FARYAL Makhdoom is the wife of champion boxer Amir Khan – but their relationship has been far from plain sailing
In 2017 they were engaged in a war of words over Twitter with Amir accusing his wife being unfaithful, but now the boxer has been caught cheating himself…
Who is Faryal Makhdoom, how old is she and what’s her background?
Pakistani-American Faryal, 26, was born in Brooklyn – her father Shaukat and mother Zia have a luxury home on Staten Island.
She graduated from Rutgers University School of Arts & Science with a double major in political science and journalism.
The model also owns her own make-up brand and is an Instagram star.
On her website it says she “strives to be a role model for her little girl, showing her that sometimes the king is a woman.”
She married heavyweight boxer Amir Khan back in 2013, having been introduced to him by a mutual friend.
The couple tied the knot with a glamorous 1000-guest ceremony at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
How many children does Faryal Makhdoom have?
Faryal and Amir have two children – Lamisah and Alayna.
Lamisah was born in 2014 and on April 24, 2018 Faryal gave birth to their daughter Alayna.
Amir shared the news on Instagram, sharing a selfie of him and the newborn.
He captioned the pic: “Welcome to the world. With mine & @faryalmakhdoom new born, Weighing 8lbs 3oz ALAYNA KHAN.”
Why did Faryal Makhdoom and Amir Khan split? Are they back together?
Explosive tweets from Amir Khan’s Twitter account in 2017 claimed he has split from wife… and accused her of cheating on him with Anthony Joshua.
However, Faryal later claimed that both of their accounts had been hacked – only for Amir to confirm their break-up in a Snapchat video, prompting a “disgusted” response from his wife.
The initial tweet on the boxer’s account read: “So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I’m currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best.”
The couple’s relationship has also been rocked by numerous allegations that Amir has cheated.
In May 2018, beautician Sophia Hammani claimed that she spent the night with the boxer, just 17 days after their daughter Alayna was born.
Amir slammed the claims on Twitter branding them “nonsense” but his wife has since unfollowed him on Instagram.
