Amir Khan’s wife has given birth to their second child. The 31-year-old shared an image of his newly born daughter on Instagram, with his 1.2 million followers, writing: ‘With my new born ALAYNA KHAN. Welcome to the world. Weighing 8lbs 3oz.’ The couple already have a three-year-old girl called Lamaisah.

 

The birth of Alayna came just after Amir Khan returned to the ring and won the fight against Phil Lo Greco, beating him in less than 40 seconds.

 

Khan, who is worth 23 million, had previously announced the couple’s separation in August 2017. In a tweet, he wrote: ‘So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I’m currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best.’

 

He also said in a snapchat video, which he posted on September 8th, 2017, ‘So me and Faryal are not together. I have filed for a divorce. ‘I hear she has just announced she is pregnant. She didn’t tell me. I had to read it on social media.’

 

The couple decided to patch things up after Faryal announced she was pregnant again and the couple appeared on Loose Women during 2018. Amir said:  ‘You want to change things at times, the way it went public wasn’t nice … anger sometimes takes over. That happened in 2017. ‘Hopefully going into 2018 we’ve both put that behind us, we’ve got a lovely baby coming this year, we have also have Lamaisah our daughter, my boxing career, [I will] get some good fights in. What went wrong? A lack of communication.’

 

Faryal added: ‘It was just a misunderstanding. I was in England he was in Dubai; he thought he was a bit cool in Dubai doing some tweets.’

 

The boxer also admitted that his hand injury made it harder for him to be away from boxing. He explained that he felt lost without the structure the sport had provided him since he was a boy.

 

He added: ‘Going through the hand injury that I had, not being in the boxing ring, being away from my family, going through a lot of stuff in my life, I think the best place for me is to be in the boxing ring.

 

‘When I was away from that, it took me all over the place. I lost that focus and that structure. Not being in the gym, not training, when you have all that downtime you have all that energy in your body. ‘My family were very supportive, my parents, they helped me when I said I don’t know what to do. ‘I came to a stage where I didn’t know what to do with my life. I was wrecking my marriage; I wasn’t boxing, I had a hand injury, I didn’t know where to go, what to do.’

 

The baby announcement came, as Faryal and Amir’s previous woes had caught the eye of ITVBe bosses, who have even tried to approach the couple for their very own reality TV series.
