It seems like 2025 hasn't started on a positive note for Indian cricketers. After reports of Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife, Dhanashree Verma's separation, it is now being widely reported that Indian cricket legend Virender Sehwag and his wife, Aarti Ahlawat, have also parted ways after 21 years of marriage.
Several media outlets have confirmed that the couple has been living separately for months. According to a report in Hindustan Times (HT), the couple has unfollowed each other on Instagram, and their divorce is reportedly on the cards.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Virender Sehwag's Diwali posts featured his sons and mother but excluded Aarti, fueling rumours of a rift.
As soon as the news of Aarti and Virender's divorce surfaced on social media, fans dubbed 2025 the "Year of Divorce," pointing out the increasing number of separations among celebrities and cricketers.
However, there has been no official confirmation from either Virender Sehwag or Aarti Ahlawat regarding their divorce or separation.
