Amir Khan going to therapy to ‘stop sexting women’ apologises to wife

Former world champion boxer, Amir Khan, has publicly apologised to his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, for being involved in a sexting scandal with another woman. Khan expressed remorse for his actions and has vowed to seek therapy to address the ‘mental issues’ that led to his infidelity.

The scandal came to light two weeks ago when reports surfaced of Amir Khan engaging in explicit conversations with a bridal model, Sumaira, including requests for provocative pictures and attempts to arrange a meeting. Faryal confronted him about the revelations, emphasising the impact his actions have had on their family.

In response, Amir Khan has taken full responsibility for his wrongdoing and acknowledged the hurt he has caused his wife. He expressed a willingness to attend therapy sessions if it would help rebuild trust and address the underlying issues in their relationship.

Recognising the importance of mental health support, Khan emphasised that seeking therapy could be beneficial, particularly in addressing the challenges of maintaining a healthy relationship in the public eye.

“I think nowadays with mental health issues, any help goes a long way. It’s definitely something I would do. Things like that do help, so maybe it’s something to think about,” said Khan.

During their holidays in Mykonos, Khan and Faryal took time to reflect on their relationship and the consequences of his actions.
