With the release of a joint statement on Instagram today, India cricket player Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic’s much-hyped split rumours have finally come to an end.
After four years of marriage, the pair announced their split, citing what was in their “best interest for the both of us.” They did, however, say they would still share parental responsibilities for their three-year-old son Agastya.
“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 of both of us,” Pandya wrote in an Instagram post.
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,” he added.
“We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be the centre of both of our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness,” the pair continued in their message. We respectfully ask for your cooperation and understanding in order to maintain our privacy during this trying and delicate period.
Notably, on May 31, 2020, the Indian all-rounder married Natasa, a dancer, model, and Bollywood actress from Serbia. The couple had twice exchanged vows, once in a Christian ceremony and once through Hindu ceremonies.
