Hyderabad: Former India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan shared a picture of him and Sophie Shine in collaboration on Instagram, sparking speculations about their relationship on Thursday, May 1.
Dhawan and his rumoured girlfriend Irish Sophie Shine captioned the post: My (with red heart).
His name is being linked to Sophie since they were spotted together at the India vs Bangladesh ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match in Dubai. Notably, Shikhar was one of the four ambassadors of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025.
Pictures and videos of Shikhar Dhawan and the woman went viral on the internet, and netizens were quick to notice that she is the same woman with whom Shikhar was earlier spotted in November 2024.
Sophie Shine is an Irish product consultant with a background in Marketing and Management from Limerick Institute of Technology. She currently serves as Second Vice President at Northern Trust Corporation in Abu Dhabi.
Dhawan's previous marriage to Aesha Mukherji ended in 2021, followed by a painful custody battle for his son. His openness now about healing and embracing love again has struck a chord with fans who admire his honesty.
For Shikhar Dhawan, it seems both healing and happiness have come in a new form -- with Sophie Shine by his side.
