Yuvraj and Kim dated for four years and were almost ready to tie the knot but due to mutual issues, the couple ended their relationship in 2007. Ever since neither of them have spoken about each other but it was nice to see Sharma support her ex-boyfriend in such a big moment in his life.  Yuvraj Singh Retires From International Cricket; How the All-Rounder Beat Cancer and Emerged a Winner

At the press conference today, Hazel spoke about supporting Yuvi's decision, she said, "As a wife, it is not my place to tell him what to do. He has my full support on the retirement decision. I did not watch cricket before meeting Yuvi. When Yuvi's cricketing kit arrived in 2014, I saw him crying. I didn't understand the emotion at that point. I guess only cricketers can understand how it is to get picked for the national team."
