There was a rumour of his alleged marriage over week that Imran Khan had secretly married former BBC anchor Reham Khan. The daily mail earlier disclosed that Imran had tied the knot last weekend with Pakistani news anchor Reham, 41, who is a divorcee and mother of three. Imran was previously married to Jemima 'Goldsmith' Khan and has two sons with her, Sulaiman Isa and Kasim. The couple divorced in 2004. On October, 2014 Jemima had revealed that she was ditching the surname 'Khan' and reverting to her family name because her ex-husband was about to remarry. However, on New Year's Eve Mr Khan Twitted rumours of marriage were 'greatly exaggerated.'
A family friend said relatives including his sisters were against the marriage and were surprised he hearing the news.
Meanwhile, his sister Aleema said to the daily Dawn the family challenged him 'a few days ago' over the news and he denied it.
