Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie Shine's Wedding
Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie tied the knot on February 21, 2026, in a private ceremony held in the Delhi-NCR region. The wedding was attended by close family members and a select group of friends—including Yuzvendra Chahal, who shared glimpses of the ceremony on social media. Their relationship had been a subject of public discussion for quite some time. According to reports, the couple met in Dubai, and after dating for over a year, they confirmed their relationship in 2025. Sophie, originally from Ireland, currently serves as the head of the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation.
Speculation regarding their relationship first began in 2024, when the couple was spotted together at several events. By May 2025, they made their relationship public, putting an end to months of ongoing rumors. Dhawan, who turned 40 this year, got engaged to Sophie on January 12, and they tied the knot in February. With the legal formalities now complete, the couple has officially embarked on the next chapter of their lives.
