Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic Announce Separation

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has announced his separation from wife Natasa Stankovic after four years together.

The announcement, made on Thursday came after months of speculation, particularly during the 2024 Indian Premier League season. Observant fans had noted changes on Natasa’s Instagram, where she had removed individual photos of Hardik and his name from her profile.

In a joint statement on Instagram, the former couple shared their mutual decision to part ways while committing to co-parenting their son, Agastya.

“After 4 years of being together, Natasa and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest for the both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect, and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew a family,” Hardik stated.

“We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the centre of both our lives, and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness,” he added.

“We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us privacy during this difficult and sensitive time,” Hardik concluded.
