Rumors about Shoaib Malik’s divorce from Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza surfaced, and the veteran cricketer from Pakistan married Pakistani actor Sana Javed. Malik announced the news on Saturday via a post on X, the platform that was formerly known as Twitter. The message reads, “And we created you in pairs.” The post includes images from their wedding.

Shoaib Malik marries Pakistani actress Sana Javed
For a time now, there had been rumors that Malik was seeing Javed. However, when the former captain of Pakistan sent a birthday greeting to the actress last year, along with a photo of the two, he added fuel to the fire.
The 41-year-old previously defended Javed after the Pyaare Afzal actress faced criticism for allegedly acting rudely toward makeup artists and juniors on the set. “I have known Sana Javed for quite some time now and have had the opportunity to work with her multiple times. From my personal experience, I can only say that she has always been kind and courteous towards me and the people around us,” Malik wrote in a tweet in March 2022.
On both sides of the border, Malik’s wedding post was unexpected, given the rumors of his divorce from Mirza. The couple wed in a customary Muslim ceremony in Hyderabad in 2010 and then celebrated their Walima in Sialkot, Pakistan. Izhaan, Malik, and Mirza’s kids were also born in 2018.
Although the exact moment their relationship broke down is unknown, it is thought to have happened around the first part of 2021. Based on their social media activity, Sania and Shoaib continued to be active on Instagram, sharing photos and stories about the two of them traveling the world and taking family photos on Dubai beaches.
But with time, their social media mobility became more restricted. Sania and Shoaib were rumored to be working together on a TV show last year. Eventually, this was confirmed when Spotify debuted The Mirza Malik show, in which the two welcomed several celebrities for 40-minute episodes.
Earlier on Wednesday, Sania sparked rumors of Malik and her getting divorced by sharing a mysterious picture on her Instagram account. Her message said, “Marriage is difficult.” Divorce is difficult. Select your hard. Being obese is difficult. Maintaining fitness is difficult. Select your hard. Having debt is difficult. Maintaining financial discipline is difficult. Select your hard. It’s difficult to communicate. It’s difficult to not communicate. Select your hard. There will never be an easy life. It’s going to be difficult forever. We may select our hard, though. Make sensible choices.”
Is this Shoaib Malik’s third wedding?
According to the records, Malik has been married twice. However, the cricketer denied rumors that Malik had married Ayesha Siddiqui before getting married to Sania. Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza’s marriage was ruined amid rumors that Shoaib was already married. Ayesha, her family, and her sister Maha had escalated the situation on national television. Malik admitted that the entire Ayesha chapter was just a straightforward case of lying.
When the two chatted over the phone at the beginning of 2000, Ayesha declared that she was a Shoaib admirer. Although Malik agreed that the two were starting to sense a connection as they chatted often, Ayesha would never be available when Shoaib wanted to see her. In 2002, Ayesha told Malik that she had to take an urgent trip to Saudi Arabia when he came to Hyderabad to visit her. Three years later, the day before they were supposed to meet the family, Malik and his family learned that Ayesha had to come to the US.
Ayesh wanted to give the cricketer a phony “Nikah,” but Malik insisted on having a proper ceremony with the families present and was allowed to take part. As it happened, the woman he was speaking with and the one in the photos were not the same. The story did not end with Malik serving the father, MA Siddiqui, with a legal notice. Ayesha leveled severe charges against Shoaib and claimed that they were in an “intimate relationship.”. She also claimed that she got pregnant during their “marriage,” but that the pregnancy ended in miscarriage.
