Mystery over Imran's second marriage
Cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has secretly married a former BBC anchor Reham Khan in a hush hush wedding, according to media reports.
The 62-year-old Imran is believed to have tied the knot last weekend with Pakistani news anchor Reham, 41, who is a divorcee and mother-of-three.
She lived in Britain for part of her previous marriage, when she was a weather girl and presenter on the BBC regional news programme 'South Today'.
Imran Khan on Thursday released a statement, that did little to clarify his marital status.
In a press statement by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf's central media cell, Imran said “marriage cannot be entered into lightly… second marriages especially need to be considered carefully as children are involved”.
The PTI Chairman did however remain cryptic about whether the marriage had already taken place:
“We are all in a state of mourning at present and it is only respectful that we wait for an appropriate time,” he said.
Imran was previously married to Jemima 'Goldsmith' Khan and has two sons with her, Sulaiman Isa and Kasim. The couple divorced in 2004.
Jemima had revealed in October this year that she was ditching the surname 'Khan' and reverting to her family name because her ex-husband was about to remarry.
She said at the time: "My ex-husband, Imran, recently announced that he intended to get remarried soon, which made me think it's probably time to change my name back to Goldsmith."
A family friend said that relatives including his sisters were against the marriage and were surprised he went ahead.
