AMIR Khan has hinted at a reconciliation with wife Faryal Makhdoom as he shared a clip of them at the cinema following their suspected split. The couple were reportedly “on the rocks” following a recent sexting scandal which saw the former boxing champ, 36, meet a woman for hotel sex over a period of four months.

Despite being rocked by cheating rumours throughout their marriage, the pair now seem to be on the mend
The Sun on Sunday revealed Khan had demanded “no holds barred” sex from the woman earlier this year before the fling escalated.
It’s understood Faryal, 32, found out about the betrayal before calling the woman, who wants to remain anonymous, and threatening to out her.
A source recently said Faryal, who shares a daughter with Khan, was deciding “whether or not to walk away from the marriage”.
But despite being rocked by cheating rumours throughout their marriage, the pair now seem to be on the mend as they shared an evening together at the cinema with pals.

In a Snapchat story, Khan posted a video at the private screening before revealing he was there with his “crew”.
He said: “We’ve just come into the cinema. It’s a nice little private one this.
“Everything else is good just came with Faryal and the crew here to the cinema.
“We’re just chilling doing our thing.”

Faryal also posted a picture to her Instagram story of her watching a film.
Appearing to be in a cinema and posting at the same time, it is not clear that it’s definitely the same movie.
It comes after both Khan and Faryal were spotted without their wedding rings last week.
Despite finding himself at the centre of cheating allegations once again, Khan made his first public appearance just days after rumours began circulating.
He appeared on TNT Sports on Saturday ahead of the Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr fight with no ring in sight.
And Faryal partied the scandal away after finding out about her hubby’s alleged affair.
In an interview with The Sun on Sunday, the woman involved in the sex scandal said that Khan told her his marriage was “on the rocks”.
Khan had messaged the woman on Instagram in February after she viewed his profile.
She said: “I got a notification that I had a message from Amir Khan. I was shocked and, at first, thought it was a joke but he asked me for my number and then started messaging me on WhatsApp.
“He was intense straight away and spoke about his marriage problems. I thought he was very confident.”
Me and my wife are having big problems. On camera looks okay . . . I’m doneKHAN
In one text, Khan said: “Things were a little tough [at the moment] with what we going through.”
The woman said: “He then rang me and told me he was in an unhappy marriage — and it was more of a business arrangement.”
The next day, Khan sent a number of selfies from a Pakistan work trip and asked her to send him some “naughty pictures”.
He wrote: “I need to let me have u for a day locked up with me. Make it dirty n naughty. No holds bar. Everything goes. U know it’s been 4 months for me. No sex.”
A fortnight later, the couple met up at a ­restaurant in Wembley, North West London, where Khan was hanging out with pals.
She said: “I went to meet him for the first time and he was with friends.
“We just chatted and it seemed normal to them he was meeting a woman that wasn’t his wife, which I found surprising.
“Nothing happened but then the next day he asked me to drive to visit him in Manchester.”
On March 7, the woman travelled from London to a plush hotel in Manchester where she checked in under the company name “Khan Operations”.
She said: “It was quite brazen that I was checking in under his name.
“We went out to dinner and then he had to go back to his friend’s house to FaceTime Faryal so she would think he was staying there while I waited at the hotel. We had a night of passion.”
The following week, the woman claims Khan begged her to visit him at a hotel in London, where he was staying during a trial after he was robbed of his £72,000 watch in April 2022.
She said: “He messaged me, pleading me to get to his hotel room at 3am. I ended up driving there later and stayed four hours.”
She added: “Things started to get serious. He’d message he loved me and even asked me to be his girlfriend.”
Just days later, Khan messaged: “Me and my wife are having big problems. On camera looks okay . . . I’m done.”
But in May, he turned on a WhatsApp function which means texts are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
She said: “I asked him to turn it off as I felt insulted — like I was his dirty little secret.
“He told me over the phone he’d been kicked out as Faryal had caught him cheating but he said it was an old video on his phone.”
She and Khan met up one more time before the relationship swiftly ended.
SEX SCANDAL
On June 5, the woman claims she received a phone call from him to warn her that his wife had found her number on his phone and blocked her.
She said: “He was flying back to Dubai without her and said he’d call me when he got there.”
The woman then received a second call at midnight — but this time from Faryal, adding: “She said she wanted to know what was going on and Amir had told her I was a fan who was harassing him.
“I put the phone down on her and she sent me a text message.”
Faryal’s text to the woman, seen by The Sun on Sunday, read: “I know you’re a very bad liar and I can see right through your bs.
“So next time stop stuttering and get your story straight.
“Trying to protect a man who blocked you and doesn’t rate you. I have recorded the whole call and have proof of your harassment.
“I don’t want to name and shame you . . . if I was you I wouldn’t even attempt to contact him.”
The woman said: “I was in shock. There was no harassment as proven by the messages. I wasn’t allowed to contact Amir first.”
On June 8, Khan sent a text saying: “She’s back today. I will message you soon.” The woman said: “He then went to the Maldives and I didn’t hear from him.
“On June 15, I got a missed voice call and a voice note saying he’d call me when he can and a few days later he changed his number.”
She added: “It made me feel like s***. He got what he wanted and then just dropped me.
“I always knew he was married. It’s not about that. It’s the lack of respect and the sudden shift in behaviour. Faryal’s message was horrible too. It scared me.
“I then found out that he had been sexting other women at the same time he was having sex with me — which I find vile.”
It is the second time this year Faryal has had to deal with public allegations.
