Thu Jan 23 21:50:13 UTC 2025: ## Sehwag and Wife Reportedly Separating After 20 Years of Marriage
**NEW DELHI** – Indian cricket legend Virender Sehwag and his wife Aarti Ahlawat are reportedly headed for a divorce after two decades of marriage. Speculation intensified after the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram and have allegedly been living separately for several months.
Sources close to the family suggest the separation is imminent, though neither Sehwag nor Ahlawat have issued official statements. The rumours gained traction after Sehwag’s Diwali social media posts, which featured his sons and mother but notably omitted Ahlawat. A subsequent trip to the Vishwa Nagayakshi Temple in Palakkad, also documented on Instagram without Ahlawat, further fueled the speculation.
Sehwag and Ahlawat, who married in 2004, have two sons, Aryavir and Vedant. While the couple was once considered a strong unit, navigating Sehwag’s demanding cricket career and family life, recent events suggest a significant rift. Ahlawat, a Delhi native, has largely maintained a private profile.
Sehwag, who retired from international cricket in 2015, has remained in the public eye through various roles, including his position on the National Anti-Doping Agency’s Appeal Panel. His personal life, typically kept private, is now subject to intense media scrutiny. The couple’s silence only adds to the growing public interest in the unfolding situation.
