Mitchell Starc is once again giving husband goals to all the men out there.
The Australian cricketer melted hearts on social media after his wife Alyssa Healy announced her retirement from international cricket after the coming multi-format series against India.
The 35-year-old wicketkeeper-batter was part of two one-day international World Cup triumphs and six successful T20 World Cup campaigns before taking over as skipper after Meg Lanning's retirement in late 2023.
Power couple of cricket
Healy made her Australia debut in 2010 and scored 3,563 runs with seven centuries in One-Day Internationals and 3,054 with one hundred in T20Is, as well as making 275 dismissals behind the stumps.
Starc's tribute was simple but heartfelt -- a three-word caption on Instagram -- 'Proud of ya' along with a separate post celebrating Healy's glittering career.
The couple, married since April 2016, have long been cricket's ultimate power couple. Starc has consistently shown unwavering support for Healy. He left Australia's South Africa tour early in 2020 to attend the T20 World Cup final at the MCG, where Healy starred for Australia, and more recently flew to India to support her during the women's World Cup semifinal in October 2025.
From cheering in the stands to posting heartfelt tributes online, Starc has set the bar high for supportive partners in sports.
