After months of speculation and swirling rumors, popular radio jockey and social media influencer RJ Mahvash has officially confirmed that she is dating Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. The announcement, made via a heartfelt Instagram post early this morning, puts an end to the buzz that had been building since the two were first spotted together late last year.
In her post, Mahvesh shared a candid photo of herself and Chahal smiling together at what appears to be a cozy dinner setting. The caption read, “Sometimes life surprises you in the best ways. Yes, it’s true—@yuzi_chahal and I are together, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you all for the love and support!”
The post quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments from fans, friends, and well-wishers congratulating the new couple.
The confirmation comes after a rollercoaster of rumors that began in December 2024, when Mahvesh posted pictures from a Christmas celebration featuring Chahal, calling the group her “family.”
The speculation intensified when the duo was spotted together at the ICC Champions Trophy final in Dubai in March 2025, shortly after Chahal’s divorce from choreographer Dhanashree Verma was finalized. Their frequent appearances together, including at IPL matches earlier this month, only fueled the chatter.
Initially, Mahvesh had dismissed the dating rumors, stating in a podcast earlier this year that she was “very much single” and only interested in dating with the intent to marry. She had also shared her past experience of a broken engagement, emphasizing her cautious approach to relationships. However, her stance seems to have softened, and sources close to the couple suggest that her bond with Chahal grew organically over time.
Chahal, known for his playful demeanor both on and off the cricket field, also took to Instagram to acknowledge the relationship. Posting the same photo, he wrote, “Found my lucky charm off the pitch! @rjmahvesh_official, here’s to new beginnings.”
The cricketer’s fans flooded the comments with heart emojis and messages of support.
The news has sparked a wave of excitement among followers of both Mahvesh and Chahal, with many calling them a “perfect match.” Mahvesh, a well-known content creator from Aligarh with a massive online following, has won hearts with her wit and relatable content, while Chahal remains a fan favorite in the cricketing world, currently playing for Punjab Kings in the IPL. This development follows Chahal’s high-profile divorce from Dhanashree Verma, which was finalized last month after the couple had been living separately for over a year. Neither Mahvesh nor Chahal has commented on the timeline of their relationship in relation to his past marriage, choosing instead to focus on their happiness together.
