An official from the registrar’s office confirmed the details of the visit to PTI.

“Shikhar Dhawan, along with his wife Sophie, reached the marriage registrar's office around 3 pm today. Around seven family members and friends were with them. The document formalities took about 35 minutes, and a marriage certificate was issued to them,” 

Dhawan kept his appearance casual in a dark blue T-shirt, while Sophie opted for a light sky blue top, as can be seen in the clip above.

From Private Wedding To Public Confirmation

Dhawan and Sophie had already tied the knot on February 21, 2026, in an intimate ceremony held in the Delhi-NCR region. The wedding was attended by close family members and a select group of friends, including Yuzvendra Chahal, who shared glimpses from the celebrations on social media.

Their relationship had been in the public eye for some time. The two reportedly met in Dubai and dated for over a year before confirming their relationship in 2025. Sophie, who is originally from Ireland, currently heads the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation.

Relationship Timeline & Background

Speculation about their relationship first emerged in 2024 when the couple was spotted together at multiple events. By May 2025, they had gone public with their romance, putting an end to months of rumours.

Dhawan, who turned 40 this year, got engaged to Sophie on January 12 before their wedding in February. With the legal formalities now completed, the couple have officially marked the next chapter of their journey together.
