Amir Khan says Wife will Leave if He does more ‘silly things’

Amir Khan has praised his wife Faryal Makhdoom for her forgiving nature after he was publicly embroiled in several cheating scandals.

But he said that if he does more “silly things”, she will leave him.

In July 2023, the couple allegedly separated and lived apart over the summer after Amir admitted to messaging a bridal model.

Speaking about his wife on the They Don’t Teach This At School with Myleene Klass podcast, Amir said:

“Ah she’s brilliant, yeah, she’s good… Well, she is the big boss.

“I always get told off because I do silly things and I got caught doing silly things and obviously I’m human at the end of it.

“She’s very forgiving, but I think you know if you keep on pushing someone it’s going to get too much, she’s gonna say you know what, get away from me.

“I can see that she loves me to bits and she’s really caring and stuff, because honestly speaking there’s a lot of stuff that she does behind the scenes that people don’t see.

“Like for example, you know, she set my training camp up, she set the contracts, the lawyers she deals with, the accountants she deals with, she deals with all the bills that we have in the UK and all that.

“We have this payment to make, this payment to make.

“She does everything. I don’t have no house headache, she takes care of all that, like all the admin work, because I can’t do that.

“But it’s good that she’s taken the pressure away from me on that sense…

“And you know, sometimes you need someone like a good backbone, and there’s someone there for you.”

“Someone to take that pressure away from you.”

Three days after his eviction was broadcast on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, he allegedly contacted a model named Sumaira and begged her for racy pictures.

Sumaira claimed Amir told her that “he and Faryal were not properly together and that it was a bit of a business arrangement”.

Amir later admitted he “regretted” messaging Sumaira, saying he contacted her out of “boredom”. But he insisted he was not cheating as it was “just a few texts”.

After saying he was open to therapy, Amir revealed Faryal was “disgusted” at the news of him messaging another woman.

Amir said his behaviour was “not nice” and noted that his children will one day read about what happened, which he said would “upset them”.

In response to her husband’s message exchanges, Faryal said she “refuses to play out my marriage publicly”.

Faryal wrote that “after a long week of accusations, slander and harassment I have decided it is now time to address the situation that has unfolded”.

Faryal described Sumaira’s actions as a “hate campaign” and denied that she is “responsible for Sumaira’s current mental state”.

Another woman had also claimed that she slept with Amir Khan after he begged her for “no holds barred sex”.

Their fling ended when Faryal called her and threatened to name and shame her.

In August 2023, former BBC presenter Suzi Mann said Amir made sexual advances towards her after meeting at an event.

Amir denied the accusations and said he does not remember meeting Suzi.

Faryal also dismissed claims that she threatened to “destroy” Suzi.
