"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."
According to reports, Clarke and Kyly parted ways 5 months ago with Clarke relocating to the pair's Bondi beachfront pad from their current home in Vaucluse.
Earlier, Kyly, a former modeal and TV presenter told The Daily Mail that their marraige was going strong and there were no chances of a seperation with Micheal Clarke.
The pair called for privacy so that they can "manage the next stage of their lives".
"We’d like to acknowledge the wonderful support we’ve had from family and friends, and at this time request privacy so that we can manage this next stage of our lives," they said in the statement.
Their is also a belief that the pair has thought of settling the divorce outside the court.
