Amir Khan has denied claims that his account was hacked after he and wife Faryal Makhdoom launched into a sensational Twitter spat, each accusing the other of cheating, after he announced their break-up this afternoon.

The British boxer told followers he and wife Makhdoom had decided to go their separate ways after four years of marriage but after a stream of mud-slinging tweets, as he claimed she was sleeping with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, Makhdoom claimed they had both been hacked.

But in a calm and collected Snapchat video this evening, Khan, 30, confirmed everything was true, and they would be divorcing.

Khan's family had waded into the debacle, launching another attack on the model, calling her 'selfish' and even claiming she drove him into depression.

A Khan family source told MailOnline: 'Amir and Faryal have split up. It's over. There have been problems in the relationship for a long time and they were headed for a separation. It's the best outcome.

Another Khan family source told MailOnline: 'Faryal is evil. She took control of Amir and drove him to the extent where he has suffered depression.

'Amir was almost held hostage by in-laws and was given 'either with us or against us' situation to decide between his family and in laws.

'That's tragic. It was clear from very early on that Faryal is interested in Amir's money and fame and we told Amir so that she's a bad choice.

'We all make mistakes. It's good Amir has reached to the conclusive fact that she's a cheater, selfish and greedy. This was bound to happen.'

Final picture: The pair were pictured five days ago in Dubai, enjoying time together in an ice bar

After the afternoon of tweets slung between the pair, Makhdoom snapchatted followers saying their accounts had been compromised.

She wrote: 'My accounts have been hacked! Wtf!' She later deleted her wave of tweets about the split.

But within minutes of her claims of a hack, Khan had snapchatted himself to confirm the split was true, and no one had been hacked.

He said: 'Everything you saw on social media, it is real. Obviously, me and Faryal have decided to move on and I have decided walk away.

'Nothing has been hacked. We have to move forward it’s not healthy for any of us. I'm just not happy with the way I get treated by her.

'I wish her all the best in the future.

'Don’t want you guys to worry. I am staying strong. Big thank you for all your support. What’s done is done, it’s all true.'

Makhdoom sent a series of messages on snapchat this evening claiming her account had been hacked and none of the messages were from her or Khan

Khan snapchatted a video to his followers telling them the social media claims had been correct and they were splitting - and no one had been hacked

The spat began in a series of tweets today, as Olympic champion Khan, wrote: 'So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I'm currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best.

'Faryal moved on quick. Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer.

'Lol moved up in the weight classes lol. Trust me I ain't the jealous type. No need to send me pictures of the men your talking to #disgusted

'Left my family and friends for this Faryal. I'm not hurt but another fighter. I'm making it public. You getting the divorce #Golddigger

'Mans like Joshua can have my left overs!'

Within minutes, Faryal hit back on her own Twitter account and accused him of cheating on her.

She wrote: 'I'm sure you left your family because they robbed you? Not because of me. Stop making false things up.

'Accusing other boxers just because your boxing career is finished. Man up amir.

'After all these years. I've always defending a cheat, always stuck around for him, always had his back. And I'm called a gold digger?'

The couple were together on holiday in Dubai to celebrate Faryal's 26th birthday last week, but it's understood that Faryal has since flown back to England herself.

Joshua, 27, laughed off the claims by posting a video of Shaggy's hit single 'It Wasn't Me'.

He then tweeted: 'Bantz aside, I hope you guys can resolve your situation or this is a hack as we have never even met! Plus I like my women BBW #ItWasntMe'

Amir Khan and his wife Faryal Makhdoom sensationally announced their marriage is over in an explosive ongoing row on Twitter, which has seen them both accusing each other of cheating

The boxer, from Bolton, this afternoon astonishingly claimed she had an affair with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua

Makhdoom added: 'LOL! He's given me jack s**t -- I pay house bills and bills for my daughter myself! It's like I'm a single mother while he's out messing around. And he has the nerve to blast me like that?

'The amount of evidence I have on you. It can destroy you. But since I loved you at one point in my life. I'll just let it go.

'I'm not the one who's been in the papers every month with my pants down. Cheater!

'You have actually lost it. Wtf where do u make this stuff up from? And maybe your boxing career is finished because you're an adulterer.

'At the end of the day I can hold my head high knowing I've given this marriage my 100% while amir clearly hasn't. Bad company.

'Bad role model, always around women, alcohol and then he calls himself a Muslim and runs a charity.

'I'm sorry to all the fans & family hurt by this. But amir did not need to do stupid tweets accusing others when he's in the wrong. #guilty

'I think he just needs some attention because boxing hasn't been going well for him so he's just been acting up #30yearoldbaby

'Sometimes people don't like it when you give them a taste of their own medicine.'

The news came after the couple ended their bitter six-month public feud with Khan's family

When Faryal was approached for a comment at the couple’s £1.4million gated home in Lostock, near Bolton, this afternoon, there was no response.

And accused Joshua has also not been seen for several days in his north London neighbourhood.

Laundry worker Hiyat, who works at Launderette in Golders Green, where the star boxer is a regular customer said the boxer has not been seen since mid-July.

His mother Yeta had also not been into the shop, where Anthony has had his laundry done since 2009, for a few days.

Hiyat said: 'I haven't seen Anthony for about three weeks or his mum for about three days.

'I'm not sure where he has gone though, I don't know if he's on holiday.'

There was also no answer at the family flat where the 27-year-old still lives with his mum, despite being a millionaire.

The news of their split came after the couple ended their bitter six-month public feud with Khan's family.

Another Khan family source told MailOnline: 'Faryal is evil. She took control of Amir and drove him to the extent where he has suffered depression.

'Amir was almost held hostage by in laws and was given 'either with us or against us' situation to decide between his family and in laws.

'That's tragic. It was clear from very early on that Faryal is interested in Amir's money and fame and we told Amir so that she's a bad choice.

'We all make mistakes. It's good Amir has reached to the conclusive fact that she's a cheater, selfish and greedy. This was bound to happen.

'She he has been caught out, Amir has known for long she loves showing flesh to men and being interested in praise by random men and confronted her.

'They found twice in America when Amir asked her to be modest, she issued threats to Amir and demanded 60 per cent share in property. For the last five months or so she only talked about share in Amir's wealth and nothing else.'

Make-up artist Faryal has had a tumultuous few months in which she became embroiled in a huge row with her husband's family, claiming they accused her of being a gold digger and dressing in an un-Islamic fashion.

The couple were hit by further drama when a sex tape of Khan performing a sex act on a webcam while chatting with a model was leaked to a US porn site.

Earlier this year, Faryal gave her sports-star hubby an ultimatum to choose between her or his family after months of infighting and rows.

Faryal banned the boxer from attending his younger brother Haroon's wedding because she still can't forgive him for comparing her to Michael Jackson.

Faryal , 3.24pm, she makes outlandish claim about Khan's sex life, adding: 'Treating the mother of his child like this , is sickening.' Advertisement

The sex tape, which was reportedly leaked to a major US porn site, featured the former world champion boxer carrying out a sex act while speaking to a female model on Skype.

The Khans appeared on This Morning in March to claim that the webcam footage of Khan was made before they met.

The couple, who live in Bolton, Greater Manchester and married in the US 2013, also suggested it was leaked out of spite by someone once 'close' to them.

To add a further blow, Amir's father revealed he would never talk to Faryal ever again after he was 'humiliated' following his sacking as the boxer's manager.

Mr Khan has always managed his son's professional career, seeing him through the ups and down of the 30-year-old champion boxer's life.

Boxer Amir Khan has put his huge property on the market for £1.6million as the bitter family feud involving his wife continues

Earlier this week, it emerged that Amir Khan had knocked £200,000 off the asking price for his lavish mansion - less than a month after putting it up for sale.

The 30-year-old's property, which features a massive indoor swimming pool and sauna, was listed for £1.6million at the end of June but the value has now dropped to £1.4million.

The amended asking price for the modern, glass-fronted 3,500 square foot house, which is near to Khan's hometown of Bolton, also includes a homely four-bedroom bungalow opposite the two-time world champion's driveway.

So is THAT why Amir Khan is knocking £200,000 off the price of his £1.6million six-bed Bolton home in a bid to sell it? Boxer Amir Khan knocked £200,000 off the asking price of his lavish mansion, just days before publicly announcing his split with wife Faryal Makhdoom. The 30-year-old's property was first on the market in June, for £1.6million but earlier this week, he decided to knock the price to £1.4million, prompting speculation that the split could be why he'll accept lower offers. And today, he announced he and his wife Faryal would be divorcing, even accusing her of cheating on him with fellow boxer Anthony Joshua.

The former light-welterweight world champion, 30, and his model wife Makhdoom have only just laid to rest a bitter six-month feud after she claimed his family called her a 'gold digger'. Ms Makhdoom, a make-up artist, also said his family criticised the clothes she wore and said she dressed in an 'un-Islamic' fashion. The listing comes after his wife gave him an ultimatum earlier this year and told him to choose between her or his family.

Happier times: How Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom wed in one of New York's most famous hotels in front of the great and the good of the Big Apple's Asian community

Four years ago, British boxer Amir Khan was setting out to start a new life with his now wife alongside him.

Khan met and married Faryal Makhdoom in New York, and their wedding was little short of a fairytale.

They married at the stunning Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and dazzled in colour-matching costumes of red, silver and white, heavily encrusted with glittering gems.

Khan’s traditional Pakistani tunic was crowned by a crimson turban.

Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom married in an elaborate ceremony for 300 guests in New York in 2013

Daily Mail Boxing columnist Jeff Powell, who was a guest at the wedding wrote that Miss Makhdoom’s dress was so richly embroidered that it weighed on her petite frame as she climbed the stairs to the stage, there to take her place beside Amir on a silver throne framed by giant golden pillars hung with plush velvet drapes.

Khan’s father and mentor, Shah, said: 'We are very happy as a family and I am sure the responsibility of married life will be good for Amir.

Khan was said to have never looked happier than he did as he and his bride performed their first dance, exchanged huge rings and cut a five-tier wedding cake.

The pre-function reception was a feast unto itself, featuring lamb with all the trimmings, shell-fish with caviar, every pasta dish imaginable and an Oriental food station. Dinner comprised a beets-based vegetable creation followed by either salmon or chicken and, of course, that wedding cake. All washed down, of course, by the purest of water.

For those still hungry as the evening wore on, a buffet of Indian food was at hand.

This was the centre-piece of myriad celebrations. The signing of the formal marriage documents took place earlier, presided over by the female elders of two families of hard-working emigrants from Pakistan who built successful lives and had their children in Bolton and New York respectively.

After the wedding with an elite 300 guests, they flew back to the UK, where they held a celebration for 4,000 people where footballers from Bolton Wanderers were on the list.

But tensions soon started to brew, and after the birth of their daughter Lamaisah, in 2014, when Makhdoom had moved to Bolton from her hometown, the family spats began.

Khan's family accused the new mother of dressing 'improperly' for a Muslim woman.

She accused them of physical and verbal abuse and angry remarks were slung back and forth across social media.

In April this year, she told the Daily Mail's You magazine: 'When you’re in the public eye, a lot of people want to go after your marriage. I knew what I was signing myself up for.

'I know Amir better than anyone and the main thing is trust. I could be working with a hundred men and Amir would trust me. At the end of the day, he comes home to me.'

She added: 'For some cultures, the daughter-in-law is there to have babies, to cook and clean. They don’t see that she can be an independent woman, that she can go out and work, and that husbands can help with the babies.

'But it’s not about religion – I know religious families who are very sophisticated. It’s about education.'

She told You magazine, her parents valued education highly for both their children. 'They pushed us in our studies. My family took education really seriously, whereas Amir’s didn’t. I wanted to go to law school eventually and become a corporate lawyer,' she recalls.

She enrolled to study political science and journalism at Rutgers University School of Arts and Sciences in New Jersey. Less than two years into her studies, however, aged 19, she met Amir, then 24, through mutual friends at a party in New York.

‘He said, “You’re like a girl I would marry.” I thought, what a total bull****,’ she laughs.

They kept in touch on Skype, but she wasn’t fully aware of the extent of his fame until eight months later when Makhdoom was visiting London with her family and Khan drove from Bolton to see her. They were papped together outside Harrods. ‘That’s when I realised what a big deal he was,’ she admits, with a wry smile.

But three weeks before her wedding, she was asked by Amir’s management team (which included his father and other family members) to sign a prenup. ‘In our culture, that’s really bad,’ she says, frowning.

‘I couldn’t care less about the money but my parents felt very insulted, especially because they are so well off. My parents didn’t make Amir sign a prenup.’

Faryal signed the document nonetheless. ‘I wanted to prove I didn’t want the money. I wanted Amir. He is the love of my life.’ Amir later cancelled the prenup when Faryal was pregnant. ‘I never asked him to do that,’ she insists. ‘But it made me happy because it showed that he loved me.’

How Amir Khan's modest Muslim wife transformed from demure to vamp: Faryal Makhdoom appears virtually unrecognisable from the shy student who won the heart of the boxer After months of very public problems, including a family spat, rumours of a sex tape and cheating allegations Amir Khan and his wife Faryal sensationally split today. The boxer, from Bolton, who is worth £23million, announced their split over Twitter in a tweet reading 'So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I'm currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best'. The heated argument that proceeded is worlds away from the humble couple who gushed about one another at their engagement back in 2012 - but that's not the only thing to have changed. In the seven years that the couple have been together Faryal has undergone a dramatic transformation from her humble days as a student. Left, the British boxer in a pink suit for Wimbledon championships alongside new wife Faryal, who wore a white dress, in 2013. Right, in October 2016, she looked a different woman In December 2013, Makhdoom was starting to transform her eye look, with darker shades, but kept her dress modest and inkeeping with former styles Amir Khan and Faryal at their engagement party in 2012. They married the following year in New York After announcing their engagement, the happy couple were spotted shopping in Manchester as they picked up some items from Selfridges Amir and Faryal first met when she was 19 and he was 24 through mutual friends at a party in New York seven years ago. At the time, the businesswoman, who runs a cosmetic company, was studying political science and journalism at Rutgers University School of Arts and Sciences in New Jersey. She adopted a modest approach to fashion with photos from their early days of dating seeing Faryal opt for fitted pencil skirts and jeans. Two years after they met the couple were engaged with images from their engagement ceremony showcasing their dedication to their religion. Official photos see Faryal dressed in a deep red sari and elaborate jewels performing a ring exchange before their family. However, despite Faryal's clear committal to Islam then the now model has since faced criticism over the way she dressed from members of her husband's family. Faryal claimed that she was bullied by members of the Khan family previously stating that she was considered a 'bad Muslim' if she bared any skin and claims she was even cropped out of family photographs. The model has always maintained that she is committed to Islam and Khan shared the left image during Eid Left, with husband Amir in 2013 at the Royal Opera House. Her make-up is daring, but her dress is demure. Right, a recent Instagram photo shows a bigger change, with lower cut necklines a more common feature Amir Khan's family regularly criticised the model for dressing in a way that was 'improper' in Islam The model also claims she came under fire from the family for having plastic surgery. In an Interview last year she said: 'I was in Pakistan with Amir's family when his brother tweeted: 'Michael Jackson isn't dead. He lives with us.' He was trying to say I'd had plastic surgery.' However, in March this year Faryal admitted that she was partial to a few nips and tucks in an interview with you magazine. She said: 'Because of lack of sleep, genes, dehydration, I get bags under my eyes and I wanted to get them lightened. So I went to my doctor, Simon [Ourian, a renowned cosmetic surgeon in LA] – he's Kim Kardashian's doctor,' she tells me proudly. Faryal has also had fillers in her cheeks. 'I like high cheekbones,' she told the magazine. However, she denies that this surgery adding: 'I've never had plastic surgery. Fillers and plastic surgery are two different things and I want people to understand that.' She went on to say that it was thanks to her husband's money that she was able to alter her looks. She added: 'If other women had this money and if they had a husband who was famous, they would do it, too. If I wasn't married to Amir Khan, I'd probably be a regular girl and I might not do it. But I'm in the limelight, I go to events, so it's part of my life now.' Advertisement
