Michael Clarke enjoys playtime with his daughter Kelsey Lee

Michael Clarke was a picture of a doting dad on Monday. 

The former cricketer, 40, enjoyed playtime with his daughter, Kelsey Lee, five, sharing some images of the sweet moments on Instagram Stories. 

In one black and white photo, Kelsey Lee played with dolls in a bathtub, and Michael captioned the cute photo: ‘I see you!’ 

In another picture, the father and daughter sat down to read some storybooks together. 

It comes after rumours are swirled that Michael’s ex-wife Kyly Clarke had considered joining military-style show, SAS Australia, together. 

According to New Idea, the retired Australian cricket captain and his estranged wife, 39, were approached by producers but pulled out because the money offered wasn’t ‘good enough’.

‘They likely weren’t offered enough money and coming off Dancing with the Stars, Kyly wouldn’t have been up to it,’ a source said.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Monday, Kyly’s representative confirmed she had been offered an opportunity to appear on the Channel Seven show. 

‘Kyly was offered a chance to appear on the show and we declined last year.’

Michael and Kyly, who shared daughter Kelsey Lee, have remained on good terms since announcing their split in February 2020 after seven years of marriage. 

The cricketing star was recently rumoured to have reconciled with his ex-girlfriend,  Pip Edwards, 41, after being spotted together on multiple occasions. 

Long-time friends Pip and Michael started dating in late 2019. However, they broke up just six months later, in January.

Neither Michael nor Pip has confirmed they are back on, but a source close to the pair said they were ‘close friends’.
