Imran Khan’s ex-wife Jemima Goldsmith revealed in October that she was ditching the surname ‘Khan’ and reverting to her family name because her ex-husband was about to remarry.
She said at the time: ‘My ex-husband, Imran, recently announced that he intended to get remarried soon, which made me think it’s probably time to change my name back to Goldsmith.’
The couple are yet to make an official announcement – which will apparently be forthcoming in the new year - but sources close to them have confirmed they are married.
Another well-known news anchor in Pakistan, Farhat Javed Rabani, Tweeted on December 27: ‘Ahmmm... an anchor has married a politician today... #WeddingBells’
A family friend said that relatives including his sisters were against the marriage and were surprised he went ahead.
