Hardik Pandya, a prominent allrounder in the Indian cricket team, and Natasa Stankovic recently released a statement together informing that they were separating. Reports of their breakup surfaced over the past several months, and the official announcement has now confirmed this. Hardik Pandya played a critical role in India's triumph in the 2024 T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, Natasa, who is of Serbian descent, has a background in acting. They got engaged in January, 2020 and also have a son named Agastya who is four years old. Recently, Natasa went to Serbia with Agastya while Hardik Pandya continued with his cricket commitments. She shared pictures of her trip to Serbia on Wednesday. In response, Pandya posted a series of emojis on her post which received positive feedback from many social media users. Despite facing online criticisms after announcing their split, they both shared a joint message on Instagram on July 19.

We have decided to part ways amidst our fond memories, shared respect, and happiness as a family. Our son Agastya is our top priority, and we plan to co-parent while ensuring his well-being. Please respect our privacy during this sensitive phase. Thank you for your support. Hardik/Natasa. At first, the relationship rumors emerged in 2018, with Natasa calling Pandya her 'best friend' on Instagram in 2019. They got engaged on January 1, 2020, welcomed son Agastya in July, and renewed vows in Udaipur on February 14, 2023. The media adored their public appearances like the one between Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, representing an Indian cricketer-actor couple. However, by May 2024, speculations suggested trouble in paradise. Their social media presence suddenly declined after consistently sharing happy moments together.
Earlier, Natasa attended IPL games where Pandya was a player, but in IPL 2024, this was no longer the case, sparking rumors of a split between the two. Thursday's news has now validated these speculations.
