Pakistani politician and former cricketer Imran Khan has married a woman described as his spiritual adviser, party officials said, the third wedding for the World Cup champion once touted as Pakistan's most eligible bachelor.
Khan, 65, married Bushra Wattoo in a private ceremony attended by relatives and friends in the eastern city of Lahore on Sunday, his Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) party announced on Twitter.
Pictures of the ceremony, showing the bride in a full veil, were posted on the account. Khan, once known internationally for his high-profile tabloid romances, cuts a more conservative persona in Pakistan, often carrying prayer beads and nurturing beliefs in living saints.
PTI spokesman Fawad Chaudhry told AFP the couple had known one another "for a long time" but declined to provide further details. She has been widely reported to be the politician's spiritual adviser. Twitterverse erupts with comments and wishes after the tweet.
Several fake accounts of the Bushra have also popped up tweeting similar comments.
