Amir Khan and his wife Faryal Makhdoom are separated over sexting a lady
Amir Khan and his glamorous Instagram influencer wife Faryal Makhdoom have separated and are currently living apart after the former world champion boxer was caught sexting another woman, MailOnline can exclusively reveal today.
Khan’s tumultuous marriage to the mother of his three children is on the rocks after the sportsman approached bridal model Sumaira online and eventually asked her to send raunchy pictures.
MailOnline can now reveal that Khan and Faryal are separated and living apart. It is understood that the former world champion and Instagram influencer are splitting their time between their homes in Dubai and Britain while Faryal decides whether she wants to end their 10-year marriage.
A source close to the Khan family told MailOnline: ‘Faryal is taking time to think about whether or not to walk away. She’s going through a very difficult time and choosing to focus on her children while she and Amir continue to co-parent.’
MailOnline has asked Mr Khan to comment.
Khan has admitted he ‘regretted’ messaging a model named Sumaira, revealing he’d contacted her out of ‘boredom’ and telling The Sun newspaper that he’d go through therapy to stop him sexting other women.
Initially complimenting her tattoos, the former boxer’s messages quickly turned racy, telling the model that she ‘looked good (in a) G string’, suggesting that she’d had a boob job and asking her to send raunchy pictures, before then trying to meet up with her in person.
Faryal had previously appeared to defend her husband, blasting Sumaira in a lengthy Instagram post after the model claimed Khan had told her his marriage was ‘a bit of a business arrangement’.
It came after Amir shared a birthday tribute to his wife Faryal yesterday. Uploading a photo of them both to Instagram, the sportsman, 36, smiled sweetly next to his wife, 32, as they took part in a pottery class in the snap.
Amir, who is currently in Dubai, captioned it: ‘Happy birthday Faryal. You deserve the world and more,’ with a heart emoji.
He then reiterated the message on his Story as he added another photo of his wife and wrote: Since its 12am in Dubai, I want to wish Faryal a happy birthday.’
In the second post, his wife looked stunning as she posed for a selfie with a full face of glamorous makeup.
