Aamir Khan-Gauri Spratt Love Story: Two-decade-old friendship to lifelong partnership

After making their relationship public in 2025, Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt are all set to take the next step. The couple, who have known each other for nearly 25 years, will tie the knot on Sunday, July 5, 2026.

Their reunion reportedly happened through one of Aamir’s family members, leading them to reconnect after a long gap. What started as a casual conversation, gradually evolved into a close friendship, with both discovering a strong emotional bond that eventually developed into a romantic relationship.

Aamir Khan previously opened up about his relationship with Gauri Spratt, revealing that their love story began unexpectedly. Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast, the actor said, “Gauri and I met by mistake and we connected and we became friends, and love happened.” Reflecting on his life before meeting her, Aamir admitted that he had not expected to find love again after his marriages to Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao.

He shared, “Before I met Gauri, I felt like I had aged, and who will I find at this age. Also, my therapy started, and I understood that I need to love myself first and make myself healthy. So, I worked on that.”
