Shoaib reunited with Sania in India after the recently concluded Asia Cup 2018.
Earlier last month, both sportspersons had announced that their child will not have either Pakistani or Indian nationality and also that their child’s surname would be Mirza Malik.
“My husband and I have spoken about it and we have decided that whenever we have a child, he or she will have Mirza Malik as a surname and not just Malik. So that’s where we stand as a family,” shared Sania Mirza on Instagram in September.
The couple, who got married in 2010, had confirmed the pregnancy news in April this year.
