Former Pakistan international cricketer Imad Wasim has confirmed that he has entered into a second marriage, months after publicly announcing his divorce from Sania Ashfaq, bringing an end to their six-year marriage.
In a personal statement, the all-rounder reflected on the breakdown of his previous relationship, acknowledging regrets while emphasizing that his children remain the most important part of his life.
Divorce Finalized in December 2025
According to Imad Wasim, the divorce was formally concluded in late December 2025, following years of unresolved personal issues. He stated that the decision was made after prolonged efforts to reconcile failed.
The separation was first announced publicly in December through separate statements from both parties, with Imad requesting privacy and asking the public to avoid sharing old photos or referring to Sania Ashfaq as his spouse.

He further warned against the spread of misleading narratives, stating that legal action could be taken in cases of defamation.
Marriage to Nyla Raja Confirmed
The cricketer confirmed that he has now married Nyla Raja, a lawyer and social media personality. According to Imad Wasim, the decision was made after careful consideration and with the guidance of his parents, with the goal of building a peaceful and stable future.

Short video clips circulating on social media appear to show the couple celebrating at a private cake-cutting ceremony, which has drawn mixed reactions online.
Appeal for Privacy and Respect
Reiterating his stance, Imad Wasim appealed once again for privacy, stressing that personal family matters—especially those involving children—should not become public spectacles.
Despite the separation, he maintained that he would continue to fulfil all responsibilities as a father, prioritizing the well-being of his children.
Sania Ashfaq’s Position on the Separation
Sania Ashfaq had earlier stated that she spoke publicly not out of revenge but to stand up for herself and her children. She added that the matter remained legally contested and would ultimately be resolved through proper legal proceedings.
The former couple share three children, and both have acknowledged the importance of co-parenting despite the separation.
Public Reaction and Ongoing Debate
The development has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with reactions ranging from congratulatory messages for Imad Wasim to renewed debate over the highly publicized divorce and remarriage.
As public attention continues, both parties have emphasized the need for restraint, respect, and sensitivity, particularly where children and extended families are concerned.
