Glenn Maxwell took to social media site
Instagram to wish his Indian-origin fiancee Vini Raman on her birthday on.
Maxwell posted a photo of the two of them together with the caption "Happy
Birthday to my stunning fiance! You're awesome. #birthdaygirl #loveyou."
Raman responded to the photo with a cute yet sassy comment. "Love you...
even though your choice of instagram filters is highly questionable," she
wrote on the photo. Maxwell and Raman announced
their engagement last week
through posts on Instagram.
Maxwell
had posted a picture with Raman on February 27 and captioned the post with a
ring emoji.
Raman also
posted a picture on her Instagram account and revealed that Glenn Maxwell had
asked her to marry him last week. "Last week my favourite person asked me
to marry him #YES," she captioned the post.
Maxwell
had credited Vini Raman for being the first to ask him to speak to someone when
he had taken a mental health break from
cricket in October last year.
"It
was actually my partner who suggested I speak to someone, she was the first one
who noticed it, so I should probably thank her as well. Once I had that initial
conversation it was a big weight off my shoulders," Maxwell had said.
The
Australian credited his girlfriend who stood by him during his initial
struggles with mental health.
"My
girlfriend was probably No. 1, it wasn't an easy job for her to deal with me
going through my mood swings for the first few weeks, but Michael Lloyd was the
guy I had the initial conversation with, he's been someone who I've confided in
since back in the academy days, so I've known him for well over a decade
now."
Maxwell
returned to action in the Big Bash League where he led Melbourne Stars to the
finals of the franchise-based tournament.
Maxwell
was, however, left out of Australia's squad for the tour to South
Africa after the all-rounder was advised to undergo
arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow.
