“Decided to separate ways peacefully”- Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic issue a joint statement confirming their split

Finally, a joint statement from Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic on Thursday, July 18, confirmed their separation, confirming the reports circulating that the couple was calling it quits.

Reports surfaced during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, indicating that things weren’t going well between Hardik and Natasa. The pair didn’t say anything about it, though. In contrast to past IPL seasons, Natasa was not spotted going to the games with Hardik, which sparked more rumours. Four years after their marriage, the celebrity couple ultimately made the decision to “mutually” separate ways.

Natasa and I have chosen to split ways amicably after four years of dating. We feel that this is best for the two of us because we gave it our all and tried our hardest together. Given the happiness, respect, and camaraderie we shared as a family and throughout our time together, this was a difficult choice for us to make,” the cricket player wrote on Instagram.

The first time Hardik Pandya and Natasa saw one other was in 2018.

On January 1, 2020, in Dubai, the famous cricket player proposed marriage to the Bollywood star. A few months later, during the Covid-19 shutdown, they got married in a small-scale ceremony at home. On July 30, 2020, a boy named Agastya was born into their family. They made it clear in their announcement that they will share parental responsibilities for the child.

The pair said in a statement released on Thursday, “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.”

In closing, the pair asked that people respect their choice and respect their privacy during “this difficult and sensitive time”.

The message concluded, “We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us the privacy during this difficult and sensitive time.”
