July 13, 2026: Australia Women's vice-captain Ashleigh Gardner has come under the spotlight after her estranged wife, Monica Wright, publicly accused her of cheating. Wright made the claims through a series of Instagram Stories after reports emerged that the couple's relationship had broken down.

Reports Claim the Relationship Changed During the World Cup
According to media reports, people close to Gardner noticed a change in her behaviour during the Women's ODI World Cup in India. Initially, many believed the pressure of playing in a major tournament was the reason. However, later reports claimed that the situation was linked to problems in her personal life.
The reports further stated that Gardner and Wright had a private conversation after returning home, which reportedly became a turning point in their relationship. The couple had also been planning to start a family, but those plans were reportedly cancelled as their relationship broke down. It was also claimed that Gardner later moved out of their home.
The reported separation has reportedly surprised several people within Australian cricket, with Wright said to remain close to a number of Australia Women's players. However, all the cheating claims remain allegations. Neither Ashleigh Gardner nor Georgia Voll has publicly commented on the matter, and there has been no official statement confirming or denying the claims.
