Amir Khan welcomes son

Amir Khan has become a father for the third time.

The boxer and his wife Faryal Makhdoom welcomed a baby boy into the world on Saturday (22.02.20), who they have named Muhammad.

He shared on Instagram: ”My beautiful Son Muhammad Zaviyar Khan was born today 22/02/20 weighing 7lbs 12oz. #dadofthree #alhumdulilah #blessed (sic)”

Amir and Faryal Makhdoom revealed they were expecting their third child together by posting footage of their gender reveal.

In a video posted on Instagram, Faryal said: ”We’re having our third child, and we’re so excited and nervous at the same time. He or she, what will baby Khan be?”

The 32-year-old added: ”I’m going to punch the balloon to see what the gender is.”

Blue confetti then poured out of the balloon, and an excited Amir gushed: ”Oh wow, it’s a boy! It’s a boy!”

The post was captioned: ”**GENDER REVEAL** We’re having Baby no. 3. What will it be?! Big shout out to @luxe.balloon.co (sic)”

The couple welcomed daughter Alayna in 2018 and their first child, Lamaisah, was born in 2014. The birth followed a turbulent 2017 for Amir and Faryal which saw them split up and trade hurtful insults on social media before finally reconciling.

Amir blamed a ”lack of communication” on the pair’s marital problems.

During a TV appearance at the start of 2018, he said: ”You want to change things at times, the way it went public wasn’t nice … anger sometimes takes over. That happened in 2017. Hopefully going into 2018 we’ve both put that behind us, we’ve got a lovely baby coming this year, we have also have Lamaisah, my boxing career, [I will] get some good fights in. What went wrong? A lack of communication.”

Faryal added: ”It was just a misunderstanding. I was in England he was in Dubai, he thought he was a bit cool in Dubai doing some tweets.”
