Michael Clarke appears to be in good spirits as he steps out in Sydney following split

He recently split from his girlfriend, P.E Nation designer Pip Edwards, less than a year after the celebrity pair went public with their relationship.

But on Sunday, Michael Clarke appeared to be in good spirits as he enjoyed a stroll with a blonde in Sydney.

The former cricketer, 39, dressed in very casual attire for the morning walk.

He wore a navy T-shirt and shorts, which he teamed with a pair of comfortable white sneakers.

Michael also wore sunglasses for the outing and held his mobile phone in his hand as he walked alongside his female.

It appears as if it could have been the cricketer’s sister, Leanne Quinn, or simply a friend.

She was also dressed casually in black shorts, a matching coloured shirt and a pair of pink sneakers. 

The outing comes after Michael and his girlfriend Pip Edwards’ whirlwind romance came to an end.

The couple are understood to have split in recent weeks, less than a year after they went public with their relationship.

While they were inseparable for much of the relationship, neither has featured on the other’s Instagram since Australia Day – the same day the fashion designer landed herself in hot water for an unfortunate social media post. 

When contacted about their split at the time, Pip told Daily Mail Australia: ‘I have no comment, no comment at all.’

Sources close to the pair said while they have gone separate ways, they remain good friends and the split was ‘amicable’. 

Another said that despite the couple’s propensity for loved-up Instagram posts, over recent times ‘things had been rather rocky’.

Pip and Michael are believed to have started dating shortly after the former cricketer split from his wife of seven years, Kyly Clarke, in September 2019.

Michael and Kyly, 39, announced their split in February last year, around the same time Pip and Michael denied they were an item.
