Who will get the custody of son Agastya after Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic divorce?

In a heartfelt joint statement on Instagram, Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya and Serbian actress Natasa Stankovic announced their decision to mutually part ways after four years of being together. The couple, who tied the knot in 2020 and welcomed their son Agastya the same year, emphasized that their primary focus remains the well-being of their child.

"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," Hardik shared on Instagram.

Who will get son Agastya's custody?

He continued, "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."

Rumors of the couple's impending divorce had been swirling since the IPL 2024 season, as Natasa Stankovic was notably absent from Hardik Pandya's matches, where she was usually a constant presence cheering him on. The news has now been confirmed, with both parties expressing their commitment to co-parenting Agastya and ensuring his happiness remains a top priority.

Despite the end of their marriage, Hardik Pandya and Natasa's decision to co-parent showcases their dedication to providing a stable and loving environment for their son. Their mutual respect and understanding in handling this personal matter publicly reflect their desire to prioritize Agastya's well-being above all else.

The couple has requested privacy during this challenging time, as they navigate the complexities of their new relationship dynamics while continuing to support their son's growth and happiness.

Where is Hardik Pandya?

As far as Hardik Pandya is concerned, the all-rounder is currently on a well-deserved break from cricket after a triumphant T20 World Cup campaign. Hardik will next be seen in action during the bilateral series against Sri Lanka later this month. 

Hardik Pandya has been removed from his post as the vice-captain of the Indian T20I side and Suryakumar Yadav has been made the skipper with Shubman Gill as his deputy. The decision has been made following consultations with the new head coach Gautam Gambhir.
