AMIR Khan and his wife Faryal Makhdoom are reportedly separated and living apart after he was caught sexting a model.

The boxing champ and Faryal are understood to be currently splitting their time between Dubai and Britain.

The move is the latest scandal to rock the couple’s ten-year marriage.

A source close to the Khan family told MailOnline: “Faryal is taking time to think about whether or not to walk away.

“She’s going through a very difficult time and choosing to focus on her children while she and Amir continue to co-parent.”

It comes after The Sun revealed how Amir had begged bridal model Sumaira to send him revealing pictures.

The boxer also tried to meet up with the 25-year-old after first contacting her in May to compliment her tattoos.

He told her in one message: “look good on g string” and suggested she had a boob job.

Weeks later Khan — who married Faryal in 2013 — posted a snap online of himself with his US model wife and daughters, saying: “10 years later.”

He later revealed he was willing to have therapy to stop him sexting other women.

Khan also issued his wife an apology after she asked him, “If you have a diamond at home, why do you want to mess around with rocks and stones?”

The I’m a Celebrity star also whisked Faryal off on a romantic trip to Mykonos in the wake of the scandal.

She later released a bombshell statement on Instagram slamming Sumaira.

Faryal said she was refusing to “play out my marriage publicly” but had released a statement “after a long week of accusations, slander and harassment”.

She has also claimed she has been victim of a “hate campaign” and accused a representative of Sumaira of trying to “tarnish” her reputation.

Amir and Faryal wed in a £1million bash at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 2013.

In 2014, they welcomed their first child, daughter Lamaisah, now nine.

They also have daughter Alayna, five, and three-year-old son Muhammad.

The couple previously split in 2017 after their marriage continued to be dogged by cheating rumours.

Faryal slammed the former light-welterweight world champion for repeatedly sleeping with other women.
