Over the past few days, vintage photographs of Virat Kohli and Brazilian model-actress Izabelle Leite have resurfaced online, reigniting interest in their discreet relationship from the early 2010s. While the pair never confirmed the full extent of their romance at the time, several media outlets have pieced together details of their connection—and revealed what Izabelle is up to today.
quiet chapter in Kohli’s past
Izabelle Leite caught widespread attention when she appeared in a few of Kohli’s Instagram posts circa 2012–2013. Though the couple’s relationship was kept deliberately low-key, Izabelle later acknowledged in interviews that they spent nearly two years together but chose not to make it public.
Their first meeting reportedly took place in Singapore during an advertising shoot, and Kohli was among her first Indian friends. Their bond quietly ended around 2014 with “mutual consent” and no public drama.
From Bollywood to South Indian cinema
Hailing from João Pessoa in Brazil, Izabelle entered the Indian entertainment industry with an uncredited role in Talaash: The Answer Lies Within (2012), followed by a leading appearance in the teen drama Sixteen (2013) and Purani Jeans (2016). She later ventured into Telugu cinema with roles in Narendra (2018), Mr. Majnu (2019), and World Famous Lover (2020). anandabazar.com+14en.wikipedia.org+14en.wikipedia.org+14
Leite also featured in popular commercials and music videos, including Guru Randhawa’s mega-hit “Lahore.” With a string of endorsements for brands like Lakme, Big Bazaar, and Nishat Linen, she carved a prominent niche in the Indian modelling landscape.
