Indian cricketer Virat Kohli has once again found himself trending online – this time not for his performance on the field, but for ‘liking’ a post by German vlogger LizLaz on Instagram. While the internet was swinging between memes and mild criticism, it was his ex-girlfriend, Brazilian model Isabel Leite, who gave a rare reaction.An Instagram page recently shared a photo collage featuring Isabelle, Anushka Sharma, German vlogger Lezlas, and Avneet Kaur — all women whose photos were said to have been “impressed” by Kohli at various points. “No one can deny Virat Kohli that his taste in women is absolute elite,” the caption read, also adding: “From Isabelle Lett to Anushka Sharma…elite taste is just part of the brand.”In response to the post, Isabel dropped an exhausted emoji and wrote: “It’s been 12 years and counting.
Why can’t people just get over it,” alongside a cringe emoji — making it clear she’s not enjoying the constant engagement.
A past relationship refuses to fade from the headlines
For those who do not know him, Isabelle and Kohli were said to have been dating between 2012 and 2014, before he began his relationship with Anushka. In 2014, during the promotions of her film Purani Jeans, Isabelle shut down questions about Kohli’s personal life, saying that she wanted to focus only on her work.
She has since moved elsewhere, and is now married and settled in Doha, Qatar, with her husband and two children. Professionally, she was last seen in the films “Mr. Majnoon” (2019) and “The World Famous Lover” (2020), and no new projects have been announced yet.
