Photographs of Michael Clarke leaving Pip Edwards’ house at 9am on a Wednesday morning might raise eyebrows, however the fashion designer says there’s absolutely nothing to it.
Edwards has strongly refuted rumours she is dating the former Australian cricket captain.
Just days after Clarke was photographed leaving her Bondi apartment, the PE Nation fashion co-founder has reiterated that she is not dating the sportsman and is instead simply providing a shoulder to cry on for the father-of-one.
“As per my last statement to press on my relationship with Michael Clarke, we have known each other for 12 years and have a current business association,” Edwards told Sunday Confidential exclusively.
“Michael and I over the past month have spent more personal time together, I have been supporting Michael through what has been a rough time with the public view on his divorce, and as I have been through this before, I understand what a stressful situation this can be when you are in the media storm of a break-up and feel you have no privacy.”
Clarke left Edwards’ luxury apartment block in his BMW just before 9am, while Edwards left moments later in her black Mercedes.
The catch-up comes after it was also revealed the pair are working on a project together for Edwards’ athleisure clothing range.
Rumours of a romance came to light just days after Clarke and his wife of eight years Kyly Clarke announced they were separating.
