(AAP) PAKISTAN’S legendary cricket star and politician, Imran Khan, has tied the knot, ending weeks of speculation about whether one of the country’s most famous bachelors was getting married for a second time.
KHAN married Reham Khan, a former BBC journalist who now hosts a talk show on Pakistani television, during a ceremony on Thursday at his house on the outskirts of the capital, Islamabad. Party officials said it was a simple ceremony.
“We hope that this marriage will be successful, and it will be a good omen for the nation,” said Naeemul Haq, a senior official with Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf political party.
Khan, who led Pakistan to the World Cup in 1992, was previously married to British socialite Jemima Khan and has two sons.
His new wife reportedly has three kids from a previous marriage. Khan’s PTI is the third largest party in the parliament, and he has been one of the most vocal opponents to the current government.
