Shoaib Malik, Sana Javed divorce rumours swirl after public video sparks speculation
<p><strong>Dubai:</strong> Former Pakistan cricket captain <strong>Shoaib Malik</strong> is once again at the centre of media attention, this time over rumours of a possible separation from his wife, Pakistani actress <strong>Sana Javed</strong>. The speculation, widely reported in sections of the Pakistani press, suggests that the couple are going through a rough patch less than two years after their marriage.</p><h3>Marriage history and recent speculation</h3><p>Malik, 43, tied the knot with <strong>Sana Javed in January 2024</strong>, shortly after confirming his divorce from Indian tennis icon <strong>Sania Mirza</strong>. The wedding, which took place in Karachi, came as a surprise to fans and was celebrated widely on social media.</p><p>However, in recent weeks, reports have emerged that Malik and Javed may no longer be on good terms. A viral video circulating online added fuel to the rumours. In the clip, the couple were seen attending a public event but appeared distant: Malik was seen engaging with fans and signing autographs, while Javed kept her face turned away, avoiding eye contact and interaction.</p><p>Fans quickly speculated that the body language suggested deeper marital issues. Social media debates intensified, with some observers interpreting the video as proof of discord, while others dismissed it as a private disagreement blown out of proportion.</p><h3>Media reports of a split</h3><p>Pakistani outlets claim the pair are considering divorce, though <strong>no official statement</strong> has been made by either Malik or Javed. For now, the reports remain speculative, but the silence of both celebrities has only added to the buzz.</p><p>This would mark Malik’s <strong>third divorce</strong>, should the rumours prove true. He was previously married to <strong>Ayesha Siddiqui</strong> for eight years before a high-profile split in 2010. Later that year, he married Sania Mirza, with whom he shares a son, <strong>Izhaan</strong>. After 14 years of marriage, Mirza’s family confirmed their divorce in early 2024, saying:</p><blockquote><p>“Sania has always kept her personal life private. She wishes Shoaib well for his new journey ahead. We request fans and well-wishers to respect her privacy.”</p></blockquote><h3>Sana Javed’s background</h3><p>Sana Javed, 32, is a well-known Pakistani actress, famous for her roles in dramas such as <i>Ruswai</i> and <i>Khaani</i>. She has a reputation for being private about her personal life but remains one of the most recognised faces in the Pakistani entertainment industry.</p><p>Her marriage to Shoaib Malik was seen as a high-profile union between cricket and showbiz, drawing comparisons to Malik’s earlier marriage with Mirza, which was often in the media spotlight across India and Pakistan.</p><h3>Shoaib Malik’s cricket career</h3><p>While his personal life continues to make headlines, Malik’s cricketing legacy remains significant. A seasoned all-rounder, he represented Pakistan in:</p><p><strong>35 Tests</strong> (1,898 runs, 32 wickets)</p><p><strong>287 ODIs</strong> (7,534 runs, 158 wickets)</p><p><strong>124 T20Is</strong> (2,435 runs, 28 wickets)</p><p>He captained Pakistan in the <strong>2007 ICC T20 World Cup final</strong>, where his side finished runners-up to India.</p><p>Malik last represented Pakistan in international cricket in <strong>November 2021</strong>, against Bangladesh. Since then, he has continued to play franchise cricket, most recently featuring for the <strong>Quetta Gladiators</strong> in the <strong>Pakistan Super League (PSL 2025)</strong>. Across his PSL career, he has played <strong>93 matches for four different franchises</strong>, amassing <strong>2,350 runs</strong>.</p><h3>Public reaction and privacy calls</h3><p>The swirling rumours have sparked a mix of curiosity and fatigue among fans, many of whom are urging the media to respect the couple’s privacy. Some argue that Malik’s personal life has often overshadowed his professional achievements, while others believe public figures inevitably face heightened scrutiny.</p><p>For now, both Malik and Javed have chosen to remain silent, neither confirming nor denying the separation reports. Until either issues an official statement, the divorce chatter remains in the realm of speculation.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Shoaib Malik’s life has long been under public glare, whether for his cricketing achievements or high-profile marriages. His relationship with Sana Javed was once seen as a fresh chapter after his divorce from Sania Mirza, but with rumours of a possible third separation, fans are left waiting for clarity.</p><p>As of now, it remains to be seen whether the couple will address the speculation or allow the rumours to fade. Until then, the story of Shoaib Malik’s marriages continues to keep him in the headlines — for reasons off the cricket pitch.</p>
