Cricket star Michael Clarke<\/a> has broken his silence on his relationship with Arabella Sherborne, revealing the secret to making their relationship work.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Stellar Magazine<\/a>, \ufeffthe 44-year-old shared that the couple have an understanding that the most important part of their relationship isn’t either of them, but is in fact his 10-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee, whom he shares with Kyly Clarke<\/a>, his ex-wife of seven years.<\/p>\n

“My whole life is with Kelsey Lee. Arabella has known that from the start \u2013 but most importantly, she’s been extremely comfortable with that from the start,” he told the outlet of the unique approach.<\/p>\n

He describes his 33-year-old girlfriend, who is a former real-estate executive and now runs ByBelle Executive Concierge, which provides personal assistance and services for Clarke’s global brand, as having a “sisterly” bond with his daughter.<\/p>\n

Sherborne shared, “We sort of come up with all these words and lingo, and Michael’s head explodes because he doesn’t quite understand, nor does he understand how I know how the 10-year-olds talk.”<\/p>\n

Another grounding facet of their relationship \ufeffis their inherent friendship, with Clarke sharing, “It’s nice to be able to have both a partner and someone that you’re actually great mates with.”<\/p>\n

Sherborne agreed, “I think we got along in a way that neither of us probably expected, and it was just really easy.<\/p>\n

“That was the beauty of it all… it just sort of made sense from the beginning.”<\/p>\n

The couple met at the end of 2023 through mutual friends, and by June 2024, they were exchanging flirty comments on social media, confirming their relationship in a low-key way. They were also seen at restaurants at this time, walking hand-in-hand.<\/p>\n
