Almost everyone is aware of Vinod Kambli's professional life, but it is his personal life that has always remained in the shadows. Today, we will look at his married life, which is filled with a series of ups and downs.
For the uninitiated, Vinod Kambli got married twice, but as of now, it is not known whether he is living with his second wife or not. The last time we heard about Vinod Kambli's wife was back in 2023, when the latter accused him of assaulting her. Thus, without further ado, let's get straight into the details of his two wives.
According to a report in Aaj Tak, the former Indian cricketer, Vinod Kambli fell in love with the receptionist, Noella Lewis of Pune's Hotel Blue Diamond. The cricketer dated the receptionist for some time, and once both of them were convinced to spend the rest of their lives together, they got married. Vinod Kambli and Noella Lewis got married in 1998. However, the marriage didn't last long, and soon, they parted ways with each other.
As per a report in the DNA, back in the late '90s and early ‘2000s, gossip columns reported that the reason behind Vinod Kambli and Noella Lewis' failed marriage was the former's excessive drinking. Not only this, some media reports even suggested that Kambli was allegedly involved with some other ladies. However, there were no proofs to support the speculations and the reason why Vinod and Noella ended their marriage is still unknown.

After parting ways with his first wife, Noella Lewis, Vinod Kambli fell in love with an established fashion model, Andrea Hewitt, around 2000. In order to marry Andrea, Kambli even converted to Christianity. After dating each other for six years, Kambli and Andrea got married in 2006 in a court marriage. The couple welcomed a boy and a girl, Jesus (2010) and Johanna (2014), in their paradise.
Despite tying the knot in court marriage, Vinod Kambli and Andrea Hewitt decided to marry again in 2014 with all the pomp and swagger. It was a traditional Christian wedding ceremony that took place at Saint Peter's Church on Bandra Hill Road. Interestingly, Kambli and Andrea's son, Jesus Christiano, was also present at his parents' wedding. It was one of the major talking points that kept Kambli's second wedding in the headlines.

Andrea revealed that Kambli allegedly threw a cooking pan at her, due to which she had suffered a major head injury. The news created a stir across India, but Kambli wasn't arrested. As of now, it is not known whether the couple is living together peacefully or not. We hope Kambli and Andrea have sorted their differences and are supporting each other.
