Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan has admitted his marriage to former BBC weather girl Reham Khan.
As reported by Daily Mail, on Monday, Imran revealed the truth, “I am going to Pakistan to share the good news of my marriage with the nation. I have nothing to hide. Getting married isn’t a crime.”
However, Imran’s sister Aleema is not amused and has said that she doesn’t want to meet the new Mrs Khan. On New Year’s Eve, Imran had tweeted saying the reports of his marriage were ‘greatly exaggerated’.
The 62-year-old cricket legend is the head of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf Party (PTI), while Reham is a divorcee and mother-of-three. She lived in Britain for part of her previous marriage, and has worked as a weather girl and presenter with BBC.
Imran, who was previously married to Jemima Goldsmith Khan, has two sons with her – Sulaiman Isa and Kasim. The couple divorced in 2004. Jemima had revealed in October last year that she was planning to take off the ‘Khan’ from her surname since her ex-husband was about to remarry.
Speaking from Islamabad on Tuesday, Imran defended himself by saying, “A person can marry whenever he or she wants.”
