NEW DELHI: Star India all-rounder
Hardik Pandya
took to Instagram on Thursday to share a significant personal update. The all-rounder revealed that he and his wife,
Natasa Stankovic
, have decided to go their separate ways, stating that they have "mutually parted ways."
"After 4 years of being together, Natasa and I have decided to mutually part ways.
We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest for the both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew a family.
We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the centre of both our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us the privacy during this difficult and sensitive time," Hardik posted on Instagram.
Hardik and Natasa's relationship began during the Covid-19 lockdown, leading to their marriage in 2020. They welcomed their son Agastya in the same year.
In 2023, Hardik and Natasa renewed their vows in Udaipur through a Christian ceremony and traditional Hindu rituals.
Speculation about a split between the couple started to surface online in the early months of this year when keen-eyed followers observed that Natasa had opted to remove 'Pandya' from her Instagram handle, fueling rumors of a possible divorce.
Recently, Hardik was seen attending the wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai without Natasa by his side.
