One user wrote, “Please don’t get separated. You both are so adorable. Tara is still small. She will cry to see you both apart.” Another urged them to “please address the rumours about you two.” Despite the ongoing speculation, the exchange between Jay and Mahhi offered fans a brief moment of warmth amid uncertainty about their relationship status. Divorce Papers Reportedly Finalised According to a report by Hindustan Times, Jay and Mahhi filed for divorce earlier this year after several attempts to mend their relationship. The report claims that the divorce papers were “signed and finalised” between July and August 2025, with custody arrangements for their children already decided. A source cited in the report said, “Separation happened a long time ago. Much was tried, but nothing changed.” Jay and Mahhi, who tied the knot in 2011, share daughter Tara, born in 2019, and foster children Rajveer and Khushi, whom they took in in 2017. The couple was last seen together publicly during Tara’s birthday celebration in August. While Mahhi reportedly moved into a new home recently, Jay has been spending time with his children, as seen in his recent posts. Fans, however, continue to hope that the couple will find their way back to each other.
