When Yuvraj Singh with mother Shabnam and wife Hazel Keech made appearance at the Isha Ambani-Anand Piramal wedding on Wednesday, it was evident that the couple had some good news to announce soon from the way his better half posed for the paparazzi with her hand protectively covering her stomach. Soon, guests at the bash were telling each other that the stork had been visiting the Singhs and Hazel was in the family way. Yes, Yuvi is on his way to becoming a daddy cool! The day was special for another reason. It marked the cricketer’s 37 th birthday. Hazel had wished her husband with a heartfelt Instagram post, describing him as the “most beautiful human being” who has selflessly stood by her side. “You have made my life complete and my wish for you every day, especially today on your birthday, is to feel the love that surrounds you, and feel how special and wonderful you are,” she asserted.

The couple tied the knot on November 30, 2016, in Chandigarh according to Sikh rituals, followed by a beach party in Goa attended by the entire Indian crickert team. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma had attended the bash and grabbed eyeballs when a video of them dancing together to the Bhangra beat of “Gurnaal Ishq Mitha” went viral.

On their second wedding anniversary, Hazel had posted a quirky picture of the couple dressed as Batman and Wonder Woman with the caption, “My partner in life and my partner in crime. These two years have taught us how to stick together through good times and bad and I’m so proud of us.”

All this, along with news of the baby, puts an end to the speculations that there’s trouble in paradise and the couple are on the verge of a split. Mirror reached out to Yuvraj with a congratulatory text, but the cricketer chose not to respond.
