Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya have announced their split. In an official statement released on Thursday evening, the couple confirmed their decision to part ways.
They described it as a difficult choice and emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their 3-year-old son, Agastya.
“After being together for 4 years, Hardik and I have mutually decided to separate. We gave our relationship our best efforts and believe this is the best decision for both of us. It was a tough choice, considering the happiness, mutual respect, and companionship we shared as we built our family,” their statement read.
They expressed gratitude for their son Agastya and vowed to prioritize his happiness through co-parenting. They also requested privacy and understanding during this sensitive time.
Natasa Stankovic, a former Bigg Boss contestant and dancer, married cricketer Hardik Pandya on May 31, 2020. They renewed their vows in Hindu and Christian ceremonies in February 2023.
Rumors about their separation surfaced in May this year when Natasa removed ‘Pandya’ from her Instagram handle. A Reddit post titled “Natasa and Hardik separated?” further fueled speculation, questioning their recent photos together and Natasa’s absence from IPL 2024 matches.
Earlier this month, Natasa posted a cryptic video on Instagram stories seemingly addressing the separation rumors. She quoted, “Just a gentle reminder from me to you again, God did not remove the Red Sea, He simply parted it. Which means, he won’t remove a problem from your life, he will simply make a way through it.”
Recently, Natasa appears to have relocated to her hometown in Serbia. She was spotted at Mumbai airport with Agastya, carrying bags while avoiding paparazzi and declining to pose for photos.
