Pip Edwards enjoys Australian Open mens final at Rod Laver Arena
Pip Edwards has been spotted enjoying the Australian Open after putting the drama around Michael Clarke’s wild Noosa fracas to bed once and for all.
Pip Edwards has been spotted enjoying the Australian Open after putting the drama around her ex Michael Clarke’s wild Noosa fracas to bed once and for all.
The P.E Nation founder was photographed courtside at the men’s final on Sunday night, alongside friends, Melbourne model and presenter Ben Waddell, TV and radio presenter Lauren Phillips, and stylist Elliot Garnaut, as a guest of Marriott Bonvoy.
The 40-year-old cut a stylish figure in a black blazer dress and matching chunky boots.
It comes after Edwards, who also attended the Australian Open ladies final at Rod Laver Arena on Saturday night as a guest of Piper Heidsieck, firmly closed the door on Clarke’s carpark stoush and alleged cheating saga.
“It is definitely not my circus and I would like to say the carnival is over,” the mum-of-one told The Daily Telegraph on Saturday.
“The carnival is over and to be honest the focus for me is on the global expansion of P.E Nation. The carnival is done.”
The activewear brand, which Edwards created in 2015 with co-founder Claire Tregoning, is set to grow its influence internationally in the coming months.
“We have just opened an office in LA and we have a big push in the UK,” she told The Daily Telegraph.
Of the label, which has gone from strength-to-strength in the last eight years, Edwards said it combined her love of fitness and fashion.
“I am a time poor mum that juggles a lot and I wanted to wear something that got me from A to Z during the day, that is functional and fashionable,” she added.
“It was a solution to my lifestyle and clearly it resonated with other women.”
Edwards was dragged into the backwash of Clarke’s argument on January 10 with Jade Yarbrough, when the latter accused the former Australian cricket captain of “f***ing” Edwards “on December 17”.
“You f***ed her, you’re a f***ing dog,” Yarbrough was filmed screaming at Clarke, slapping him in the face during the emotionally-charged blow-up, recorded by a bystander and obtained by The Daily Telegraph.
Clarke responds: “Baby you’re wrong, you’re wrong.”
It’s understood Edwards and Yarbrough had been in contact, sparking the confrontation between her and Clarke.
In her initial statement regarding the video, Edwards did not deny Yarbrough’s claims – instead taking a swipe at her 41-year-old ex, Clarke, who she dated between mid-2020 and late-2021, and saying she was unaware of the “debacle” in Noosa.
“This is not my circus. Yet again, Michael in his true nature has not taken responsibility for his actions and I was blatantly lied to,” she said.
Clarke, meanwhile, told The Daily Telegraph he was “absolutely gutted”.
“I accept full responsibility for this altercation and am shattered by my actions.”
Police confirmed last weekend that both Clarke and Yarbrough had been fined for creating a public nuisance and have now closed their case.
“Queensland Police have issued a 30-year-old Queensland woman and 41-year-old New South Wales man with Public Nuisance Infringement Notices, following an alleged incident between the pair depicted in footage at Lions Park on Gympie Terrace in Noosaville earlier this month,” Queensland Police told news.com.au.
“No other offences were detected during the investigation.
“There is no further information available and the investigation has been finalised.”
