Amid swirling speculation about his separation from tennis player Sania Mirza, former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik, 41, officially announced Saturday his third marriage to actor Sana Javed, 30. The couple revealed that they had recently tied the knot in a private ceremony in Karachi, sharing glimpses of their union on Instagram. A family source said 37-year-old Sania had initiated divorce proceedings. Shoaib and Sania had solemnised their marriage in April 2010, celebrating ceremonies in both Pakistan and India. In 2018, their child Izhan Mirza Malik was born. There have been rumors since 2022 about differences between the two, and they have rarely been seen together the past couple of years. Just a few days ago, Shoaib unfollowed Sania on Instagram. Recent media reports highlighted a cryptic Instagram post by Sania, where she emotionally discussed marriage and divorce, sparking speculation about potential challenges in her marital life with Shoaib. Shoaib’s first marriage was with Ayesha Siddiqui, ending in 2010. Sana is married to singer Umair Jaswal since 2020. The newlyweds had not formally announced their separation from their previous partners and had refrained from commenting on the matter, reportedly due to personal agreements. Sana, known for her roles in TV dramas and films, started her career as a model and made her acting debut in 2012. She gained recognition for her performances in TV plays such as ‘Khaani’ and ‘Ruswai’. After the cricketer released Saturday his wedding photograph on social media, the actor too announced her name change to Sana Shoaib Malik on her Instagram account.
