New Delhi, June 4, 2026: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is preparing to step into a new chapter of his personal life. The 61-year-old actor has officially confirmed the widespread speculation surrounding his relationship status, announcing that he will marry his longtime partner, Gauri Spratt, on July 5, 2026. The news has generated significant waves of interest across the Indian entertainment industry, marking what will be the actor’s third marriage.
Breaking his silence during a recent interview while traveling in the United States, Aamir directly confirmed the date, stating, “The news about the marriage is true. It’s on July 5.” The couple, who have been quietly building a life together over the last few years, have reportedly chosen to bypass the typical grandeur associated with high-profile celebrity weddings in favor of an understated, deeply personal celebration.
A Journey from Longtime Friendship to Romance
While the public only became familiar with Gauri Spratt relatively recently, her connection to Aamir Khan spans a quarter of a century. The two first crossed paths nearly 25 years ago. Though life initially took them in separate directions, they reconnected decades later through Aamir’s cousin, Nuzhat Khan, in Bengaluru.
What began as a revived platonic friendship eventually transitioned into a deep, romantic partnership in early 2024. Aamir formally introduced Gauri to the public and the media during his 60th birthday celebrations in March 2025. During that media interaction, he affectionately spoke about how their long-term friendship had naturally evolved into something much deeper over time.
Gauri, an entrepreneur with a professional background rooted in the fashion, beauty, and wellness sectors, previously managed a successful salon chain in Bengaluru. She has since moved to Mumbai and transitioned into working alongside Aamir within his production house, Aamir Khan Productions. Like Aamir, she has a child from a previous marriage—a seven-year-old son named Quinn. Notably, Gauri also boasts a unique historical lineage; her grandfather was Philip Spratt, a British-born writer and intellectual who moved to India in the 1920s and actively participated in the country’s independence movement.
Finding Stability and “Completeness”
In a series of candid media interactions leading up to the wedding announcement, Aamir has been vocal about the profound positive impact Gauri has had on his life. The actor revealed that they have been living together for over a year, establishing a quiet, shared routine away from the constant spotlight. Speaking to the media about this phase of his life, Aamir expressed a deep sense of emotional security, stating:
He had previously hinted that a formalization of their bond was simply a matter of time, noting that in his heart, he already considered her his wife and partner long before setting an official date. Sources close to the actor indicate that the decision to wed stems from a shared desire to formalize the stable, happy family dynamic they have cultivated over the past year.
Details of the July 5 Nuptials
True to Aamir’s evolving preference for a low-key lifestyle, the wedding on July 5 is scheduled to be a strictly private, intimate affair. Rather than hosting a massive, star-studded destination wedding or a lavish banquet, the couple has opted for a simple registered marriage.
The ceremony will take place at Aamir’s personal residence in Mumbai. The guest list is being kept incredibly small, restricted primarily to immediate family members and a selective handful of close, lifelong friends. Insiders have confirmed that there are currently no plans to throw a grand, industry-wide reception for Bollywood fraternity members. However, close industry friends like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are rumored to be among the very few individuals invited to attend the home ceremony, depending on their respective filming schedules.
Blending Families with Grace
A key aspect of this new chapter is the support and presence of Aamir’s extended family. Aamir was first married to Reena Dutta in 1986, a union that lasted 16 years and produced two children: Junaid Khan, who recently made his acting debut, and entrepreneur Ira Khan. Following his divorce from Reena in 2002, Aamir married filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005. The couple welcomed their son, Azad Rao Khan, via surrogacy before mutually deciding to separate in 2021 after 16 years of marriage.
Despite his past divorces, Aamir has long been recognized in the industry for maintaining exceptionally warm, respectful, and tight-knit relationships with both of his former wives. Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao are frequent fixtures at Aamir’s family gatherings, religious festivals, and milestones. This unique, supportive family dynamic will extend to the upcoming wedding, with all three of Aamir’s children—Junaid, Ira, and Azad—expected to be fully present to celebrate their father’s marriage to Gauri, alongside Gauri’s young son.
Balancing Personal Milestones with Professional Commitments
While Aamir’s personal life is taking center stage this summer, his professional slate remains heavily active, though his focus has noticeably shifted toward his responsibilities as a producer. Following his return to the screen in Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir has turned his full attention toward fostering fresh talent and backing unique narratives under Aamir Khan Productions.
By structuring his work commitments around his personal life, Aamir has managed to carve out the necessary time to step away from India to travel before returning to Mumbai for the final wedding preparations.
As July 5 approaches, public interest remains incredibly high. Yet, by choosing a simple home registration over a massive media spectacle, Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt are signaling that this milestone is entirely focused on the quiet reality of the life they have built together, surrounded purely by the people who matter most.
