Brazilian model and actor Izabelle Leite has expressed her frustration after being dragged back into the spotlight following a viral social media post about Virat Kohli’s personal life. The interaction, which has since taken over fan feeds, highlights a relationship that ended more than a decade ago but continues to fascinate the public.
The stir began when a popular Instagram page shared a collage featuring Leite alongside Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma, and other women whose photos the cricketer has recently interacted with on social media. The post was captioned: “Nobody can deny about Virat Kohli is that his taste in women is absolute elite.”
Izabelle, who has long moved on from her time in the Indian entertainment industry, didn’t hold back in the comments section. Reacting to being included in the “taste in women” comparison, she dropped a weary emoji and wrote:
“It’s been 12 years, and counting. Why can’t people get over it?”
Her blunt response quickly garnered thousands of likes, with many fans coming to her defense, agreeing that it is time to stop linking the two nearly twelve years after their breakup.
For those who weren’t following the cricket-meets-Bollywood gossip in the early 2010s, Virat and Izabelle were one of the most talked-about rumored couples of the era.
The Meeting: The pair reportedly met in 2012 while filming a commercial in Singapore.
The Relationship: They managed to keep their relationship largely under wraps for nearly two years, from 2012 to 2014.
The Confirmation: It wasn’t until 2014, during the promotions for her film Purani Jeans, that Izabelle officially confirmed they had dated. She stated at the time, “Virat was one of the first Indian friends I had… we were together for almost two years.”
While many only know her through her past association with the former Indian captain, Izabelle built a respectable career in India.
1. Bollywood Debut: She made a brief appearance in Aamir Khan’s Talaash (2012) before starring in the teen drama Sixteen (2013).
2. South Cinema: She later transitioned to Telugu films, appearing in projects like Mr. Majnu (2019) and World Famous Lover (2020).
3. Current Life: Today, Izabelle has stepped away from the glitz of Mumbai. She is currently married and settled in Doha, Qatar, where she lives with her husband and two children.
The renewed interest was sparked by recent social media activity from Virat Kohli’s account, including a “like” on a post by German vlogger LizLaz that was quickly removed. While the cricketer has previously attributed such interactions to “algorithm errors,” internet meme pages used the moment to revisit his entire dating history.
Despite the digital noise, both parties have clearly moved on. Virat and Anushka Sharma, who married in 2017, recently welcomed their second child, Akaay, earlier this year. Izabelle’s recent comment serves as a firm reminder that while the internet never forgets, the people involved certainly have. To know
