Amir Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom posts defiant message vowing to ‘move on’ hours after boxer looks downcast as he leaves marital home
AMIR Khan's wife Faryal Makhdoom has vowed to "move on" and not "wait for an apology" after the boxer was spotted looking downcast as he left their marital home following a 10-minute visit.
Khan returned to the UK yesterday after flying back from Dubai, days after he announced their split online, accusing her of cheating on him and sparking a bitter feud.
But model Faryal hit back, accusing him of being the unfaithful party as the pair's relationship breakdown played out on social media.
Faryal, 26, tweeted tonight: "Don't wait for an apology or acknowledgement of your pain. Feel it. Let it leave you. And move on."
Khan was seen being driven to their home in a silver Range Rover in Bolton, Gtr Manchester, at 3pm yesterday.
But after just 10 minutes, he left the property in a different car - a white 4x4 - looking downbeat as he stared through the passenger window at the rain.
Wife Faryal also took an unsubtle dig at Khan, retweeting a message to her followers shortly after he left which said: "Cheating is a choice, not a mistake."
Earlier Khan gave a thumbs up as he returned to Britain following his bitter marriage split with Faryal.
The boxer was pictured meeting his dad, Shah, at Manchester Airport after returning from Dubai.
It comes after Amir announced he is divorcing Brooklyn-born Faryal on Twitter last week - sparking an online war of words between the pair.
The mother of his child claimed the boxer had never mentioned getting a divorce before his explosive flurry of tweets, which also accused her of cheating on him with heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua.
In a lengthy statement she said she was “confused” by her husband’s shocking tweets and was convinced his account had been hacked.
She also claimed tweets sent from her account - which claimed she could "destroy" her husband with "evidence" - were sent by a hacker.
In the statement, the mum-of-one said: "I am no cheat, that's not me and never will be.
"My account was genuinely hacked and I thought Amir's was too as he never mentioned a divorce to me and instead went to social media -- I was a bit confused.
"This is a private matter in my life that's blown out of proportion and it's not right for me as a woman nor my little girl.
"I'm not sure where Amir has gotten his information from and whether he was under the influence or what was going through his head when he did this -- But clearly as many of you may no I am no cheat that's not me and never will be. (Never ever been a story about me in the past, and never will be)
"From today onwards I will not talk about this matter as it's my marriage and a very touchy/sensitive matter to me."
Faryal later shared a photo of her cuddling their daughter on Instagram, with the caption: "My little angel."
Amir later confirmed his plan to divorce Faryal in a Snapchat video, but apologised for footage of him looking cosy with model Gulbahor Becknazar in the back of a cab in Dubai.
He said: "I was so stressed with all the drama and I let myself go."
He added: "Hi everyone. I just want to apologise for my behaviour yesterday, I know its something you don't wanna see but [...] Faryal has driven me to do this.
He added: "They've taken my daughter away from me, she's in New York. Faryal's threatening me to never see my daughter again.
"I hate drama. She was really nasty to me, 'I'm not gonna let you see your daughter, I want to finish with you'.
"It has just made do what I did yesterday."
Khan added: "It's wrong that she's using all this against me and making herself so look so good and saying to me 'I'm not gonna let you see your daughter'".
