Yuvraj Singh Birthday Special: From Missed Meetings to Marriage — The Love Story That Shaped His Life with Hazel Keech

The 44th birthday of the iconic Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh is a reason for fans to not only look back at his major on-field achievements but also the personal life of the cricketer that was filled with ups and downs — his gradual, emotional romance with actress-model Hazel Keech. What started with the fate not being in their favor turned out to be one of the most liked celebrity couples in the Indian film industry.

How Their Story Began

The first spark was lit in 2011, when Yuvraj noticed Hazel at a friend’s party. While he was instantly interested, Hazel wasn’t — and she avoided meeting him for nearly three and a half years. Despite repeated failed attempts, Yuvraj remained patient.

Everything shifted in 2014, when he discovered Hazel was connected with one of his close friends on Facebook. A friend request, a conversation, and eventually, a comfortable rapport followed — something Yuvraj still jokingly calls a turning point.

Awkward Starts and Slow Progress

Their early interactions were far from smooth. In one instance, Hazel agreed to meet Yuvraj for coffee and then switched off her phone, leaving him puzzled. But as time passed, awkwardness dissolved into warm conversations, regular calls, and eventually, a proper first date — the true beginning of their relationship.

The Proposal and Wedding

By November 2015, Yuvraj was ready to take the next step. The couple got engaged in Bali, a moment he recalls with humour, including asking Hazel which finger the ring should go on.

They married on 30 November 2016, celebrating with ceremonies rooted in both Sikh and Hindu traditions. After the wedding, Hazel adopted the name Gurbasant Kaur.

Parenthood and a Growing Family

The couple welcomed son Orion in January 2022 and daughter Aura in July 2023. Hazel has often spoken about Yuvraj’s hands-on approach to fatherhood — from comforting their children to fully engaging in daily routines. Public appearances also highlight their playful dynamic, with candid moments and affectionate gestures that fans adore.

A Relationship Built on Real Moments

Their bond is characterized by its genuineness which is the reason that it is so different from others - the jokes, the confessions, the chaos of parenting, and the laughter that comes from the scenes. Their chemistry, both online and offline, reflects a relationship built on trust and honesty.

Hazel's Birthday Tribute This Year

To commemorate Yuvraj's birthday, Hazel posted on social media a very touching note full of praise for him, saying that he is not only a cricket legend but also an everyday hero in the eyes of their children. Her message brought out his development as a partner and father which was very much in tune with the fans.

A Love Story That Took Its Time

Their story began not with the magical pull but rather a long process of patience, humor, and a surprising connection that kept growing in strength with time. So, when Yuvraj is having his 44th birthday party, this romance is proving once again that the saying holds true that the strongest bonds are the ones that take time to bloom, at their own pace.
