Michael Clarke feels ‘extremely lucky’ to still be friends with estranged wife Kyly despite their $40million divorce – as he moves on with Pip Edwards

He may be in the midst of a high-profile divorce worth a rumoured $40million, but Michael Clarke is still counting his blessings.

The retired Australian cricket captain, 39, revealed on Friday that he was ‘extremely lucky’ to still be good friends with his estranged wife, Kyly.

Michael, who shares four-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee with his ex, told The Kyle and Jackie O Show that his friendship with the former model, 38, ‘is as strong as it’s ever been’ despite their separation.

The former sportsman, who is now dating fashion designer Pip Edwards, said he was still on good terms with Kyly as they continue to co-parent Kelsey Lee.

‘I think I’m extremely lucky to have been able to go through a separation with the mother of my child and us still be great friends,’ he said.

‘I actually think Kyly and my friendship now is as strong as it’s ever been. We still talk daily and I think you’ve heard Kyly say as well both of us will always prioritise our daughter and a big part of that is a friendship between mum and dad.’

More to come.
