Known for his flamboyant personality on and off the cricket field, Hardik Pandya has long been a figure of attention. His high-octane lifestyle and love for the limelight has made him a star, but this bold personality may have also contributed to his marital difficulties. According to sources quoted by Times Now, Natasa Stankovic was finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with Hardik's high-octane lifestyle, despite her own fierce independence.
Their relationship reportedly became strained due to differences in their personalities — Hardik enjoyed the attention and social life that came with celebrity status and thrived in the public eye, while Natasa preferred a more down-to-earth private life — and the fundamental differences in their approaches to life became a major point of contention, gradually creating a rift between them.
“Natasa was overwhelmed by Hardik's flamboyance. She tried to adapt but it left her exhausted. The differences in their personalities were too great and with time, it became clear that a rift was developing between them,” a source close to the couple told Time Now.
“He was too flashy and too self-satisfied for her,” the source said.
The decision to separate was a difficult one, but one that was carefully considered and long-term, as Natasa realised their differences would be difficult to bridge.
Separation
Despite the personal issues that led to their separation, both Hardik and Natasa handled the situation with dignity and respect.
On July 18, 2024, Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic officially announced their separation, bringing an end to their four-year marriage that was in the public eye. The couple, who have a son together named Agastya, released a joint statement revealing their decision to separate soon after Natasa left for Serbia with their son. The announcement marked the end of a marriage that had generated much speculation, and now we dig into the reasons for their breakup.
Their joint statement acknowledged that separating was in the best interest of both parties, but emphasized the mutual respect and friendship they shared during their time together. The couple continue to co-parent their son, Agastya, and stressed that their primary concern is his well-being.
New Beginnings and Rumors
As is often the case with celebrity breakups, rumours of a new relationship soon began to circulate. In Hardik Pandya's case, speculation emerged around his relationship with British singer Jasmin Walia. When eagle-eyed fans noticed striking similarities in Hardik and Jasmin's Instagram posts, rumours began flying that the two were holidaying together in Greece.
The speculation was fuelled after Jasmin shared a picture of herself in a blue bikini by a pool in Mykonos, followed shortly after by a video of Hardik appearing in the same location. The matching context and timing of the posts have led many to believe that the two are indeed spending time together, although neither have confirmed the rumours.
