After an impressive run as the new captain of the Gujarat Giants team in the recently concluded Women’s Premier League in India, Australian cricketer Ashleigh Gardner added another reason to celebrate to her list. The ace all-rounder tied the knot with her long-time partner, Monica Wright.
The couple got married in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by friends and loved ones, including some of Ashleigh’s teammates.
The cricketer shared a photo of her and Monica in their bridal finery on Instagram, simply captioning it with a “Mrs & Mrs Gardner”.
In attendance were fellow Australian cricketers, including Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry, Kim Garth and Elyse Villani.
The couple has, reportedly, been dating since 2021 and got engaged in April 2024. Ashleigh Gardner shared the announcement on her Instagram back then, writing “Mrs Gardner has a nice ring to it”.
While they have kept their relationship low-key, the cricketer regularly gives her followers a glimpse into their life together. An indigenous Australian, owing to her mother’s Muruwari background, and an openly LGBTQ+ athlete, Ashley Gardner has paved the way for more inclusivity and diversity in sports ever since she made her debut in 2017. Here’s hoping for more such joyous milestones for the all-rounder.
