Faryal and Amir wed in front of 1000 guests at a lavish New York ceremony in 2013. The couple have one daughter, two-year-old Lamisah, together.

Faryal has largely stayed out of the spotlight since marrying Amir though in February, she did reveal that TV bosses had asked her to go on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.

She also hit headlines thanks to a very public feud with Amir’s family.

HuffPost UK has also contacted representatives for Faryal and Anthony Joshua for comment.
