Just two days after welcoming his first child with wife Ansha, star Pakistani pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi shared the first glimpse of his newborn son, Aliyaar Afridi, on Instagram. The heartfelt post, dedicated to his son, has since captured the hearts of thousands of fans and well-wishers.
In the emotional post, Shaheen expressed the overwhelming joy that has filled his life with the arrival of his baby boy. “My heart is full and my life just got a whole lot better. 24/08/2024 will always be special to us. Welcome to the world my son, Aliyaar Afridi,” he wrote. The cricketer also paid tribute to his wife, Ansha, calling her the ‘support system’ of their little family and acknowledging the pain and suffering she endured to bring their son into the world.
Shaheen concluded his post with gratitude for the outpouring of love and prayers from fans, asking them to continue remembering his family in their thoughts.
The Instagram post quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments, with fans and fellow cricketers alike congratulating the couple on their new addition.
For those unfamiliar with the couple’s love story, Shaheen Shah Afridi got engaged to Ansha Shahid, the second-eldest daughter of former national cricket team captain, in 2021. Their nikah was solemnized in a private ceremony in February 2023, followed by week-long wedding festivities and Ansha’s rukhsati in September of the same year.
Last month, reports surfaced that the couple was expecting their first child, which was soon confirmed by Pakistan Test team’s head coach, Jason Gillespie. With the arrival of baby Aliyaar, the Afridi family has begun a beautiful new chapter, and fans eagerly await more updates from the star pacer.
