CODE Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cPlaying sport at a high level, you\u2019re open to having a platform, and sometimes with this comes interest from the public, and they want to know things about your personal life, and they invest, and then can make judgment either way of what you are or aren\u2019t doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite being Australian vice-captain, Gardner admits she did not think news of her affair would garner the level of interest it did.<\/p>\n

She described her thinking as \u201cnaive\u201d, and was caught by surprise when Monica took to social media to reveal the details of the cheating scandal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is who my wife cheated on me with,\u201d Monica wrote alongside a photo of Voll.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was certainly surprised, as you could imagine,\u201d Gardner added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI certainly didn\u2019t expect the situation to take the path that it did, or to become as public as what it did. But I also understand that everyone has their own way of dealing with difficult situations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess for me, the important thing (is) over this last period, I\u2019ve obviously had time to reflect on what\u2019s happened and making sure to have those conversations with the people that I\u2019ve needed to, whether that\u2019s internally and just focus on moving forward for the team. I think (that) is the most important thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can understand obviously (Monica\u2019s) perspective. So for me, it was trying to, I guess, stay positive in what was a pretty tricky time with this being so public and probably going further than maybe what I thought, so maybe that was me being a little bit naive.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I think just making sure that I was trying to find the good in the situation of I guess what I was doing at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
