Islamabad: Though his cricketing career was still in its early stages in the mid-1970s, Imran Khan's love life was constant and he generally brought a 'special' girl with him to his matches, claims a biography of Pakistan's cricketer-turned politician.
The book claims flings, girls and sex was gallore in the former Pakistan cricketer's life. Here's a look at his personal life.
Khan married Jemima Goldsmith on May 16, 1995, in Paris. The marriage, described as "tough" by Khan, produced two sons, Sulaiman Isa and Kasim. As an agreement of his marriage, Khan spent four months a year in England. In 2004, the couple divorced because it was "difficult for Jemima to adapt to life in Pakistan".
During 1970s and 1980s, Khan became known as a socialite due to his "non-stop partying" at London nightclubs such as Annabel's and Tramp, though he claims to have hated English pubs and to never drink alcohol. He gained notoriety in London gossip columns for romancing young debutantes such as Susannah Constantine, Lady Liza Campbell and the artist Emma Sergeant.
"It didn't work out and it couldn't work out because my work comes first," Sergeant says firmly. "Imran and I really enjoyed each other's company. It's easy to think of him as a sex god, but we had a very nice friendship.
"We were such a funny combination - an artist and a cricketer. But it would have been impossible for him to support me in what I wanted to do, given what he wanted to do."
Khan was alleged to had a child out of wedlock with Ana-Luisa White (Sita White), the daughter of Lord "Gordy" White, a few years before he married Jemima Goldsmith. In 1997, a US Judge ruled by default that Tyrian was Imran Khan's child after he failed to turn up for hearing.

Following White's death in May 2004, Khan denied the reports that he and his wife are taking custody of 12-year old Tyrian, the late Sita White’s daughter. Later in 2007, Election Commission of Pakistan ruled in favor of Khan and rejected the complaint filed against him regarding this case.
