"It is indeed sad to see this extremely private and sensitive matter be made the subject of erroneous story leading to all manner of public conjecture," the statement further said.
The statement issued by the party said the reports had put an "unacceptable burden" on Maneka and Khan's children.
It said the children had to learn about the private affairs of Imran Khan and Maneka from the media.
The statement said if the proposal is accepted then the 1992-World Cup winning Pakistani cricketing legend will make a public announcement "in the proper manner."
Speculation over Imran Khan's third marriage came to light after The News published a report that claimed the politician has married for third time.
Imran Khan has secretly married again, this time with a woman he used to visit for spiritual guidance, The News reported.
