Andrea Hewitt is a former model from Mumbai and the second wife of former India batter Vinod Kambli, whom she married in a private civil ceremony in 2006, according to India TV. As of 26 September 2026 the couple are still married. She filed for divorce and withdrew the filing, a decision she explained in a January 2025 podcast.
Her name is back in the news because of her husband. On 25 September 2026 a video spread online in which Kambli, 54, speaks from the Nidan elderly care center in Thane and praises its facilities, Sportskeeda wrote. Sportskeeda and CricTracker carried no comment from Andrea on the clip. Her last on-record words about his health came in April 2026, when she called the reports about him false.
Andrea Hewitt at a glance
Most of what is known about Vinod Kambli’s wife comes from three moments: the 2023 police complaint, the January 2025 podcast and the April 2026 health statement. Each item names the outlet that carried it, and a detail no national outlet has printed is marked as unconfirmed.
- Known as: the second wife of Vinod Kambli, who played 17 Tests and 104 ODIs for India (India TV, January 2025; Wikipedia).

- Marriage: a private civil ceremony in 2006 (India TV and Gulf News, January 2025).
- Children: a son and a daughter (India TV, January 2025).
- Home: the family house in Bandra, Mumbai, named in the February 2023 police account (ANI).
- Age: not confirmed. No national outlet has printed her date of birth.
- Status as of 26 September 2026: married to Kambli, with no separation on record since she withdrew her divorce filing.
The age question has no settled answer. StarsUnfolded lists 4 December 1978, Profile Age gives 1981 as the birth year, and Wikigraphy and Cricket Times give 21 April with no year at all. None of these profiles names a document or an interview behind the date, and Andrea has not stated her age in any interview carried by a national outlet.
She is also a different person from the New Zealand triathlete of the same name. That Andrea Hewitt, now Andrea Hansen, was born in Christchurch on 4 April 1982 and raced at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympics, according to her Wikipedia entry.
Modeling work and how she met Vinod Kambli
India TV, Gulf News and NewsX all describe Andrea as a former model, and Wikipedia calls her a fashion model. NewsX wrote in April 2026 that she is best known for advertising campaigns with brands such as Tanishq. None of these outlets lists an agency, a campaign year or a later job.
The story of how the couple met survives only secondhand. NewsX says Kambli spotted her in a billboard advertisement and then tried to track her down, and it frames the account as alleged. BollywoodShaadis adds that she kept away from the limelight for most of the marriage. The “supermodel” label on social media posts has no support in these reports.
Marriage, Kambli’s conversion and their two children
Kambli had been married once before. His first wife was Noella Lewis, whom he married at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Pune, and after they separated he married Andrea, according to Wikipedia. That makes two marriages in total, with Andrea as his current wife.
The wedding to Andrea was a private civil ceremony in 2006, India TV and Gulf News both wrote in January 2025. Wikipedia adds that Kambli converted to Catholicism after this second marriage. Kambli has said he respects all religions, the same entry notes.
The couple has a son and a daughter, India TV wrote in January 2025.
The 2023 police complaint and the divorce she withdrew
The marriage came under police scrutiny in February 2023. Andrea filed a complaint at Bandra police station alleging that Kambli, in an inebriated state, threw the handle of a cooking pan at her and caused a head injury, a Bandra police official told ANI, as carried by Business Standard on 5 February 2023. She was treated at Bhabha Hospital before going to the police, and the case was registered under IPC sections 324 and 504.
Part of her complaint was read out in India TV’s report: “Despite trying to pacify him, he abused me and my son for no reason.” Police served Kambli a notice to appear and record his statement. His phone was switched off when India TV tried to reach him.
That same year she filed for divorce, Gulf News and Sportskeeda wrote, citing her own account. She later withdrew it, a step Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja also took at the Bandra family court in August 2026. In January 2025 she explained why in a podcast with freelance journalist Suryanshi Pandey:
“I once thought about it (separating). But I realised that he would be helpless if I leave him. He is like a child, and that hurts me. It makes me feel worried. I would not even leave a friend, and he is obviously more than that.”
In the same conversation she spoke about his drinking, and Gulf News wrote that she described at least 14 stints in rehabilitation. She also said their son had supported her during Kambli’s hospital stays. The interview came a few weeks after Kambli left a Thane hospital he had entered in December 2024. Kambli himself later said he had been suffering from a urine problem before he collapsed, Gulf News wrote.
Earlier police cases: 2015 and 2018
Two older cases put Andrea herself in police records. In August 2015, The Tribune wrote that Bandra police had registered a case against Kambli and Andrea after their maid, Soni Sarsal, complained of unpaid wages and said she had been confined in the house for three days. The report carried no response from the couple.
In July 2018 the couple accused the father of singer Ankit Tiwari of touching Andrea inappropriately at Inorbit Mall in Malad. The Tiwari family told a different story, saying Andrea had threatened and hit the older man, and they lodged their own complaint at Bangur Nagar police station, DNA India wrote, citing Mumbai Mirror. Neither report records how either case ended.
Her statements on Kambli’s health, and the Nidan video
Andrea has spoken for her husband on his health only when claims about it spread. In April 2026 a family friend’s remarks about Kambli’s condition circulated widely. Andrea answered through India Today: “By God’s grace, Vinod is fine. I don’t know who is spreading false information about his health,” the Times of India sports desk wrote on 17 April 2026 in a story syndicated by Yahoo Sports. BollywoodShaadis carried the same words from her conversation with journalist Vickey Lalwani.
On the medical side, the firmest details come from Kambli himself. Gulf News wrote in January 2025 that he had told YouTuber Vicky Lalwani doctors found clots in his brain during a medical examination. His 2013 hospital stay after a heart attack ended with angioplasty on two arteries, according to Wikipedia.
The September 2026 video is in Kambli’s own words, translated from Hindi by Sportskeeda: “I am at Nidan and the facilities here are very good. The hygiene and everything over here are first-class. Here, it doesn’t feel like I am not at home.” CricTracker dated the clip to 25 September 2026. The reports do not say how long he has stayed there or who arranged it, and Andrea has not addressed it on record.
