Imran says reports about his re-marriage `greatly exaggerated' [1] Jan 02 2015
Jemima Goldsmith
Imran first married Jemima Goldsmith and had two sons with her, Sulaiman Isa and Kasim. The couple divorced in 2004.
Jemima had revealed in October 2014 that she was dropping the surname 'Khan' and reverting to her family name because her ex-husband was about to remarry.
She said at the time: "My ex-husband, Imran, recently announced that he intended to get remarried soon, which made me think it's probably time to change my name back to Goldsmith."
Reham Khan
In late 2014, media reports claimed, cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan secretly married a former BBC anchor Reham Khan in a hush hush wedding, .
Then 62-year-old Imran [born 1952] was said to have tied the knot in Dec 2014 with Pakistani news anchor Reham [born 1973], then 41, who was a divorcee and mother-of-three.

However, marriage cannot be entered into lightly. Second marriages especially need to be considered carefully as children are involved. It is only respectful that we wait for an appropriate time.”
Reham Khan did not categorically deny the reports about her marriage either.
