‘So much love in one hug’: Kyly Clarke cuddles daughter Kelsey Lee on an ice cream outing… after revealing the four-year-old is ‘100%’ her ‘priority’ following split from husband Michael
She announced her shock split from husband Michael Clarke on February 12, after seven years of marriage.
And on Friday, Kyly Clarke (née Boldy) doted on the former couple’s adorable four-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee.
The 38-year-old House Rules judge shared a sweet photo to Instagram of the pair cuddling up together while enjoying ice cream at a Sydney cafe.

In the picture, Kyly wrapped one arm around Kelsey Lee, and planted a kiss on her cheek.
The proud mother cut a stylish figure in a pink sweater, and her beauty look included expertly curled brunette tresses, a flawless visage and false lashes.
Little Kelsey Lee looked cute as a button as she smiled at the camera, no doubt wanting to tuck back into her gourmet ice cream cup.

‘Friday, so much love in just one hug,’ Kyly wrote in the caption. ‘Wish I knew ANITA (ice cream shop) was this good, we would have started a long time ago.
‘Kelsey Lee loves Kinder, I love White Chocolate Hazelnut & Cookie Man. Whats your fav? (sic).’
In her first major interview since splitting from husband Michael, Kyly told The Daily Telegraph’s Stellar magazine in March that Kelsey Lee is ‘100 per cent’ her ‘priority’.

Having already commenced filming for her role as judge on House Rules at the time, Kyly said the schedule has allowed her to make motherhood top priority.
She explained: ‘And, I guess, why that’s so important to me is that Kelsey Lee is 100 per cent my priority.
‘She’s this beautiful human being that I love being super-adventurous with. I will exhaust myself to give her everything I can.’

The Clarkes, who were high-school sweethearts, have said the ‘amicable’ decision to separate was ‘the best course’ for Kelsey Lee.
Michael and Kyly have reportedly already agreed terms on their divorce – as well as arrangements to co-parent their daughter – without going through the courts.
