    Out sight seeing in New Zealand -- the co-hosts for the quadrennial event, Akram tweeted that he wished to be with his wife, and posted a photograph of his with a scenic hill background.
     
    "Exploring New Zealand wish you were here @iamShaniera #amazingview#adventure#travelnewzealand," tweeted Akram, who married Shaniera in 2013.
