Their chemistry was undeniable.
Shikhar Dhawan married Sophie Shineduring a stunning and private ceremony held on February 21, 2026.
This romantic event marks a joyful new beginning for the former Indian opening batsman and his devoted new wife.
The couple had been dating for over a year before they finally decided to share their love story publicly.
Their relationship first became public in May 2025, after months of intense media speculation and various fan theories.
Observers spotted the pair together during the competitive environment of the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai.
Their chemistry was undeniable when they later attended a prominent media conclave to discuss their shared future and goals.
The cricketer hinted at finding love again during that event, which quickly sparked excitement across all social platforms.
Fans were delighted when the couple officially announced their engagement on Instagram on January 12, 2026.
The pre-wedding celebrations began with a vibrant haldi ceremony, which took place on February 20, 2026, with close friends.
Sophie shared colourful glimpses of these rituals on her social media account to the delight of her many followers.
This union represents the second marriage for the sportsman following his highly publicised divorce from his previous partner.
He officially separated from his former wife, Aesha Mukherjee, in October 2023.
They got married in 2011, and share a son named Zoravar who often travelled with the team.
The legal proceedings in a Delhi court revealed that the cricketer had suffered significant mental trauma during the relationship.
A judge observed that his former spouse had reportedly kept him away from his only child for several years.
While the court granted the divorce, it did not provide him with permanent custody of his son.
Instead, the legal ruling awarded him specific visitation rights and the ability to conduct regular video calls with Zoravar.
These calls are permitted for a reasonable duration while the child resides in Australia with his mother and sisters.
The sportsman has previously admitted that he was subsequently blocked from all forms of virtual communication with his child.
He has often spoken about the deep importance of personal growth and finding true happiness after a painful divorce.
Fellow cricketers and celebrities have sent an outpouring of congratulatory messages to Shikhar Dhawan on his remarriage.
Supporters hope that this new chapter will bring the emotional stability and peace that the star athlete truly deserves.
