It is believed that they split FIVE months ago and Michael moved out of their $12 million manse in the eastern Sydney suburb of Vaucluse.

The cricketer is said to be now living at their $8million home on Bondi’s beachfront.

In November 2018, Michael was snapped looking cosy with his pretty blonde assistant Sasha Armstrong aboard Anthony Bell’s luxury yacht – but the former captain’s wife Kyly was nowhere to be seen.

Sasha has worked as Michael’s assistant for a number of years and she appeared very close and friendly with her boss while enjoying her time aboard the vessel.

But the pair denied they were anything romantic going on.

A few weeks later, Kyle took to social media to reveal the secret of their marriage.
