The Big Announcement: From Rumors to Confirmation

Bollywood's "Mr. Perfectionist," Aamir Khan, has officially put all media speculation to rest. The 61-year-old superstar has confirmed that he will be tying the knot for the third time with his partner, Gauri Spratt. The wedding is scheduled to take place on July 5, 2026.

Speaking directly from the United States during an interview with Variety India, Aamir Khan stated, "I’m currently traveling in the US. The news about the marriage is true. It’s on July 5."

This formal confirmation follows a wave of viral social media reports suggesting that the couple had decided to take their long-term relationship to the next level.

An Intimate, Private Affair Over a Grand Spectacle

Unlike typical high-profile, star-studded Bollywood weddings that span multiple days at exotic international locations, Aamir and Gauri are opting for a quiet, meaningful route.

The couple will formalize their union through a simple registered marriage at Aamir’s residence in Mumbai. The ceremony will remain highly intimate, attended strictly by close family members and a tight-knit circle of friends. While a massive industry-wide reception is not on the cards, reports hint that Aamir's long-time friends and contemporaries, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, may attend the intimate gathering if their filming schedules permit.

"In my heart, I'm already married to her. So, to formalize our togetherness just seems like a natural progression of our partnership," Aamir recently shared, reflecting on how their feelings evolved from cohabitating to deciding on marriage.

Who is Gauri Spratt? A Look at the Bride-to-Be

Since the news broke, fans have been incredibly curious about Gauri Spratt’s background.

• Professional Background: Hailing originally from Bengaluru, Gauri is a well-established professional in the fashion, styling, and wellness industry. She holds an FDA in Fashion, Styling, and Photography from the prestigious University of the Arts London.

• Current Work: She currently lives in Mumbai, runs a popular salon chain outlet, and is professionally associated with Aamir Khan Productions.

• Family History: Gauri comes from a distinguished lineage; she is the granddaughter of Philip Spratt, a British-born writer who came to India in the 1920s and famously participated in the Indian freedom movement.

• Personal Life: Gauri has a seven-year-old son named Quinn from a previous marriage.

The Relationship Timeline: 25 Years in the Making

Though the public only learned about their relationship in March 2025—when Aamir officially introduced Gauri as his partner during his 60th birthday celebrations and the promotions of his film Sitaare Zameen Par—their story spans decades.

The duo originally met through mutual friends nearly 25 years ago but lost touch over time. They reconnected accidentally in early 2024 when Gauri was visiting Mumbai. What started as a renewed friendship quickly and organically blossomed into deep companionship. The couple has been living together for a little over a year, building a stable life away from the heavy glare of paparazzi.

Aamir has been vocal about the profound emotional stability Gauri has brought into his life, stating in an interview with Navbharat Times:

"I am very fortunate that I met Gauri... I feel at peace with her. Mujhe lagta hai ab jaake mai mukammal hua hoon (I feel like I am finally complete now)."

Aamir Khan’s Matrimonial History

This upcoming wedding marks a brand-new chapter for Aamir Khan, who has been married twice before:

1. Reena Dutta (1986–2002): Aamir married Reena early in his career. They share two children—daughter Ira Khan (who married in early 2024) and son Junaid Khan, who is currently carving his path as an actor.

2. Kiran Rao (2005–2021): Aamir later married filmmaker Kiran Rao. They welcomed their son, Azad Rao Khan, via surrogacy. They announced an amicable divorce in 2021 after 16 years of marriage.

Despite the divorces, Aamir is widely respected in the industry for maintaining incredibly warm, respectful relations with both Reena and Kiran. The extended family is frequently spotted celebrating festivals and milestones together, and both ex-wives continue to be pillars of support in Aamir’s personal and professional life.
