Michael Clarke and Kyly Clarke divorce: The clue everyone missed

It seems so obvious now!
  • 13 Feb 2020

Michael Clarke and his wife Kyly shocked fans when they announced their plans to divorce on Wednesday, however the cricketer dropped a major clue that all was not well in their marriage weeks ago.

While the couple's joint statement said they have been "living apart for some time", the first clue all was not well came seven days ago when the dad-of-one posted a picture of the view from his Bondi pad on Instagram.

"#bondibeach #life #lovethisplace," Michael captioned a photograph shared to his Instagram of himself standing alone on the roof terrace of his apartment, which overlooks Sydney's Bondi Beach.

The couple issued a joint statement on Wednesday night announcing the split.

"After living apart for some time, we have made the difficult decision to ­separate as a couple amicably," they said in a statement issued to The Australian's Media Diary.

"With the greatest of respect for each other, we’ve come to the ­mutual conclusion that this is the best course for us to take while committed to the co-parenting of our daughter."

It is believed that the couple split five months ago, with Michael moving out of their $12 million mansion in Vaucluse and into their $8million home on Bondi's beachfront.

The Merriest of Christmas's🎄 to you and your families today. May this whole holiday season be warm and full of love. May those who are affected by the bush fires have each other to hold, may your day be safe and I hope you have the chance to be with your loved ones. 🙌🏼🎅🤗🙏🏼 . . . . . . #Christmas #holidayseason #family #holidays #downtime

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.

“Dates with you,” she captioned an Instagram snap of her and Michael smiling into the camera. “NEVER STOP DATING."

The couple have split after seven years of marriage in what is set to be a $40m divorce.
