Sania Mirza pregnant after eight years of marriage

Amidst quite a bit of controversy, Indian Sania Mirza married Pakistani cricket captain Shoaib Malik in April 2010 and the power couple is now joyfully expecting their first child.

The 31-year-old Mirza took to her 25-million following on social media to announce her pregnancy, posting an image of a baby bottle and infant bodysuit hanging between T-shirts bearing her and her husband’s names. The 36-year-old Malik shared the same image on his accounts.

The six-time doubles Grand Slam champion hasn’t revealed the stage of her pregnancy and neither has she referenced her post-baby career plans.
