Nathan Lyon’s ex Mel Waring is no shrinking violet.
Amid reports by an Australian publication that the cricketer’s new girlfriend, Emma McCarthy, is “the cat that got the cream” as she enjoys her new lavish lifestyle gallivanting around Europe, 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 the 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, while Mel stays at home and takes care of their two daughters.
