Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and his new wife, actress
Sana Javed
, are making headlines amid rumours that they are expecting their first child together.
Speculation began after Sana appeared on a
Ramzan special
episode of a popular
Pakistani television
show. In a viral clip circulating on social media, the actress was seen reacting strongly to certain food items, appearing nauseous, which led fans to believe she might be pregnant.
Social media users were quick to comment on the video. One user wrote, “I think she’s pregnant; this happens in early pregnancy,” while another added, “Is she expecting?”
Shoaib Malik is already a father to
Izhaan Mirza Malik
, whom he co-parents with his ex-wife, Indian tennis star Sania Mirza. The former couple welcomed their son on October 30, 2018.
Before welcoming their baby, Sania had expressed her desire to carry forward her family name. Speaking at a Gender Bias panel back in 2018, she shared, “My husband and I have decided that whenever we have a child, the child will have Mirza Malik as the surname and not just Malik.”
During the same discussion, Sania also revealed Shoaib’s wish to be a dad to a baby girl, adding, “He actually wants a daughter."
While neither Shoaib nor Sana has publicly addressed the pregnancy rumours, the couple has fans and the media on bump watch.
