Though unverified, the image’s spread underscores the duo’s growing public affection.
The couple, linked romantically for some time, has fueled speculation with subtle gestures. Recent social media posts and past hints suggest a private ceremony might soon follow the cricket season’s close. Close sources hint at an official announcement post-World Cup celebrations.
