Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic
Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya and his model-wife Natasa Stankovic have been making headlines following rumours of a divorce. They got married on May 31, 2020, and welcomed their first child, son Agastya, on July 30 of the same year. While the two have maintained complete silence over the matter, Natasa has now restored their wedding pictures on her Instagram account. One of the reasons for rumors of the divorce floating was the archiving of wedding pictures by Natasa.
While Natasa and Hardik had a quiet and intimate wedding ceremony in 2020, they renewed their vows on February 14, 2023 in a grand ceremony in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Now, all the pictures from the 2020 wedding and wedding vow renewal ceremony are back on Natasa's Instagram.
The divorce rumours:
A Reddit post titled, 'Natasa and Hardik separated?' - started getting noticed by social media users.

A Redditor posted on Tuesday, "This is just a speculation. But both of them aren't posting each other on stories (Instagram Stories). Earlier, Natasa used to have Natasa Stankovic Pandya on her Instagram, but now she completely removed his name."
The post further said, "Her birthday was on 4th March, and there was no post from Hardik on that day; she also removed all recent posts of her and Hardik except the one where Agastya was with them. Also, she isn't seen in stands this IPL or post stories regarding the team. While Krunal and Pankhuri still comment on her posts, but something is definitely off between both of them."
There were varied reactions on this observational post by a Reddit user. A user commented, "Okay, so someone commented on that Gill expose post that Hardik cheats on her. And that he was seen in London with some other girl."
Some also pined that its too soon to speculate as Natasa has not deleted all photos from her Instagram handle. "But she hasn't deleted all the pics with him so as of now I think too early to speculate. With regards to IPL thing I think Hardik must have asked her not be part of it as she was being trolled anyways just because she is his partner."
Some also felt that Natasa has been keeping a low profile after Hardik got bullied online for his captaincy and the poor performance of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. Natasa was also trolled for Hardik's performance in IPL 2024. Her comment section was filled with insults and derogatory remarks over Mumbai Indians' poor performance and the selection of her husband as the team's captain replacing Rohit Sharma.
