LONDON: British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan has reportedly gifted his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, a lavish £130,000 car in an apparent attempt to salvage their marriage, which had been strained following a sexting scandal. The gesture comes as Khan seeks to mend their relationship amidst publicized differences.
According to UK’s Mail Online, Khan surprised his wife with a brand-new Mercedes G-Class, adorned with a red ribbon, in what seems to be a symbolic move towards reconciliation after reports of their separation due to a sexting controversy.
Khan shared a carefully edited video clip on his Instagram account, showcasing the grey Mercedes G-Class adorned with a red ribbon and balloons. In the video, Khan can be seen sitting in the passenger seat while Makhdoom takes the wheel.
“Little gift for @faryalmakhdoom. I know how much she loves G wagons so I wanted to surprise her. Hope you like it,” Khan captioned the post on the picture and video-sharing platform.
Amir Khan’s Investment in Wife’s Makeup Business
This recent grand gesture to mend their marriage follows another substantial investment made by Khan just days ago. The boxer had reportedly poured £100,000 into his wife’s makeup business in an effort to support her endeavors.
Khan has previously acknowledged his mistakes and expressed remorse for any pain he has caused his wife. Speaking to The Sun, Khan acknowledged, “I am willing to go to therapy to stop me from sending texts to women who aren’t my wife. I think nowadays with mental health issues, any help goes a long way. It’s definitely something I would do. Things like that do help, so maybe it’s something to think about.” He added, “I don’t think I was cheating; it was just a few texts. But I regret doing it.”
This is not the first time Khan and Makhdoom’s marriage has been marred by controversy and rumors. Their union, which began in 2013, has weathered previous challenges and public scrutiny. The recent displays of reconciliation underscore Khan’s efforts to mend their relationship and move forward from past missteps.
