Okay so earlier today I was just scrolling cricket clips, right? Pat Cummins popped up again, you know, the Australian captain. And for some weird reason, I suddenly wondered about his wife. What’s her name? Becky Boston? And then it hit me – how old is she actually? Seemed simple enough. So yeah, decided to go find out. Like a quick little fact-check mission.
Started totally simple. Opened my browser, typed straight into Google: “Pat Cummins wife age”. Hit enter, feeling kinda confident. But man, those first results? Absolute rubbish. Gossip pages mostly, vague articles about the wedding in 2022, loads of ads. Nothing solid. Not a single number jumping out. Felt like walking into a room full of people shouting about nothing specific.
Skeptical now. Tried switching it up: “Becky Boston age”, “Pat Cummins wife Becky Boston age”. Still garbage. Info overload with zero actual info. Saw some weird stuff about another “Becky Boston” entirely. Almost clicked on some dodgy celeb site but caught myself. Nope. Not worth it.
Alright, different tack. I know Pat played for Kolkata Knight Riders. Maybe some cricket fan forums talk about personal lives? Headed over to a couple I know. Dug through threads. Found one discussing his marriage timeline. Someone mentioned Becky was “around his age”. Okay… progress? Sort of? But still maddeningly vague. Pat Cummins was born in 1993. So, early 30s? But is Becky older? Younger? Literally the same? The forum guess just wasn’t cutting it.
Started to feel this was ridiculous. How hard could finding one number be? Remembered Becky Boston worked in fashion, had her own stuff online. Maybe her professional bio? Went searching. Found her business page. Scrolled down hoping for a “About” section… nothing. LinkedIn profile? Looked briefly, but nah, no personal details like age listed. Dead end again. Was about to give up honestly.
Then, pure luck. Saw a post mentioning Becky Boston… but wait. The article clearly mentioned another woman called Becky Boston – a totally different person – involved in some legal thing years back. Ah-ha! That explains some of the junk results! Different person, same name confusion. Finally figured out the key: Pat’s wife is Becky Boston Cummins. The “Cummins” part was crucial. Why didn’t I think of that first? Dumb.
Back to Google: “Becky Boston Cummins age”. Boom. Much better. A couple of reputable sports news sites, actually mentioning her age in articles about their relationship or wedding. Scrolled quick. Found it: she was born in 1993. Just like Pat. So she’s also 31. Why the hell did that take so long?
Here’s the practice takeaway for real:
- Name matters big time. “Pat Cummins wife Becky Boston” gets lost in noise. “Becky Boston Cummins” cuts through it. Specificity is everything.
- Forums are fun but unreliable. Got a vague hint, wasted time hoping for more detail that wasn’t there.
- Celeb gossip sites are trash. Pure clickbait chaos. Never bothering with them again for facts.
- Wildcard names are a nightmare. Finding out there’s another Becky Boston explained the junk results completely.
- Trust primary sources. Actual sports news sites mentioning her age in context? That’s where the truth hid.
Lesson Learned: Chill? More Like Be Smarter
Thought this would be a two-second Google. Turned into a wild goose chase because I didn’t nail the most basic thing: using her full, correct name with his surname. Learned the hard way that the internet throws tons of crap at you for half-baked searches. Next time? Starting specific from the jump. Save the frustration. And seriously, screw celebrity gossip sites forever.
