Islamabad: Pakistan’s cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan on Tuesday described as “baseless” reports that he had married for a third time.

“I have not gotten married. When I do I will announce and celebrate publicly,” the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chairman tweeted.

Geo News on Tuesday reported that Imran Khan had decided to get married yet again.

Imran Khan’s to-be wife was reported to be Maryam, sister of Bushra, the leader’s spiritual guide.

His first wife was Pakistani-British journalist Jemima Goldsmith. He has two sons from his first marriage.

He married Reham Khan, a political talk show host, in January 2015. They divorced after just nine months.

PTI spokesman Naeemul Haque also said: “Rumours about IK (Imran Khan) getting married are totally wrong. He is spending time with his boys in England and will be back in Pakistan on Sunday.”
