Amir Khan wishes wife Faryal Makhdoom happy fifth wedding anniversary amid cheating scandal
The boxer posted a gushing tribute to his wife amidst the cheating scandal. The Sun reported he slept with a 22-year-old beautician days after his daughter was born
BOXER Amir Khan has marked his fifth anniversary to wife Faryal Makhdoom with a picture of them both smiling on their wedding day despite his cheating scandal.
The sentimental post comes after The Sun exclusively revealed the love rat slept with a 22-year-old beautician just 17 days after his US-born wife gave birth to their second daughter.
The Bolton-born boxer – who strongly denies the affair – shared the picture of the couple in happier days, captioning it: “Happy anniversary@FaryalMakhdoom mwah #5years #31May,” accompanied with a lips emoji.
But the usually social-media-active model , perhaps quite tellingly, did not respond to the post.
And the beauty firm boss also failed to mark the anniversary on her own platforms.
This comes after the mother-of-two made a very modern statement by unfollowing her husband on Instagram.
Amir’s gushing post received over 48,000 likes in eight hours and hundreds of comments.
In light of the recent allegations, one user wrote: “Oh please u don’t deserve her.”
Another added: “Be loyal to her Khan.”
Though the boxer has staunchly denied the allegations.
The boxer’s wife broke her silence after allegations of her husband’s cheating emerged by posting cryptic quotes on Instastory.
Faryal uploaded two quotations to her Instagram story hinting at how she was coping with the latest allegations of infidelity swirling around the Bolton-born brawler.
The first quote– attributed to Imam Ali – read: “Enduring hardship is more rewarding then enjoying ease.”
A second by the same Muslim cleric said: “It may happen that you ask [God] for something and he does not give it you to you in order to endow you with [something] of better quality [later].”
Just days ago, it was revealed that Faryal, 26, confronted the beautician who slept with the boxer just 17 days after the arrival of their second child.
She texted Sophia Hammani after discovering her number on the I’m A Celebrity star’s phone.
Sophia, 22, admitted she had spent the night with the boxer in his hotel room after they met at a London club earlier this month, but maintains she assumed he was divorced.
She said the 31-year-old former World Champion, worth £23million, left her just £20 for a cab to her home, eight miles away on the opposite side of London.
It’s since emerged that Faryal has forgiven Sophia for her part in the alleged cheating – texting her saying: “What a f***ing a**hole. He makes me sick. I cannot believe this man.”
Sophia has urged Amir’s wife to get rid of the love rat, saying: “He’s disgusting. He slept with me and his wife had just given birth. I nearly threw up when I saw they were still together. I felt so used.
“That must be every wife’s nightmare. That poor woman.
“She needs to bin him off once and for all. Surely this is unforgivable?”
She added: “She needs to get a divorce, he’s gross.
Faryal and Amir wed in 2013 and had daughter Lamaisah on May 23 2014. The couple had a public break-up in 2017 but later reconciled and welcomed their second daughter Alayna Khan on April 24.
After their split and reconciliation, the boxer blamed his marital problems on a “lack of communication”.
He said: “You want to change things at times, the way it went public wasn’t nice.
“Anger sometimes takes over.
“That happened in 2017.
“Hopefully going into 2018 we’ve both put that behind us, we’ve got a lovely baby coming this year.”
But in January model Emma Bond claimed Amir messaged her hours after appearing on Good Morning Britain with Faryal and telling viewers he was a changed man.
