Cricket legend Imran Khan says he was hurt by rumours that his former wife began a relationship with actor Hugh Grant while the couple were still married.
Khan divorced his wife, Jemima, the daughter of billionaire James Goldsmith, in June after nine years, saying his wife had found it difficult to
adjust to living in Pakistan, where he is pursuing a political career. The couple have two young sons.
Soon after the divorce, Jemima and Four Weddings and a Funeral star Grant were seen together at parties and have since confirmed they are in a relationship.
Khan told Hello! magazine: "Let me categorically state that there was no infidelity in our marriage of nine years. No marriage could have ended in such an amicable way if a third party had been involved."
Khan said he had given his blessing to the relationship between Jemima, 30, and Grant, 43.
