Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President and Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz’s son, Junaid Safdar, confirmed Thursday that he and his wife had divorced, more than two years after they tied the knot.
“News about my divorce is true,” Safdar said in an Instagram story.
The couple got married in August 2021, with their wedding functions taking place in London and Pakistan, since PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif was in the British capital in self-exile.
The couple stayed away from the media spotlight during their time together.
“This is an entirely private matter and I request the media to respect our privacy,” the seasoned politician’s son said in the story.
“I hope with this decision we find our peace In Shaa Allah. I will speak no further on this matter.”
“I wish her well,” Junaid added.
Soon after the announcement, Junaid removed all his pictures with his former wife on Instagram.
