Mitchell Starc & Alyssa Healy, Together For 6 Years

Mitchell Starc and Alyssa Healy are Australian cricket royalty whose partnership goes back to their primary school days. The two met when they were nine years old, and Starc, who is a fast bowler, was just perfecting his skills as a wicketkeeper. Decades later, he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him in 2015. She said “Yes,” and they tied the knot the very next year.

Their union makes them the third couple globally to play test cricket, after Sri Lankan natives Guy and Rasanjali who achieved the same fete in the ’80s and ’90s. Athleticism runs in the family, and Healy’s brother-in-law, Brandon Starc, is a high jumper.
