Pakistani fashion industry stars Abeer Asad and Sauban Umais, both celebrated for their success on the runway, have confirmed they are ending their marriage less than a year after their high-profile wedding. The two models, who have won recognition as best models and earned praise for their striking work in fashion, tied the knot in February 2025.
Their lavish wedding celebration, complete with glamorous photoshoots, was widely covered on social media and attended by close friends from the fashion world. At the time, the event was hailed as a union of two of Pakistan’s brightest modeling talents, with colleagues and fans offering heartfelt congratulations.
On Tuesday, Sauban Umais surprised followers by announcing the couple’s split through Instagram Stories. In his statement, he revealed that he and Abeer had mutually decided to part ways. “Our divorce is still in process, but I wish my ex-wife nothing but good luck,” he wrote.
The announcement quickly spread across social media platforms, where fans expressed shock and sadness over the couple’s decision. Many who had admired their chemistry on and off the runway were left stunned that the marriage, which began with such fanfare earlier this year, had come to an end so soon.
Neither Abeer nor Sauban elaborated on the reasons behind their decision. The brief statement by Sauban suggested that the process was amicable, with his words emphasizing respect and goodwill toward his former partner.
For fans of the duo, the news comes as a disappointment. Both models have carved out impressive careers in Pakistan’s competitive fashion industry, appearing in major campaigns, on catwalks for top designers, and in high-profile fashion magazines. Their wedding earlier this year had been viewed as a symbol of glamour and success in the modeling community.
Asad has yet to make a public statement following her husband’s announcement. However, friends and supporters have already begun sending her messages of encouragement, wishing her strength and success as she moves forward.
The couple’s divorce highlights the challenges that even high-profile relationships face, despite appearances of stability and success. For now, both Abeer Asad and Sauban Umais appear focused on handling their separation privately while continuing their professional pursuits.
While the story of their marriage was brief, the impact they have made on Pakistan’s fashion industry remains significant. Fans will now be watching closely to see how each of them moves forward, both personally and professionally, after this chapter of their lives.
