Model Saheefa Jabbar Khattak and her husband Khawaja Khizer are still going strong. After she shared her tattoo removal process, fans started speculating about her marriage. Answering frequently asked questions, she reassured them there is nothing to worry about — she chooses to keep her marriage private, is currently in a long distance situation and is not getting his tattoo removed.

On Saturday, she shared a photo of the couple in an embrace and wrote, “Alhamdulillah, things are greater than ever, it’s just [that] we choose to keep our relationship very private. He has gone to Canada for his studies and I am in Pakistan waiting for my visa to come — long distance isn’t bothering us much.”

She explained how they have been dealing with the situation, adding that she is not getting his tattoo removed. “Since so many of you asked as well, we have always been pretty mature with our relationship, our collective goals are so big that we don’t mind long distance. Yes, we have our lows but he has found some great classmates which helps him with his anxiety and in Pakistan I have kept myself busy with work so we are doing pretty fine. I wish him nothing but success and health (not getting his tattoo removed).”

She addressed the matter after many of her followers asked a series of questions including whether she’s removing the tattoo with his face and if things are okay between them.

“This isn’t the first time I have posted my tattoo removal on my stories. I have been posting on and off for about two years now but this time so many people came forward with their overwhelming concern and questions [so] I felt I should address them,” she wrote.

Why she removed a tattoo at all was due to multiple reasons, according to her. Wanting to move on, choosing to let go and also fixing an “ugly, faded” tattoo is some of the things she listed.
