Imran Khan, Reham Khan divorce confirmed
Pakistani media had reported in September that all was not well between Imran and Reham. Pakistan’s most respected cricket captain was unhappy with Reham’s growing political ambitions, reported Pakistan Today.
Imran had to take to social media to deny that his relationship with Reham was in the doldrums. Reports also suggested that Imran was back with Jemima and her children in England. He divorced his first wife Jemima Khan in 2004. The relationship with Reham apparently worsened since Imran returned to Pakistan.
