Now that the internet has new grounds for fire: veteran Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik will reportedly marry aspiring actress Laiba Khan on February 26, 2026. This “breaking news” has sent fans into a frenzy -- particularly in view of Malik’s prominent marriage history. Before you save the date, however, let’s see what is going in real time.
Where did the rumor start?
The speculation blew up after a string of viral posts on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok that announced a secret ceremony was set for the end of the month. But because Malik was reportedly marrying Sana Javed in 2024, many netizens believed another "big reveal" was on the horizon.
The Reality Check
Despite these trending headlines, however, several important things can be found to debunk this marital dispute. Recent Wedding of Laiba Khan: A couple of weeks ago, in late January 2026, actress Laiba Khan displayed beautiful pictures of her Nikah in Madinah. She was apparently married to a businessman and pledged to not focus on her public identity, even if it would be as long now. Status of Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed:

Rumors surround celebrity couples of “trouble in paradise” abound; yet there have been no official signs of divorce or engagement. No evidence: Shoaib Malik and Laiba Khan neither have anything to confirm. In a digital age where "clickbait" reigns supreme, it seems this story is one of the many social media accounts leveraging stars for clicks.
Final Verdict
Though the date February 26th is circulated widely between people on online forums, there is no reliable evidence that a wedding is taking place between these two celebrity couples. For now, Shoaib Malik is staying put, and Laiba Khan is enjoying her recent, very real marriage to someone else.
