Izabelle Leite Pushes Back After Virat Kohli’s Brief Instagram ‘Like’ Prompts Renewed Scrutiny

His silence on a short‑lived ‘like’ of German vlogger LizLaz’s post shows how a fleeting click can revive old links.

Overview

  • News outlets reported Tuesday that Kohli’s Instagram account briefly liked German vlogger LizLaz’s post before the interaction vanished, which led to rapid sharing of screenshots.
  • Izabelle Leite, who dated Kohli from 2012 to 2014, replied to a viral collage praising his “taste in women” by writing, “It’s been 12 years, and counting. Why can’t people get over it.”
  • LizLaz told Hindustan Times she first learned about the like from the news and said she felt sorry for Kohli after he unliked her post.
  • Kohli has not commented on the episode, a shift from May 2025 when he said an earlier viral like was an algorithmic mistake with no intent.
  • The coverage shows a familiar loop in celebrity life where a fleeting tap by a high‑profile account spurs screenshots, entertainment headlines, and revived past associations.
