Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan is reportedly set to marry his Irish girlfriend Sophie Shine in February, creating plenty of buzz both in the cricket world and among entertainment-fan circles. While the couple has been private about many details, fans are eager for date, venue, and more about Sophie — who will be Dhawan’s partner in what has been described as his second marriage.
When is the wedding?
As of now, Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie Shine have not released an official public invitation with the exact day. Multiple entertainment and sports outlets suggest the ceremony is planned for February, but the precise date is being kept under wraps. Expect the couple to confirm details closer to the event once they finalise guest lists and logistics.
Where will it be held?
The venue for the wedding is also being guarded closely. Reports indicate the couple prefers an intimate and private celebration, likely at a luxury or private property rather than a public stadium-style event. Given Dhawan’s close family ties and his popularity among teammates and Bollywood friends, the reception could follow in a more open format after the private ceremony. Official confirmation of the city or venue is still awaited.
Who is Sophie Shine? (Second wife details)
Sophie Shine is described in media reports as an Irish national who has worked as a model/influencer and is active on social media. She has been seen with Dhawan at social gatherings and on holiday snapshots that surfaced over time, which fueled speculation about their relationship. Sophie is often presented as stylish and media-savvy, and she appears to maintain a low-key, private personal life despite public interest.
This will be Dhawan’s second marriage. He was previously married to Aesha Mukerji; the earlier chapter of his personal life is part of his public journey, and this new wedding marks a fresh start.

The love story: how they came together
The couple’s romance unfolded away from heavy public scrutiny. Reports and social media sightings suggest they met through mutual circles and gradually made their relationship public through candid moments and travel photos. The duo appears to enjoy quiet time together, sharing glimpses of holidays and celebrations rather than a steady stream of public PDA. Fans have followed their journey with warm wishes and curiosity about the next step — now reportedly a wedding in February.
Reactions and what to expect from the celebrations
Reactions from fans, teammates, and the wider entertainment world have been overwhelmingly positive. Expect close friends from cricket, some prominent faces from Bollywood, and family members to feature in the private ceremony and subsequent gatherings.
Typical wedding elements to look forward to include pre-wedding festivities, a private ceremony, and a reception that could attract media attention once details are released. Fashion and candid moments will likely trend across social platforms, given Dhawan’s popularity and Sophie’s influencer background.
Final note
While excitement builds around Shikhar Dhawan’s upcoming wedding to Sophie Shine, many specifics remain unconfirmed. The couple’s preference for privacy means fans should watch for an official announcement for the exact date and venue. Until then, well-wishers will continue to celebrate this new chapter and await the pictures and stories from what promises to be a heartfelt celebration.
