Hardik's sad ending to a 3-time marriage

Celebrity couple cricketer Hardik Pandya and his ex-wife Natasha Stankovic have finally divorced after long-standing rumors in the media.

Neither party has revealed the reason for the divorce, but fans are expressing sympathy for Hardik and advising him to move on.

Their love story has always attracted media attention. From meeting in a nightclub to becoming parents before marriage, they were often in the spotlight.

Here’s a look back at their journey from dating to marriage:

Hardik and Natasha’s love story began at a nightclub in Mumbai in 2018, where they first met. Natasha didn’t know Hardik was a cricketer at the time, but Hardik was smitten from their first encounter.

Proposal in movie style

Hardik shared that he met Natasha at a club at one o’clock in the morning. Natasha initially thought Hardik was just a random person, which sparked their conversation.

Their relationship evolved from there, with Hardik inviting Natasha to his birthday, marking the start of their friendship. They started dating soon after, but kept their relationship private until 2020.

Pregnancy before marriage

In 2020, Hardik proposed to Natasha in a cinematic style on a yacht, and the proposal video was shared on Instagram. Shortly after, the global lockdown was announced due to Covid-19. In the middle of the lockdown, the couple surprised fans by sharing their wedding pictures on Instagram. They had a court marriage on May 31, 2020, and soon after, they announced Natasha’s pregnancy.

Their son, Agastya Pandya, was born in July 2020, two months after their wedding. Despite the media buzz about Natasha being pregnant before marriage, the couple often shared happy moments with their son on social media.

In 2023, three years after their son’s birth, Hardik and Natasha decided to marry again in grand ceremonies following Hindu and Christian customs. However, during this year’s IPL, news broke that their relationship had soured.

Initially, the media and social media speculated that the divorce rumors were a publicity stunt. This speculation intensified when Natasha deleted all her wedding photos with Hardik from Instagram and removed his surname from her account.

Fans were initially concerned, but as neither Hardik nor Natasha addressed the rumors, many believed it was a publicity stunt. Some even suggested it was to garner sympathy for Hardik to secure a place in the World Cup squad.
