Are they still together?
Yes, they recently spoke about going through a “rough” patch in 2017 which saw them appear to temporarily split before reuniting.
Speaking on Loose Women about their relationship breakdown, Khan suggested that a “lack of communication” led to problems.
While Makhdoom added that physical separation between the two of them - she was in Britain while he was in the UAE - caused issues between them.
“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…” she joked.

Khan explained on the ITV show: “Going through the hand injury that I had, not being in the boxing ring, being away from my family, going through a lot of stuff in my life, I think the best place for me is to be in the boxing ring.
"When I was away from that, it took me all over the place. I lost that focus and that structure. Not being in the gym, not training, when you have all that downtime you have all that energy in your body…”
However, the couple are now back together and stronger than ever with Makhdoom pregnant with their second child.

She’s six months pregnant and will be giving birth later this year but she’s admitted that she’s found it harder the second time around.
Makhdoom said: “It’s been okay. This pregnancy was a bit tougher.”
She went on to explain that she needed help getting out of bed if she lay down for too long.
