Michael Begs Kyly Please Give Me A Second Chance

The cricket legend is pining for his old life after his shock split from Pip Edwards

When news broke of Michael Clarke and Pip Edwards’ split, fans were shocked by the move, especially since the high-profile couple appeared to have it all.

Their Instagram pages were littered with pictures from their perpetual sun-soaked beach outings, holidays, days cruising around Sydney Harbour on luxury yachts and lavish parties with well-heeled Bondi celebs.

However, all was not what it seemed. A source tells Woman’s Day that as the couple’s relationship fizzled, all Michael was left with was a desire to return to his old life with estranged wife Kylie. And now they’re both single again, he wants her back!

“Michael realised he made the biggest mistake of his life leaving Kyly and not giving it his best shot,” says our insider.

“He thought he wanted another life – a fast-lane rock star existence with luxury boats, multimillion-dollar digs, lavish holidays and indulging in all things extravagant – but really, he just wants to be a dad and a husband, and he hopes it’s not too late.”

The source adds that while Michael, 39, was having a ball in his first few months of dating the Bondi It Girl, their lifestyle of parties and social events was too much for him.

“He thought Pip had the sort of profile he wanted to be associated with, but Michael got tired of the lifestyle pretty quickly,” says the insider.
