YouTuber, Armaan Malik Sparked Divorce Buzz With His First Wife, Payal Amid Her Fourth Pregnancy
Armaan Malik, who recently became a father for the fifth time, was rumoured to be divorcing his first wife, Payal Malik, while she was pregnant.
Popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestant, Armaan Malik is once again grabbing the spotlight. The controversial social media personality often makes headlines for his vlogs and unconventional family, including his two wives, Payal and Kritika Malik. He is currently making headlines after his first wife, Payal, welcomed their fourth child (Armaan's fifth overall) on March 24, 2026. Following the birth of their baby girl, an interest has been sparked in their relationship dynamics, leading to resurfacing of their divorce buzz.
Payal Malik called her fourth child a 'miracle baby'
On March 24, 2026, Armaan Malik's first wife, Payal Malik conceived naturally for the first time after 15 years of marriage. The couple described this pregnancy as a "miracle" because their previous three children were conceived through IVF. Following the delivery, both the mother and the newborn are reported to be in perfect health. Payal and Armaan previously shared that they have struggled with infertility for over a decade. She had undergone multiple unsuccessful IVF procedures in the past and only had one functional fallopian tube, making a natural pregnancy after 15 years highly unexpected.
Payal Malik and Armaan Malik sparked divorce rumours months before the birth of their fourth child
About seven months before welcoming their fourth kid, a baby girl, Armaan, his first wife, Payal, and his second wife, Kritika were summoned by the Patiala District Court regarding a petition alleging that he had not two but four marriages. Reports of August 2025 stated that a High Court had ordered Armaan Malik to divorce one of his wives to avoid legal action for violating the Hindu Marriage Act. The next month, in September 2025, speculation surfaced that Armaan would split from Payal and continue his married life with Kritika, despite the former being pregnant at that time.
Around the same time, the Malik family appeared on Bigg Boss OTT 3 and received severe criticism and trolling for their polygamous lifestyle. At one point, Payal herself stated in a vlog that she was considering parting ways with Armaan due to the mental toll of the hate they received. It further fuelled the divorce speculations, making fans believe that the rumours of Armaan abandoning Payal during her pregnancy was true. However, they quashed the social media-formulated narrative with Payal, Kritika and Armaan appearing together in the former's maternity photoshoot.
Inside the family dynamics between Armaan, Payal and Kritika Malik
Armaan Malik tied the knot with Payal Malik in 2011, and they reportedly welcomed their first son, Chirayu (Chiku), within five years of marriage, on May 5, 2016. Two years later, in 2018, Armaan married Payal's best friend, Kritika Malik, after a six-day whirlwind romance. He met Kritika at Chirayu's birthday party and was immediately smitten by her. Following Armaan's second marriage, his first wife, Payal, was blindsided and deeply betrayed, leading to a period in which the three remained separated. Payal even reportedly contemplated suicide during this difficult phase.

However, over time, Payal came to accept Kritika and Armaan's relationship, primarily because of her love for him and their son, Chirayu. Today, Payal and Kritika live together and describe their bond as that of sisters rather than co-wives or rivals. As of March 2026, Armaan has five children. Chirayu's siblings include twins, Ayan (son) and Tuba (daughter) and a newborn baby girl. Chirayu also has a stepbrother, Zaid (Kritika and Armaan's child), born in April 2023. The Malik family's current dynamics seem harmonious. In their vlogs, the two wives are seen managing household chores and child care together, suggesting cordial relations.
