Mitchell Starc and Alyssa Healy – A Real Love Story, No Filters

 

Some couples are flashy. All over social media. Fancy holidays filtered selfies hashtag love And then there are couples like Mitchell Starc and Alyssa Healy Quiet Private. Real. They do not show off. They just are.

 

Their story did not begin in some romantic way They were not celebrities who bumped into each other at a party They were just two kids playing cricket. Literally Both of them were part of the junior cricket circuit in New South Wales when they were teens. Mitchell Starc was tall skinny and still learning his pace. Alyssa fierce and talented already had cricket in her blood being the niece of Ian Healy But back then they were not thinking about marriage or love They were just focused on the game.

 

Over the years, they saw each other on and off the field. Same training grounds, same tournaments, same dream — playing for Australia. They became good friends. The kind of friendship where you don’t even need to talk much. You just understand each other because you’re both living the same life.

 

Their relationship turned romantic much later Not because of some big moment but probably because it just felt right. They knew each other. They respected each other. And they did not have to explain their lifestyle the missed birthdays the endless travel the mental pressure because both of them were living it.

 

In April 2016 they got married. No big press coverage. No magazine photoshoot. Just a quiet ceremony with close family and friends. The kind of wedding where people laugh eat hug and no one’s worried about their outfit being on Instagram. It was not a cricket event. It was a personal one.

 

What is beautiful about them is how they continue to stay grounded even with all their fame. Between them they have won World Cups played in sold out stadiums broken records. But when they are home they are just Mitch and Lyss. Not Australia is fast bowler and wicketkeeper superstar. Just a married couple doing regular things walking the dog watching TV grabbing takeaway and arguing over whose turn it is to do the laundry.

 

You rarely see them post about each other online. And when they do it is never a show. It is always a bit silly a bit sarcastic like inside jokes only close couples have. That is what makes them real.

 

One of the moments that showed the depth of their relationship was during the 2020 Women is T20 World Cup Final. Alyssa was opening for Australia at the MCG. A massive moment. Almost 90,000 fans in the stands. She had worked hard to get there — and she was on fire that tournament.

 

Mitchell Starc was on tour in South Africa with the men’s team. But instead of staying there, he flew back early — just to be there for her. No media pressure, no PR move. Just pure support. He sat in the stands that day, cheering like any other proud husband. Alyssa went on to score big in that final, and Australia won. People noticed Mitchell’s presence. Not because of what he did, but because of the kind of partner he was — present, supportive, silent, and proud.

 

That is the thing about them — there is no competition. No ego. They are both elite athletes both stars in their own right but they lift each other up. Alyssa once joked that she is won more trophies than Starc. He just laughed. Because at the end of the day they are not keeping score. They are just doing life together.

 

There’s also a kind of calm around them. Starc is known to be quiet off the field. Focused. Reserved. Alyssa’s got more energy, a sharper tongue, more playful. But they balance each other. They don’t try to be the same. They just fit.

 

Over the years they have had to spend long months apart Starc on tour Alyssa playing league cricket or captaining the Aussie women is side But they have made it work. No drama no scandals no gossip. Just trust That is rare in any relationship even more so when you both live in the spotlight.

 

Now, in 2025, it’s been almost nine years since they tied the knot. And somehow, they’re still the same people they were when they met — just more grown, more experienced, more settled. And more in tune with each other.

 

They don’t need to prove anything to the world. Their actions — the way they show up for each other, the way they support without flashing it — say it all.

 

Not all love stories are loud. Some are quiet, deep, and steady. Like theirs.
