rumors and posted messages for Sania on social media over a span of four to five months.
