Vini Raman is the Melbourne-born pharmacist who married Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell in 2022 — and has spent the years since building a life, and now a family of four, largely on her own terms. Of Tamil heritage, she trained as a pharmacist before her relationship with Maxwell ever made headlines. In November 2023, she went viral at Wankhede with a three-word caption after his 201* against Afghanistan; in August 2026, the couple welcomed their second child. Here’s what’s publicly confirmed about her — and where the reports disagree.

Early Life, Education and Family
Vini’s parents moved from Chennai to Melbourne before she was born, which is why some headlines call her “from Chennai” even though she was born and raised in Melbourne.
She went to Mentone Girls’ Secondary College in Victoria and completed her studies in medical science. She is also listed as a Monash University alumna.
Vini Raman’s Career as a Pharmacist
News reports consistently describe her as a pharmacist based in Melbourne. No outlet names her employer, role or specialisation, so we do not list them. She and Maxwell both prefer to stay away from photographers in their personal life.
Vini Raman Beyond “Maxwell’s Wife”: A Timeline

- IPL 2020, UAE: Vini publicly answered a racist Instagram comment that accused her of betraying her roots by falling for a white man.
- February 2022: Their wedding invitation in Tamil went viral, and Maxwell joked that security at the Hindu ceremony would need to be tighter.
- July 2023: She shared her Tamil baby shower ceremony, the Valaikaappu, on Instagram.
- November 2023: She was at Wankhede for Maxwell’s double century; her followers were reported at over 225,000 at the time. After Australia won the final, she publicly told trolls that a person can be Indian and still support the country where they were born and raised.

Vini Raman and Glenn Maxwell’s Marriage
The couple married in Melbourne in March 2022 with both a Christian and a Tamil Brahmin ceremony. Maxwell wore a golden sherwani and Vini a red saree for the Tamil ceremony. The wedding had earlier been postponed because of COVID-19, and Maxwell skipped Australia’s tour of Pakistan for it.
Two wedding ceremonies: The couple had their Christian wedding in Melbourne on 18 March 2022, followed by their traditional Tamil ceremony on 27 March 2022.
Two engagement dates. Most reports place the engagement in February 2020, matching the announcement made at the time. One 2023 report instead says the proposal came in 2021. We use February 2020, since it matches the contemporaneous announcement.
Children. Their son, Logan Maverick Maxwell, was born on 11 September 2023, and the news was shared publicly on 15 September. Their daughter, Maia Maxwell, was born on 18 August 2026.
