Shikhar Dhawan ties the knot with Sophie Shine in intimate Delhi ceremony
Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has married Sophie Shine in a private ceremony. The wedding took place in Delhi-NCR on February 21, 2026, following a short engagement. The couple had been dating for over a year before making their relationship public in 2025. Dhawan and Shine first met in Dubai and kept their relationship low-key until early 2025. Their engagement was announced on January 12, just weeks before the wedding.
The marriage was officially registered at a registrar’s office in Gurugram on Wednesday. Both signed the legal documents, confirming their union under local law. Shine, originally from Ireland, currently heads the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation. The couple chose an intimate ceremony, attended by close family and friends.
The wedding marks a new chapter for Dhawan, who has been open about his personal life in recent years. Shine will continue her role at the foundation while supporting her husband’s cricketing career. The couple has not announced further public celebrations.
