Barely a fortnight after announcing the break-up of his marriage with Jemima Goldsmith, former Pakistan cricket captain Imran Khan has stated his intention to marry again, possibly by next year.
8220;I am already thinking about looking for a second wife. It doesn8217;t look possible this year but I8217;ll see if I8217;m able to find someone by my next birthday,8221; the 51-year-old Imran said in an interview published in the Sunday Telegraph.
Describing his split with Jemima after nine years of marriage as 8220;tragic8221;, Imran vehemently denied that any other person was involved and insisted that his wife had tried her best to relocate.
8220;She Jemima did everything, but sometimes you do things and do not succeed,8221; he said, admitting that his passion for Pakistani politics and deepening commitment to public life might have made it more difficult for Jemima to settle down.
8220;Maybe, if I had been doing something else, or had more time to travel in England or everywhere, it would have been different. But as I said, it all was just very difficult. So that8217;s all and it is very tragic.8221;
Imran was visibly upset when he was asked about rumours that a third person contributed to the divorce. 8220;This is utter nonsense. There is no involvement of any third person at all,8221; he said.
