Hardik Pandya-Natasa Stankovic Divorced After 4 Years Of Marriage, To Co-Parent 3-Year-Old Son

Hardik Pandya announced separation from his wife Natasa Stankovic in an Instagram post, resting months of speculation around a strain in their marriage. The Indian cricketer and the Serbian model-actress tied the knot on May 31, 2020 in a private ceremony. On July 18, they issued a joint statement on social media confirming their split. In the post, the couple shared that they will be co-parenting their son Agastya.

The joint statement confirming the end of their 4-year-long marriage read, “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 for the both of us. 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.”

It further read, “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. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us the privacy during this difficult and sensitive time.” The former couple turned off comments in their post, seemingly to avoid trolling.

A couple of days back, Natasa Stankovic was snapped at the Mumbai airport as she made her way out of the country to be at her home in Serbia. Her and Hardik's son Agastya was in tow. After landing there, she dropped a series of photos on her Instagram stories, calling it her “home”. 

The former couple had remained tight-lipped for long about a strain in their relationship even as rumours flew fast and thick. They had marked their 4th wedding anniversary back in May on social media. Last week, Hardik had attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding festivities without Natasa. He was instead accompanied by his brother Krunal Pandya and the latter's wife Pankhuri.
