Onler and Mary Kom, however, have not yet filed for divorce.
According to rumours, Mary Kom and her spouse Karung Onkholer are no longer living together and have already split up.
The boxing legend Mary Kom and her husband Karung Onkholer who have been married for nearly 20 years, are reportedly living apart due to a strained relationship. Although the couple has not yet filed for divorce, it is probably going to happen soon.
According to a media report, the couple’s animosity started to rise when Onkholer lost the 2022 Manipur Assembly Elections and suffered significant financial losses. According to the story, her husband and a few family members reside in Delhi, while the boxer and her four children reside in Faridabad.
“Mary moved to Faridabad with their (four) children, while Onler has been living in Delhi with some family members,” a source close to the couple told media.
The source added, “Their differences escalated after the elections. Mary was reportedly unhappy about the financial losses.”
There hasn’t been an official statement, but according to media reports, there are rumours that Mary Kom has fallen in love again after splitting from her husband and that she might be seeing her business partner, who happens to be another boxer’s husband.
According to sources, Mary Kom and her husband Karung Onkholer aka K Onler Kom are currently living apart, presumably as a result of personal conflicts and setbacks after the Manipur elections in 2022 which ended in Mary losing Rs.2-3 crore after her husband lost. The pair is apparently going through a challenging time in their relationship, even though neither side has publicly commented.
Onler was initially reluctant to enter politics and it was Mary’s idea. “He didn’t want to contest and had warned her that Manipur’s political landscape was volatile at the time,” a source said, adding, “After the defeat, things worsened. Their usual marital disagreements turned serious, and Mary moved into her Faridabad house with the kids.”
Sources close to Onler claim that he is struggling with limited access to their children. “He’s heartbroken. He has always been a devoted father and gave up his football career to support Mary and raise their kids. Now he’s unable to meet them, and it’s taken a toll on him emotionally. It is no secret that he put his career on hold so that Mary could build hers,” says the source as per Hindustan Times.
Onler, a footballer and a lawyer by education, chose to put his career on hold so that he could raise their kids and take care of the house.
Mary Kom and Onkholer started dating in 2000 and were married five years later in 2007. Their love story was also featured in the boxer’s biopic of the same name, which starred Priyanka Chopra and Darshan Kumar in important parts.
As a professional football player, Onkholer put his wife’s career ahead of his own so she could represent the nation with honour. While Mary Kom received praise, he stayed at home, took care of the house, and reared the children.
Mary Kom’s new partner
The rumours of Kom’s divorce have been fuelled by the fact that Hitesh Choudhary, Mary Kom’s business partner and the chairman of the Mary Kom Foundation, has posted multiple photos of Mary Kom with the Olympic-winning boxer. A former cricket player, Hitesh Choudhary currently manages Mary Kom’s business and is said to be the husband of another boxer. More details about him or the name of his wife isn’t known.
