‘You both look beautiful. Enjoy your evening,β one fan added.
Henriques took home no awards on Wednesday but was shortlisted for the Sixers’ BBL player of the year and One-Day Cup player of the year.
Henriques is a much-loved cricketer, having represented Australia in all three formats of the game throughout his career.
The all-rounder has a four-year-old son from his former marriage to ex Krista Thomas.
Henriques and Thomas tied the knot in 2018 with their wedding in Cairns.
The cricket star has also been widely praised for talking openly about mental health issues, including his own.

In 2018, Henriques revealed in a tell-all interview that he continually struggled with crippling depression and anxiety.
He often did not sleep during test matches.
At the time, Henrqiues’ doctor recommended that he go to a mental health facility, but he was so embarrassed that he immediately checked himself.
He couldn’t bring himself to talk to other patients, thinking he was blessed after an illustrious playing career left him in financial trouble, while others in therapy had “real problems.”
