Ashleigh Gardner, Australia's women's cricket vice-captain, has become involved in a personal scandal after her estranged wife, Monica Wright, publicly accused her of infidelity and named teammate Georgia Voll as the suspected other person involved.

The allegations came in a series of Instagram Stories shortly after it was reported that Gardner and Wright had separated following a termination of their marriage. The posts rapidly went viral on social media, sparking debates among cricket fans.


Monica Wright publicly names Georgia Voll on Instagram posts

It all started when the Daily Mail reported that Gardner and Wright's marriage ended in "acrimonious" circumstances. Wright shared the news on Instagram, claiming that it was "too vague." She then went on to add a photo of Australian opener Georgia Voll with the caption:

"This is who my wife cheated on me with..."

Wright also deleted all photographs of Gardner from her Instagram account, including those from their April 2025 wedding ceremony.


Reports claim the marriage ended months after the wedding

Gardner and Wright married in April 2025, after meeting via a dating platform in 2020 and getting engaged in 2024. Several players of the Australian women's cricket team attended the wedding.

According to the Daily Mail, the relationship began to deteriorate two months ago, while Gardner was in India for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup.

According to an unnamed team source, teammates sensed something "off" when Wright traveled to India to see Gardner, though many initially assumed it was due to the pressure of the tournament.

The report further said that after returning to Sydney, Gardner had a private talk with Wright, explaining why her behavior had shifted during the India trip, leaving Wright "shattered" and "distraught." According to the publication, that discussion led to the end of their marriage.


Ashleigh Gardner and Monica Wright were reportedly planning to start a family

The purported split was particularly difficult because the pair had supposedly planned to start a family before deciding to call their relationship quits.

According to an unnamed source quoted by the Daily Mail, Ashleigh Gardner and Wright had already scheduled an appointment at a reproductive clinic, which Wright later cancelled after the separation.

The story also claimed that Ashleigh Gardner moved out of their shared Sydney house while Wright was abroad, removing all of her stuff and leaving only their wedding rings behind.

According to sources cited by the publication, the breakup rocked Australia's close-knit women's cricket squad, as Wright had formed personal relations with several players over the past five years and apparently received letters of support from many of them.

The report further indicated that Cricket Australia's National Selection Panel was notified of the situation before Ashleigh Gardner was selected as captain of the Sydney Sixers in the Women's Big Bash League, and then as co-vice-captain of the national team.

Cricket Australia's senior communications chief, Richard Hinds, when approached by media outlets regarding the situation, responded "no comment."


As of now, neither Ashleigh Gardner nor Voll has publicly addressed the issue, and none of the claims has been independently verified.
