In a bold and unexpected move, cricket legend Brett Lee has chosen to leave his native Australia for a fresh start in Dubai, and the couple’s new adventures have already begun with a remarkable achievement on the golf course.
Recently, Brett and his wife Lana shared an exciting moment via a video posted on Instagram, showcasing Lana hitting a stunning hole-in-one at the prestigious Emirates Golf Club. In the footage, Brett can be heard expressing his disbelief as they approach the hole to retrieve the ball, exclaiming, "I can’t believe this! Her first game of golf and she’s absolutely... what have you done?" To which Lana gleefully replies, "I got a hole in one!"
This incredible golfing feat marks a celebratory start to their life in the United Arab Emirates. Just prior to this joyful occasion, Brett had announced their relocation from Australia through an Instagram post featuring him against the backdrop of Dubai’s iconic skyline. He shared his reflections on their journey, stating, "What began as a few trips for work has grown into something much bigger... Dubai is now home."
Brett went on to elaborate on the positive aspects of their new life, mentioning, "New opportunities, great people, plenty of family time, and a lifestyle that’s pretty hard to beat. We’ve honestly loved every minute of it. The kids are thriving, the schools are fantastic, sport is everywhere, and it’s the people you meet along the way that really make it."
He expressed a deep sense of appreciation for his Australian roots, affirming, "We’ll always be proud to call Australia home, and I’m so grateful for the life we’ve built there. That will never change. But there’s just something about Dubai. The energy, the ambition, the way anything feels possible."
Despite their recent move, Brett and his family are already embracing their new environment enthusiastically. He added, "It’s only been a short time, but we’re really proud to call this place home for our next chapter. If you’ve ever thought about coming here, even just once, I promise you it won’t disappoint. Grateful for what’s been and excited for what’s ahead."
Brett’s golfing escapades have also led him to connect with notable figures in the sport, including a memorable moment with Northern Irish professional golfer Tom McKibbin, which he shared through a charming photo featuring himself and his son Preston alongside McKibbin.
Having concluded his cricket commentary duties with Fox Cricket and Kayo Sport during this summer's Ashes series, Brett made a significant impact, helping the network achieve record viewership numbers. With a career spanning 310 Test wickets, this transition marks not only a geographical change but also a new chapter filled with possibilities for the former athlete.
