Earlier, Dhawan had shared pictures from his sangeet ceremony on Instagram, captioning the post, “Sangeet Night, almost the Dhawans.” Sophie also offered fans a glimpse of the pre-wedding celebrations by posting photos from her haldi ceremony.
Sophie Shine is an Irish professional who has been in a relationship with Dhawan since at least early 2024. She currently serves as the Second Vice President at Northern Trust Corporation in Abu Dhabi. Sophie is also the Chief Operating Officer of Da One Sports and heads the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation.
The couple made their relationship public in May 2025 and announced their engagement on January 12, 2026. Their love story reportedly began in Dubai, and Sophie has been a constant presence in Dhawan’s life since. The duo has built a strong social media following, with their light-hearted and humorous reels widely appreciated by fans.
This is Dhawan’s second marriage. His first marriage to Ayesha Mukherjee ended in 2021.
Dhawan officially retired from all forms of international and domestic cricket on August 24, 2024. Over his career, he established himself as one of India’s most dependable openers, particularly in limited-overs cricket, earning the nickname ‘Mr. ICC’ for his consistency on the global stage.
Across 269 international matches, Dhawan scored 10,867 runs and registered 24 centuries, leaving behind a significant legacy in Indian cricket. He represented India across all three formats and was also a major figure in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
