Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and Indian tennis great Sania Mirza have long been said to be feuding. Malik and Mirza never addressed speculations that they could divorce owing to their disputes. In 2013, former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik married India's Sania Mirza, a tennis legend. The famous couple has a son, Izhaan Mirza Malik.

"Khabre chal rahi hai, taluqat acche nahi hai (Rumours are going around that all's not well in the relationship). What do you want to say?" Malik was asked on Geo News programme 'Score'.
Nothing on it. On Eid I would like to say that had we been together it would have been great. But she has got commitments in IPL. She is doing shows in IPL. That's why we are not together. We share love like always. I miss her a lot, that I can say," Malik said. "There are (professional) commitments. But Eid is a day when you miss a lot the people who are close to you."
Malik and Sania ignore such rumours. "This is way neither I released a statement nor did she," he added.
Sania Mirza retired from tennis during the WTA Dubai Duty Free Championships in February 2023. Sania played alongside American Madison Keys in Dubai. In the tournament's opening round, the couple lost in straight sets.
36-year-old Sania began playing tennis in 2003. She won six Grand Slams. Three were women's doubles championships with Martina Hingis. Sania won the Australian Open in 2009, the French Open in 2012, and the US Open with Bruno Soares in mixed doubles with Mahesh Bhupathi.
