Danielle Wyatt, the celebrated cricketer from England who once famously proposed to Virat Kohli in 2014, recently made headlines for a different reason: her marriage to longtime partner Georgie Hodge.
The couple tied the knot on August 22, and Wyatt shared the joyous occasion with her followers on Instagram, posting beautiful images from their wedding. Wyatt’s marriage to Hodge marks a significant personal milestone for the cricketer. Their union, a celebration of love and LGBTQ+ acceptance, has garnered widespread congratulations on social media. The couple’s long-standing relationship has finally culminated in this special moment, symbolizing their commitment and shared journey.
Social media blunder and Danielle Wyatt’s witty comeback
Despite the celebrations, a mix-up on social media provided an unexpected twist. Indian paparazzi Viral Bhayani mistakenly identified Wyatt and Hodge as another same-sex couple from the England cricket team, Natalie Sciver and Katherine Brunt, who had married in 2022.
Bhayani’s post quickly caught Wyatt’s attention, and she responded with a blend of humor and grace. Wyatt playfully congratulated Sciver and Brunt, turning the error into an opportunity for light-hearted banter. Her response was met with widespread appreciation from her followers, who praised her for her good-natured handling of the situation.

Wyatt’s continued impact and upcoming ventures
Wyatt, at 33, continues to be a standout player in international cricket, demonstrating remarkable longevity and skill in her career. As she prepares to compete for England in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Wyatt’s impact on the game remains profound.
Wyatt is celebrated for her extensive contributions to England cricket. She holds the distinction of being England’s highest run-scorer across formats and has also played the most international matches for her country. Her prowess in T20 Internationals is particularly notable, with two centuries to her name, showcasing her ability to excel in the shortest format of the game.
Following the T20 World Cup, Wyatt is set to take part in the tenth edition of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL). She will represent the Hobart Hurricanes, stepping into the team by leaving the old franchise, Perth Scorchers. Her participation in the WBBL is highly anticipated, as her experience and batting prowess are expected to be a significant asset for the Hurricanes.
