Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is once again making headlines, but this time it’s not about his performance on the field. His recent social media activity has sparked widespread discussion online, pulling his past relationships back into public conversation.
The buzz began after users noticed a ‘like’ from Kohli’s account on a post by a German influencer, LizLaz. Screenshots quickly circulated, triggering memes, debates, and renewed curiosity about his personal life.
Izabelle Leite Responds to Viral Post
Amid the growing chatter, Kohli’s former girlfriend Izabelle Leite reacted to a viral Instagram post that featured a collage of women linked to him over the years, including herself, Anushka Sharma, LizLaz, and Avneet Kaur.
The post praised Kohli’s “taste in women,” but Izabelle didn’t take it lightly. Responding in the comments, she wrote,
“It’s been 12 years, and counting. Why can’t people get over it.”
Her response quickly gained traction, with many users supporting her stance and calling for privacy.
The Social Media Controversy Explained
This isn’t the first time Kohli’s Instagram activity has drawn attention. In the past, a similar situation arose when fans spotted a ‘like’ on actress Avneet Kaur’s post. At the time, Kohli attributed it to an “algorithm error.”
The latest incident follows a similar pattern, though Kohli has not publicly commented this time.
German Influencer LizLaz Shares Her Reaction
LizLaz also addressed the situation, expressing surprise at the scale of attention it received. She mentioned that she only learned about the ‘like’ through media reports and messages from followers.
She added that while she appreciated the support, she felt the situation was blown out of proportion and likely unintentional.
Kohli and Izabelle Leite’s Past Relationship
Izabelle Leite had previously confirmed that she dated Virat Kohli for nearly two years. She spoke about their relationship during promotions for her film Purani Jeans in 2014.
Kohli later married actor Anushka Sharma in 2017. The couple now have two children — daughter Vamika and son Akaay.
