The first cracks in their relationship began to appear in 2023. Fans noticed that the couple wasn’t as active together online.

By January 2025, the divorce rumours had gained serious momentum. Reports suggested that things have reached a point of no return. In February 2025, Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma were spotted outside Bandra Family Court, which fuelled the rumours of an official divorce.
According to reports, a 45-minute court-mandated counselling session couldn’t turn things around and both mutually agreed to part ways. However, an official divorce announcement is yet to be be made.
It is worth mentioning that before the court proceedings, both shared cryptic messages on Instagram. Chahal thanked God for protecting him, while Dhanashree spoke about turning stress into blessings. If words were indicators, these posts were clear signs that this relationship had run its course.
