They both got married in 2016 and have been going strong ever since.
Cricket and Bollywood have always shared a close relationship with each other. Both actors and cricketers live a glamorous life, and are often seen working together in advertisements and for promotional events. There are many cases where cricketers have married actresses. For instance, Virat Kohli married Anushka Sharma, Harbhajan Singh married Geeta Basra, Zaheer Khan married Sagarika Ghatge, and the list goes on. These cricketer-celeb couples are often seen sharing adorable pictures on social media. Another such couple is former cricketer Yuvraj Singh and actress Hazel Keech. They both got married in 2016 and have been going strong ever since. Today, let’s take a look at their love story.
Hazel Keech is known for her role in the popular Hindi film Bodyguard. The film starred Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead roles. Hazel was playing the character of Kareena’s friend. According to reports, Yuvraj had met Hazel at a party that was organised by their common friend. It has been found that Yuvraj was head-over-heels in with Hazel Keech when he saw her. At that time, Yuvraj was among the most eligible bachelors in the country.
In an earlier interview, Hazel revealed that even though Yuvraj was a famous personality, she was not interested in cricket at the time; thus, she was not aware of his stardom. She added that this made her not give him that much attention. She further added that she learned about his popularity when Yuvraj hit six consecutive sixes in the 2007 World Cup.
During an episode of the Kapil Sharma Show, Yuvraj revealed that Hazel Keech did not pay heed to him for three years. He kept pursuing her. After about three and a half years, she agreed to go out with him and the duo started dating.
In 2015, Yuvi proposed to Hazel, and the two announced their engagement on social media. Finally, in 2016, the two tied the knot with each other. Both are parents now parents to two beautiful children.
