Star England women’s cricketer Danielle Wyatt, who famously proposed to Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli in 2014, has tied the knot with her longtime partner, Georgie Hodge. Wyatt, known for her explosive batting and record-breaking performances in T20 internationals, shared the joyous news on Instagram, captivating fans and followers with beautiful glimpses of her wedding ceremony.
Wyatt, 33, has been in a relationship with Georgie Hodge, a prominent football agent, since 2019. The couple got engaged last year during a romantic trip to South Africa. Their wedding, which took place on June 10, 2024, was an intimate affair, surrounded by close friends and family. On Friday, August 30, Wyatt shared pictures from the wedding celebrations on social media, officially announcing the union to the world.
In her Instagram post, Wyatt wrote, “22.08.2024, Mrs & Mrs Wyatt-Hodge,” alongside a series of photos where the newlyweds are seen beaming with happiness. The couple’s love and joy were palpable as they posed for the pictures, which quickly garnered thousands of likes and congratulatory messages from fans and fellow athletes.
Wyatt’s journey to this milestone has been as impressive off the field as it has been on it. A veteran of the England women’s cricket team, she made her international debut against India in 2010 and has since established herself as one of the most formidable players in the T20 format. Wyatt is England’s most capped player in T20Is and the all-time leading run-scorer for her country in the format, with over 2,800 runs to her name. She is also the only English cricketer to have scored two centuries in T20Is.
Wyatt’s popularity in India soared in 2014 when she tweeted a lighthearted proposal to Virat Kohli, which instantly went viral. The tweet, “Kohli marry me!” turned her into a household name among Indian cricket fans. Her close connection with India didn’t stop there, as she also became friends with Arjun Tendulkar, the son of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.
As she prepares for the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the United Arab Emirates, Wyatt’s focus remains on helping England secure the coveted title. Despite her personal commitments, she continues to train rigorously, showcasing her dedication to the sport.
