Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan is happily in love again. He is currently in a relationship with Sophie Shine, a UK-based entrepreneur. The couple made their relationship public on May 1, 2025, when Dhawan shared a sweet photo with Sophie on Instagram, captioning it “My Love.”
Since then, their bond has only grown stronger. The two are now reportedly living together and have been spotted at various public events, including cricket matches. Sophie has also embraced Indian culture, often seen wearing traditional Indian outfits at functions with Dhawan.
Birthday Celebration in the Maldives
Recently, the couple jetted off to the Maldives to celebrate Sophie’s 32nd birthday. Dhawan shared beautiful photos from their stay at a water villa resort. In the pictures, Sophie looked stunning in a bikini top and linen pants, perfect for the tropical setting.
Dhawan wished her with a loving caption:
“Happy Birthday My ❤️”
Several celebrities also chimed in with birthday wishes in the comments, including Jacqueline Fernandez, David Warner, Deanne Uppal, and Karishma Kotak.
One comment that caught everyone’s attention was from David Warner, who cheekily wrote:
“Fiji looks amazing mate 😂”
Fans were puzzled by Warner’s comment since the couple was in the Maldives. However, as Warner and Dhawan have played together for Sunrisers Hyderabad, many believe it was just an inside joke between the two good friends.
Dhawan Opens Up About Love
Shikhar Dhawan recently spoke about his personal life at the Times Now Conclave. He shared that he has found love again and is moving forward positively after his past experiences. Reflecting on his divorce, Dhawan said:
“I wouldn’t say I was unlucky in love—rather, my choices came from inexperience. But now, I have experience, and that will come in handy. It was a learning curve for me.”
It’s heartwarming to see Dhawan happy and embracing life with someone special again. Fans are cheering for this new chapter in his life!
