Nathan Lyon and his new girlfriend Emma McCarthy love nothing more than to boast non-stop about their lavish trips around the world as she takes up the role as full-time WAG to support him in his Australian cricket career.
Meanwhile, it leaves his ex Mel Waring at home in Sydney to take care of their two daughters full-time.

However, Mel doesn’t want your sympathy … even with a torn ACL.
Following images of Emma trying on wedding dresses, Mel took to Instagram with a picture of her on crutches and the following message.
“To all the lovely, boring articles out about my now very old relationship amazingly I have better things to care about and I am happy to report that I’m far from gutted,” she wrote.
“In fact, even with a torn ACL, I have never been happier.
“Let’s not believe everything we read. It’s time to MOVE ON.”
An Australian publication reported earlier this week that Emma, is “the cat that got the cream” as she enjoys her new lavish lifestyle gallivanting around Europe, but Mel took to her Instagram to set the record straight.
Posting an adorable picture with her two look alike daughters, Harper and Milla, Mel wrote that she is actually the one who is most content with her life.
“The cat that got the cream looks like this,” Mel said.
She added the hashtags: “couldn’t ask for more,” “even if I am on crutches,” “most important people,” and “little loves”.
Meanwhile, it has also been reported that he Australian Cricket WAG community remains divided on the topic of Nathan‘s relationship with real estate agent Emma.
According to the Daily Mail, their 2017 affair – which ended his 10-year relationship with Mel – has “split the WAGS in two.”
“I don’t think it’s surprising that after spending 10 years with Nathan, Mel built some very strong friendships with some of the other WAGs, who still support and love her,” said a source.
“I know they still find it hard to stomach Emma.”
In particular, it appears that there is animosity between Emma and Steve Smith’s wife Dani Willis, as Dani’s loyalty to Nathan’s ex-partner has prevented her from accepting his new relationship.
“Dani knows how bitter the split is and how devastated Mel was when she found out about [Nathan’s] affair, so she doesn’t have any time for Emma,” a source revealed.
At the time of their breakup, the mother-of-two wrote to her blog Life of Lyons.
“I wasn’t sure what being really alone would feel like, being shut out from him,” Mel shared in a candid post.
“Since saying goodbye it hadn’t really hit me. We have lived a life where he has constantly travelled, cricket was life and touring was a given. Daddy’s at cricket, it’s easy to forget.
“Today has been different, I have been strong, I have been brave but today I feel weak, I feel small and I feel alone.
“I’m constantly reminded that the team of people who were once there for us both are no longer my friends but my enemy,” the mum went on.
According to the Daily Mail, friends of Nathan have said that he is “very much in love” with his new girlfriend.
Nathan and Emma have recently flaunted several romantic getaways to Australia, Greece, France and South Africa.
