Seasoned Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik surprised the cricketing community by sharing news of his third marriage, on Saturday. Putting an end to speculations about his divorce from Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza, Malik used X (formerly Twitter) to disclose that he has entered into matrimony with Pakistani actress Sana Javed.
Notably, speculation about Malik’s romantic involvement with Sana had circulated for some time. The former Pakistan captain added fuel to these rumors when he extended birthday wishes to the actress last year, accompanied by a picture of the two. It’s worth noting that Malik and Sania tied the knot in 2010 and celebrated the arrival of their only child, Izhaan, in 2018.
Malik had previously expressed his support for Javed when the actress faced criticism for purportedly displaying rude behavior towards juniors and makeup artists on the set.
