In a chat with Hindustan Times, Yuvraj revealed the story behind how it struck to him, that their child should be named 'Orion'.
"Orion is a star constellation and for parents, your kid is your star. When Hazel was pregnant, and sleeping in the hospital, I was watching some episodes where the name came to me and Hazel took an instant liking to it. I wanted Hazel’s last name also to come in the baby’s name, so that’s how it came about," said Yuvi.
Meanwhile, his wife Hazel Keech penned a special note for hubby Yuvraj on his first Father's Day, since becoming a proud daddy. She shared an adorable picture of Orion lying on his father's chest, along with a heartwarming caption.
"Happy first Fathers Day to you @yuvisofficial You've dreamt of this day since before we even met, now here you are, a burping, bottle feeding, nappy-changing, rocking-baby-to-sleep Papa with all the sleep deprivation and vomit that comes along with the giggles, smiles and joy."
