Mumbai: Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan is reportedly set to begin a new chapter in his personal life, with strong buzz suggesting that he will marry his Irish partner Sophie Shine in February 2026. While no official announcement has been made yet, sources close to the couple indicate that wedding preparations are quietly underway.
The wedding is expected to be held in the Delhi-NCR region and is likely to be an intimate affair attended by close friends and family members, along with select personalities from the cricketing world and the film industry. Reports suggest the ceremony may take place in the third week of February.
Sophie Shine, a corporate professional, currently heads the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation and is said to have played a significant role in the former opener’s life over the past few years. Their bond reportedly began as a friendship during their time in Dubai and gradually deepened away from public attention.
Public interest in their relationship intensified during the Champions Trophy 2025, when Sophie was seen accompanying Dhawan at matches and related events. Since then, the couple has maintained a relatively low profile, choosing to keep their personal life private.
Dhawan was previously married to Ayesha Mukherjee, with the couple finalising their divorce in 2023. If the reports hold true, the upcoming wedding would mark Dhawan’s second marriage.
For now, fans await an official confirmation, even as speculation continues to grow around the much-talked-about union.
