DUBAI: British boxer Amir Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom has revealed that she is pregnant just weeks after the couple butted heads in a Twitter row.
The 26-year-old made the announcement on Twitter, writing: “Alhumdulilah, blessed with baby number 2 in my tummy #excited eating away, can’t stop.”
She also shared her the news on Snapchat, with a caption saying: “I’ve been waiting to announce something very special .... Alhumdulilah, I am pregnant with my second child.
“Time for me to get fat and chunkayyyy.”
The pair were embroiled in a headline-making Twitter spat earlier this month, in which both accused the other of being unfaithful.
Khan accused his wife of having an affair with boxing champion Anthony Joshua, who quickly denied the claim.

It has been revealed that the couple have turned to an expert on Islamic Sharia law to mediate their relationship.
Reacting to the pregnancy news, one of Makhdoom’s followers asked: “Does Amir know?” while another said: “Plot twist.”
Another Twitter user joked: “Congratulations @anthonyfjoshua.”
Khan was in Las Vegas watching the boxing match between Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather when the news was revealed.
The couple, who married in 2013, already have one daughter together.
