Mary Kom & Husband Karung Onkholer Headed For Divorce After 20 Years? Report Claims Couple Living Seperately

India's boxing legend MC Mary Kom's marriage is in trouble with reports suggesting the boxing legend and her husband, Karung Onkholer (known as Onler), are living separately. According to a Hindustan Times report, sources have confirmed that while they have been apart for some time, there have been no official divorce proceedings yet.

The couple is said to have drifted apart following Onler’s failed attempt to win a seat in the 2022 Manipur assembly elections. According to close sources, Mary Kom moved to Faridabad with their four children, while Onler has been staying in Delhi with some family members.

Why are Mary Kom and her husband living separately?

The tension reportedly grew after Onler’s electoral defeat, and it is believed that Mary was unhappy about the significant financial losses (around INR 2–3 crores) incurred during the campaign.

It was Mary’s decision for Onler to contest, even though he had expressed concerns about the volatile political situation in Manipur. After the defeat, their marital issues escalated, leading to Mary relocating with the children.

Has Mary Kom fallen in love yet again?

Reports suggest that no official statement has been made by the couple, but Mary Kom might be involved in another relationship. There are speculation that the former World Champion has been linked to another boxer’s husband.

Additionally, Mary Kom’s political involvement, particularly her association with the BJP, has added another layer to the speculation about her personal life. Her role in politics and the recent strain in her marriage have both made headlines, raising questions about her future in both her personal and professional spheres.
