Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya took to social media on Thursday to announce his separation from his wife, Serbian actress Natasa Stankovic. The couple, who have been together for four years, revealed their decision to part ways in a joint statement.
“After 4 years of being together, Natasa and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest for the both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew a family,” Hardik wrote in his post.
The couple emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their son, Agastya, who was born in July 2020. “We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the centre of both our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us the privacy during this difficult and sensitive time,” they added.
Hardik and Natasa tied the knot on May 31, 2020, after announcing their engagement in January of the same year. Their relationship had been a popular topic of discussion in both the cricket and entertainment circles. The announcement of their separation has come as a surprise to fans and well-wishers, who had admired the couple’s seemingly happy relationship.
The couple’s statement has been met with messages of support and understanding from fans and fellow celebrities. Many have expressed their sadness at the news while also wishing the couple well in their future endeavors. As the couple navigates this difficult time, they have requested privacy for their family, particularly for their son, Agastya.
