Rassie has played just three IPL games for RR this season but his wife is being misunderstood as Buttler’s wife. In fact, Buttler is married to Lousie Webber and the pair has two daughters ‐ Georgia Rose and Margot.

“I think I’ve now adopted Jos as my second husband it seems

Lara, in a hilarious conversation on Rajasthan Royals official podcast, said she has accepted the England star player as her adopted husband.

“I think I’ve now adopted Jos as my second husband it seems. I’ve been known as Louise, I think that’s what his wife’s name is, I haven’t met her before that makes it worse,” Lara said on Rajasthan Royals Podcast.

“People think I’m Jos’ wife. I definitely think it’s because I’ve been in camera quite a few times. And Dhanashree and I cannot control ourselves next to the field as we are quite invested in the cheering. And Jos has been getting 100s as we go along and maybe the excitement has got people thinking probably I’m part of him, so it’s quite interesting.

“And Rassie has not played as much in the IPL so I haven’t been able to show the same sentiment to him. So I’ll just adopt the cheering for Jos for now on and enjoy it,” she added.
