MICHAEL & KYLY'S SHOCK DIVORCE: WHY IT REALLY ENDED

After seven years of marriage, former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke and his wife Kyly have announced their divorce amid claims they’ve been living separately for months.

The couple issued a joint statement last week explaining they’d made the “difficult decision” but were separating “amicably”.

They added, “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.”

While Kyly remains living in the family home in Vaucluse with their 4-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee, Michael is based in the same seafront Bondi apartment he once shared with his former fiancée, Lara Worthington.

A close friend of the couple believes their marriage came under strain after Michael became increasingly focused on having a bigger family at a time when Kyly was attempting to build her career.

“Michael has always said he wanted a big family. He wants three kids at least. He is super close to his own sister but Kyly was not as keen,” says the friend. “He adores his daughter and would love nothing more than some more.”

Back in January 2018, Michael admitted he wanted lots of children.

“I’d like to have 10 more, I’d like a full cricket team,” he told the Daily Telegraph. “But I don’t think Kyly feels the same.”
