Love don’t live here any more – not in Noosa anyway.
It seems after one of the biggest relationship bust ups in recent Confidential history, Michael Clarke and Jade Yarbrough have moved on after their Queensland fracas.
This column can reveal former Australian Cricket Captain Clarke has been spending time with none other than eastern suburbs socialite Rique Miroshnik, the ex wife of well known plastic and cosmetic surgeon, Dr Michael Miroshnik.
Interior designer Yarbrough, meanwhile, has been seen with Aussie Hollywood star, Travis Fimmel, of Vikings fame.
Yarbrough and Fimmel were spotted enjoying a meal with her family and friends at Noosa’s La Vida restaurant, on the Hastings Street strip, just over a week ago.
It was Yarbrough’s 31st birthday dinner, with sister Jasmine and Jasmine’s husband, Karl Stefanovic, in attendance, as well as her parents.
Fimmel lives in Queensland when not overseas for work. The model/actor is most famous for playing Ragnar Lothbrok in Vikings, and has also appeared in films including Warcraft, The Experiment and Finding Steve McQueen, and hit TV shows Raised By Wolves and That Dirty Black Bag.
Clarke, 42, coincidentally was on holidays separately with his young daughter, Kelsey Lee, in Noosa at the time.
This week though, he is understood to have been hunkered down at his Vaucluse mansion with former beauty queen, Miroshnik, who competed in Miss Universe Australia in 2010 at the age of 22.
Back then, she went by her maiden name, Sharman. Jesinta Franklin, then Jesinta Campbell, won that year and represented Australia internationally.
Clarke celebrated his recent birthday with a harbour party on board a luxury superyacht. Miroshnik was one of about 25 women on board, and the pair are understood to be keeping the budding relationship low-key. She has two children with her ex.
Clarke and Yarbrough broke up spectacularly earlier this year when footage emerged of the pair in a heated argument on the streets of the usually sleepy holiday township of Noosa.
At the time, Clarke was accused of cheating on Yarbrough with his ex-girlfriend, fashionista Pip Edwards.
An onlooker released expletive-ridden footage of the incident, where Clarke could be seen shirtless and limping in a park, surrounded by a group trying to calm the situation.
Stefanovic and his wife, Jasmine, were there and it is understood the alleged affair ended Clarke’s friendship with the Today host.
At the time, Clarke denied the claims in the footage, saying: “I’m absolutely gutted I’ve put people I hold in the highest regard in this position. My actions in the lead-up to this altercation were nothing short of shameful and regrettable. I am shattered that because of my actions I’ve drawn women of class and integrity, and my mates, into this situation. I own this fully and am the only one at fault.”
An observer also claimed to see Stefanovic and Clarke engage in a heated exchange on the night.
It was Stefanovic Who introduced Clarke and Yarbrough, who were regulars on the Sydney social scene before their break-up.
Queensland Police fined the pair $862, or $431 each, as they were issued Public Nuisance Infringement Notices for their parts in the wild row.
