Is this why Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic's split?

Recently, Hardik Pandya, a famous Indian cricketer, who also happens to be one of the finest all-rounders in the country, has been hitting headlines for reasons away from cricket pitch. After helping India win through the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 with his noteworthy contributions towards the course, there was a significant change in his personal life.

Several days before the tournament opened rumors circulated that Pandya would divorce his wife Natasha Stankovic. A month after the Indian cricket team returned home in July of that year, Pandya announced his break up with her on social media. Nevertheless, at that time the cricketer stopped short of telling why they had ended their marriage.

Nonetheless, a report by Times Now has provided insight into how the couple broke up. According to the report, Natasa struggled to get used to Hardik’s showy character which eventually became an issue in their relationship.

“Natasa had a hard time tolerating Hardik’s ‘too full of himself’ kind of an attitude,” it quoted sources as saying. “She tried keeping up with him but felt increasingly uncomfortable and tired over time. The differences between them grew so large that they could not be ignored and despite her efforts she took a step back.”

In addition, it was revealed by this source that this decision by Natasa did not take place abruptly in one day. “It was something she realized gradually and finally came to accept that things were not going well for them. She hoped he might change, but when that didn’t happen, she made the tough choice to part ways,” said the insider.

Since breaking up on July 18th, their son is reportedly at his mother’s home country Serbia with her family. Word has it Natasa is now dating singer Jasmin Walia.

A joint statement was released on social media by the couple who said, “After four years of being together Hardik and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it all that we had and this is what we think in the interest of each other is. This has been a difficult choice for us to make, considering the delight, understanding and friendship that marked our lives as a family grew.”

The couple’s separation has brought their high profile relationship which has been under public scrutiny since they started dating to an end.
