The wedding itself marked a significant personal milestone for Shikhar Dhawan, who tied the knot with his long-time partner Sophie Shine in a private ceremony on February 21, 2026, held in the Delhi-NCR region. The couple's relationship had been in the public eye for over a year, having confirmed it publicly in May 2025, and they announced their engagement on social media in January this year.

The ceremony was an intimate affair attended by close friends and family, with photos shared on social media by Dhawan’s former India teammate Yuzvendra Chahal, captioned affectionately “Mere yaar ki shaadi hai.” Cricket fans also noted appearances from other prominent figures in the cricketing world, adding to the warm and celebratory atmosphere of the event.

His wedding to Sophie Shine has been widely covered, not just for its star-studded invite list but also for the emotional and joyful moments shared among friends and colleagues.
