Kyly Clarke’s statement after Michael split from girlfriend Pip Edwards


Michael Clarke recently split from fashion designer Pip Edwards after a brief romance that began following his separation from wife Kyly last year.

And Kyly seemingly alluded to her estranged husband’s latest break-up in a cryptic post shared to Instagram on Thursday.

The interior designer and House Rules judge, 38, wrote a lengthy post about gratitude and prioritising family life.

She began: ‘How is your Thursday going? What decisions do you make constantly every day to keep evolving, growing, changing and developing into an even better version of yourself?

‘Do you give yourself time to embrace the day, be grateful for what life has given you, be thankful for the people around you and also a moment to pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for your achievements and how far you have come?

‘Maybe now is the time to do just that.’

She also encouraged her followers to ‘really get to know yourself, your family, your kids and the things that make you tick’ and to ‘invest your time in the elements [of] life that bring your soul peace’.

While the post was mainly about Kyly’s wellness philosophy, the quote about being ‘grateful for what life has given you’ may have been a subtle reference to Michael and their marriage breakdown.

It comes after Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed Michael and Pip’s split.

Rumours first emerged the pair were seeing each other in February, shortly after Michael announced his split from wife of seven years, Kyly.

The Clarkes ended their marriage in September, but didn’t announce their separation until five months later. They share custody of four-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee.

When news of a blossoming relationship surfaced, Michael and Pip both denied they were are anything more than friends.

They told Daily Mail Australia in February they had been friends for 12 years and were simply working on a project together.

Pip also insisted rumours of a romance were ‘absolutely unfounded and untrue’.

Michael’s personal assistant, Sasha Armstrong, also downplayed the whispers, which had been circulating across Sydney’s eastern suburbs for months.

‘Michael has known Pip for over a decade and is currently working with both Pip and Claire [Tregoning, co-founder of P.E Nation] on a special project,’ Sasha said at the time.

Michael and Pip have been spotted together on several occasions over the past two months, and were most recently seen taking a stroll in the harbourside suburb of Rose Bay on March 22.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Michael Clarke’s representative for comment.

A spokesperson for the activewear mogul said their previous statement stands that Pip and Michael are friends ‘and that is as far as their relationship goes’.

Earlier this week, Pip made headlines when she shared a racy photo to Instagram while in self-isolation inside her Bondi Beach home.

She coincidentally posted the image, which showed her in a white mini dress and fur-lined boots, just hours before Kyly made her debut as a judge on House Rules. 

‘If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen,’ she wrote in the caption.
