Michael Clarke’s brand new relationship has already found itself at the centre of the rumour mill.

Images of the duo, obtained by The Daily Telegraph, quickly spread across the internet with the relationship coming after Clarke’s tumultuous relationship with Jade Yarbrough came to an end.

But in the days after their relationship came to light, salacious rumours have appeared which reveal how the pair got together.

After Clarke’s relationship with Yarbrough ended, the former cricketer reportedly dated several women from the same friendship circle.

The group of friends, as reported by the Daily Mail, is said to include Yarbrough, Jaclyn Sainsbury and Rique Miroshnik.

Clarke, according to the Daily Mail, is said to have moved through the group before he and Arabella became an item.

Clarke and Miroshnik were snapped out for lunch in April last year in the wake of the Noosa scandal.

The former Aussie skipper also dated Sydney socialite Sainsbury who is said to have been friends with Arabella.

It’s this new relationship that has reportedly busted up the friendship group with Arabella being left out in the cold.

“Jade is not friends with Arabella. None of the girls are (anymore). She has been blocked by them all on social media,” a source told the Daily Mail.

As the rumour mill went into overdrive as the relationship came to light, Clarke declined to answer any questions when approached over the bizarre situation.

Clarke’s love life has never been far from the spotlight with the 43-year-old garnering heavy attention in January 2023 when footage of a public spat with Yarbrough went viral.

The wild fracas that unfolded in Noosa on January 10 saw Clarke slapped across the face as he was accused of cheating.

Yarbrough blasted Clarke about his alleged infidelities with his ex Pip Edwards on December 17, claims the skipper initially denied before appearing to later indicate it was true.

The fight began when Clarke, Jade, Karl Stefanovic, Jasmine Yarbrough and their celebrity accountant mate Anthony Bell were at dinner at a beachside restaurant.

It’s understood Clarke’s celebrity fashion designer ex-Edwards and Jade had been in contact, sparking the confrontation between Clarke and Jade.

Edwards, who dated the former cricketer from mid-2020 to late-2021, released a statement condemning Clarke’s actions.

Clarke’s love life burst onto the main stage when he and former partner Lara Bingle were dubbed the ‘Posh and Becks’ of Australia after their love affair blossomed in 2007.

The two split in 2010, not long after a photo taken by AFL star Brendan Fevola showing the model in the shower was leaked.

Bingle would later say that splitting from Clarke was “the best thing” she ever did.

Clarke found love again, marrying Kyly Boldy in the Blue Mountains in 2012.

His new found relationship comes months after he was forced to address rumours he had gone under the knife after an image of him went viral.

The upload appeared to show Clarke looking like a whole different person during his trip to Pakistan for the Super League.

Unfounded rumours about Clarke undergoing cosmetic work were stoked online — but the cricketer knocked it on the head with a video shared on his Instagram stories.

“No lighting, no make up, no filter … just hard work,” Clarke captioned a video of him pumping iron in the gym.

“Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.”
