Former India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan exchanged wedding vows with his long-time partner Sophie Shine at a private function in the Delhi NCR region on Saturday. The ceremony was attended by family members and a select circle of friends, reflecting the couple’s preference for an intimate celebration over a grand public affair.
The pair had kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight until earlier this year, when they officially announced their engagement on social media. Sharing a heartfelt message at the time, they spoke about embracing a shared future and thanked supporters for their good wishes.
Celebrations leading up to the wedding included a vibrant sangeet ceremony, glimpses of which Dhawan posted online. Wedding moments later gained wider attention after former teammate Yuzvendra Chahal shared photographs from the special day, prompting congratulatory messages from fans and members of the cricket fraternity.
Dhawan and Sophie were first noticed together during the 2025 Champions Trophy in Dubai, where they were seen watching a match side by side. Over time, their appearances together sparked speculation, though confirmation of their relationship only came when Dhawan made it public.
Sophie Shine, an Ireland-born professional, comes from a strong academic and corporate background. She completed her studies in Marketing and Management in Ireland and currently works with Northern Trust Corporation in Abu Dhabi, where she holds a senior leadership role. Beyond her corporate career, she is also involved in philanthropic initiatives linked to the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation.
The wedding marks a new beginning for Dhawan, who was previously married to Ayesha Mukherjee. The former couple share a son, Zoravar, and separated in 2023.
As congratulatory messages continue to pour in, the cricketer and his bride step into married life surrounded by the goodwill of fans and well-wishers across the globe.
