Hardik Pandya has shared that he and his wife Natasa Stankovic are going separate ways after four years together. He made this decision known on July 18, after much talk about it. Hardik announced this on his Instagram posting a joint statement with Natasa.
Rumors started during the 2024 Indian Premier League season, when a post on Reddit noted that Natasa had deleted their photos from her Instagram. At that time, she also removed Hardik’s name from her profile.
Mutual decision and co-parenting
In their statement, they said they’ve decided together to go separate ways and will co-parent their son Agastya.
“After being together for 4 years, Natasa and I have decided to part ways mutually. We tried our best together and gave it our all. We believe this is best for both of us. It was a tough decision, given the joy, respect, and companionship we shared as we grew our family,” Hardik shared on Instagram.
“We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be the focus of our lives. We’ll co-parent to ensure his happiness,” he added.
“We kindly ask for your support and understanding to give us privacy during this sensitive time,” Hardik concluded.
Hardik Pandya married Natasa Stankovic on May 31, 2020. They welcomed their child on July 30 of the same year. In February 2023 nearly three years after their wedding they renewed their vows in Udaipur.
On Valentine’s Day, they held a private ceremony in Udaipur with close friends and family, following Christian rituals with a white theme.
After the T20 World Cup in 2024 Pandya mentioned he was going through tough times but hadn’t discussed his troubles publicly. Recently, Pandya was not included in India’s leadership group for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka, where they’ll play 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs.
In the past year, Hardik Pandya faced tough times both on and off the field. People booed him during the IPL matches, and Mumbai Indians didn’t perform well under his captaincy. However, he shined in the T20 World Cup.
