From Lara Bingle to Jade Yarbrough: Michael Clarke's very public relationships.

This week, a video reportedly showing an altercation between former Aussie cricketer Michael Clarke and Today Show host Karl Stefanovic was published.

In the video, obtained by The Daily Telegraph, Clarke is seen out with Stefanovic and their partners, sisters Jade and Jasmine Yarbrough, in a Noosa park on January 10.

An argument between Clarke and Jade appears to have broken out after she said she had been in contact with Clarke's ex, PE Nation designer Pip Edwards.

“I’ve apologised enough”: Michael Clarke did things his way.

Clarke’s love life has been a persistent sub-plot of his time in the public eye. From his turbulent engagement to Lara Bingle, to his eight-year marriage to interior designer and television presenter, Kyly Clarke.

Let’s take a look at his past relationships:

Lara Bingle

Michael Clarke and Lara Bingle became engaged in March 2008.

It was a tabloid dream. Australia’s star cricketer with Australia’s ‘it girl’ model.

In early March 2010, Bingle was forced to launch legal action against married footballer, Brendan Fevola, after an intimate image he'd taken of her in the shower during their brief 2006 affair was published by a tabloid magazine. She was just 19 in the photograph.

After Bingle gave an interview to Woman's Day about the scandal, Clarke flew home from a tour of New Zealand, sparking rumours their relationship was crumbling. On March 12, he publicly confirmed their engagement was off.

Amid the breakup emerged those now-infamous rumours that Clarke had flushed Bingle's diamond engagement ring (worth an estimated $200,000) down the toilet.

In April 2020, on his Sky radio show, Big Sports Breakfast, the 115-test veteran once again rubbished the reports.

"There was media parked out the front of my Bondi apartment for probably two weeks and there was a plumbing truck out the front of the apartment," he said. 

"Just because there was a plumbing truck people just assumed, because we busted up, let's go with this story: 'The plumber's come to get Lara's ring out of the toilet.' Absolute made-up rubbish."

Clarke has spoken about the toll that lingering swarm of paparazzi took on him, during what was an already difficult time.

"That was heavy. That was cameras 24/7," he told 60 Minutes in 2016. "That wasn’t my dream, I didn’t know that came with playing cricket for Australia."

Bingle went on to marry Australian actor Sam Worthington, with whom she has two young children.

Kyly Boldy

Clarke and Kyly Boldy had known of each other for years before they got together. 

They both attended Westfield Sports High School in Sydney's west before their careers took them in different directions.

In 2007, before he started dating Lara Bingle, Clarke spotted his former schoolmate at a bar in Cronulla.

"We reconnected over a drink, and as we left, I sent my best mate Steve Phillips to ask for her number," he wrote in his 2016 autobiography, Michael Clarke: My Story.

"She declined, saying I could come and ask myself. Now I was so embarrassed, I decided to leave it to chance, hoping we would bump into each other at another stage."

His gamble worked.

The interior designer was single when his relationship with Bingle ended in 2010, and she reached out to him on Twitter while he was on tour in the West Indies later that year. They started dating a short time later.

Clarke and Boldy married at the luxury Wolgan Valley Resort the NSW Blue Mountains on May 15, 2012.

Boldy was by Clarke's side through a number of difficult moments in his life; the death of his friend, fellow cricketer Phillip Hughes, who was fatally struck by a ball in 2014, and his emotional decision to retire from international cricket a year later.

But joy followed that year with the birth of their daughter, Kelsey Lee.

Media speculation about a breakup surfaced in late 2019, but were squashed by Boldy as recently as January: "We’re not, never were and never will be splitting," she told The Daily Mail.

The following month the pair announced their divorce.

"After living apart for some time, we have made the difficult decision to ­separate as a couple, amicably," they said in a statement.

"With the greatest of respect for each other, we’ve come to the ­mutual conclusion that this is the best course for us to take while committed to the co-parenting of our daughter."

They have spoken little more of the split since.

Pip Edwards

Following his separation from Boldy, the former Australian cricket captain started dating fashion designer and PE Nation co-founder, Pip Edwards.

Edwards and Clarke had been friends for 12 years before it became romantic shortly after the athlete confirmed his divorce. 

Photos of the pair were captured by paparazzi a number of times going for walks in Sydney's eastern suburbs, before they posted photos on Instagram together, confirming their relationship.

In December 2020, the couple held a party to celebrate Clarke being appointed an officer in the general division of the Order of Australia, as part of the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.

They also holidayed with their respective children - Clarke's daughter, Kelsey-Lee, and Edwards' son, Justice, with whom she shares with fellow fashion designer Dan Single.

However, their relationship ended in late 2021.

Reacting to the recent 'altercation' between her ex and Karl Stefanovic, the fashion designer released a statement blaming Clarke for the public fracas, which she was unexpectedly dragged into.

"This is not my circus," Edwards said in a statement to the Daily Mail. 

"Yet again, Michael in his true nature has not taken responsibility for his actions and I was blatantly lied to."

Jade Yarbrough

Clarke has been in a relationship with interior designer and stylist, Jade Yarbrough, since mid-2022.

The couple made their relationship 'Instagram official' in August 2022, and went on their first public outing together to the Louis Vuitton SEE LV exhibition opening in November.
