From all-rounder to ‘all yours’: Chloe Tryon pops the question to longtime love

South African cricket star and Proteas all-rounder, Chloe Tryon, is engaged to Michelle Nativel. Tryon recently announced that she ended the year by proposing to her girlfriend.

Tyron announced the engagement, sharing a photo of the proposal on Instagram with the caption, "A lifetime of us." This personal milestone comes in the same year she has gained significant recognition in the spotlight as one of world cricket's most popular female explosive all-rounders.

She has consistently delivered significant contributions with both bat and ball. Her career includes participation in several international tournaments, notably the Women's World Cup.

In May 2025, she achieved recognition as the ICC Women’s Player of the Month and expressed, “I’ve been trying to find consistency for a while. So I’m happy that I could finally come together in Sri Lanka. Hopefully, I can build on those and help the team towards a big year that we have.”

Her explosive, world-class performances in the Tri-series against India and Sri Lanka drew considerable attention, and she expressed a desire to maintain this consistency for the team leading up to the end-of-year World Cup.

She is concluding a successful year in the spotlight, marked by a high point.

Nativel is herself a recognisable public figure, known for her work as a choreographer, director, and influencer, frequently sharing comedic, branded content on TikTok.

The announcement was met with considerable support and excitement from both fans and fellow cricketers.

For example, on Instagram, fan @fitandfabuloussandrea wrote, "Yesss!! I’ve been waiting for this secretly. Congratulations cuz! I am so happy for both of you. ❤️"

Fellow female cricket star Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who is also expecting a baby with her partner, reacted with enthusiasm: "YESSSSSSSS 😍😍😍 congratulations you 2! 🥹 ❤️❤️❤️"
