Amir Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom reveals she is PREGNANT weeks after bitter split from boxer
AMIR Khan's wife Faryal Makhdoom has revealed she is PREGNANT weeks after she bitterly split from the boxer.
The 26-year-old made the announcement on Twitter tonight, writing: "Alhumdulilah , blessed with baby number 2 in my tummy #excited eating away, can't stop".
She also shared her happy news with her followers on Snapchat, with a blank image and a caption saying: "I've been waiting to announce something very special .... Alhumdulilah, I am pregnant with my second child.
"Time for me to get fat and chunkayyyy".
Earlier today, Faryal posted a video of the couple's three-year-old daughter Lamaisah touching her own stomach as she asks her: "You have a baby in your tummy?" before the little girl replies: "Yeah, mummy's tummy."
Faryal and Amir publicly split following a Twitter spat earlier this month, in which Khan claimed his wife had cheated on him with fellow boxing star Anthony Joshua.
Reacting to Faryal's bombshell news, one of her followers asked: "Does Amir know?" while another said: "Plot twist."
One Twitter wag joked: "Congratulations @anthonyfjoshua" and another tagged both Khan and Joshua as he quizzed: "Congrats, who's the dad?"
Faryal revealed her pregnancy hours after a sly dig on Twitter at her estranged husband as she praised Conor McGregor for his devotion to his partner.
Amir, who is yet to respond to the news, is in Las Vegas where McGregor will fight Floyd Mayweather in the richest boxing match in history tonight.
Her announcement came after the couple, who married in 2013, turned to a spiritual leader in a bid to save their marriage.
