Sydney, Dec 13: Australian spin bowler Shane Warne today confirmed he had split from his ex-wife, amid reports of an alleged "affair" with British actress Liz Hurley.
Warne and his former wife Simone Callahan, who have three children together, divorced some time ago but had rekindled their romance and shared a home together in his home town of Melbourne.
But after video and photographs of Warne and Hurley apparently kissing and cuddling together in London last week were published, the 41-year-old was forced to issue a statement on his relationship.
"Sadly and unfortunately, Simone and I split up a while ago, our close friends and family were informed at that time," Warne said in a statement on his website.
"It is a private matter so we did not make it public. We remain friends and will continue to be good parents. AFP
