Virat and Anushka tied the knot in Italy on December 11, 2017 in Italy. The duo was blessed with Vamika on January 11, 2021. The couple was tight-lipped about their second pregnancy. On February 15, 2024, they became parents to son Akaay.

After Virat Kohli's team RCB won their first-ever IPL trophy, the star batter shared a special post for Anushka, opening about the 'support and sacrifices' his wife made behind the scenes in his IPL journey since 2014.

'I've seen it for 18 years and she's seen it for 11. Suffered the same moments since 2014 and celebrated every close win and the madness of our supporters at the Chinnaswamy. We're both equally relieved and since shes a bangalore girl too this is far more special for her. Together all the way through (red heart emojis) @anushkasharma,' he captioned the post.
