The speculation caught fire after Sophie posted a photo of the two together on Instagram with the caption “My ❤️” on Thursday.

That single emoji, coupled with their growing public appearances—including one at the

ICC Champions Trophy 2025

match between India and Bangladesh—has sent fans and media into a frenzy.
Netizens were quick to point out that Sophie had also been seen with Dhawan in late 2024, further fueling the relationship rumours..
Sophie, originally from Ireland, works as a Product Consultant and holds a senior position at Northern Trust Corporation in Abu Dhabi. A marketing graduate from the Limerick Institute of Technology, she has built a successful corporate career.

According to reports, Shikhar and Sophie met in Dubai a few years ago and formed a strong bond that has steadily grown.
Dhawan's previous marriage to

Aesha Mukherji

ended in 2021, followed by a painful custody battle for his son. His openness now about healing and embracing love again has struck a chord with fans who admire his honesty.
For Shikhar Dhawan, it seems both healing and happiness have come in a new form -- with Sophie Shine by his side.
