Michael Clarke's girlfriend accidentally flashes side-boob on double date
Michael Clarke has stepped out with his girlfriend Arabella Sherborne on a romantic date – but photos show the 33-year-old suffered an unfortunate wardrobe mishap during the outing. The former captain of the Australian cricket squad and his younger girlfriend, who is 11 years his junior, were spotted at the exclusive Mimis restaurant in Coogee. While Clarke opted for a black long-sleeve jumper and matching shorts for the occasion, Ms Sherborne went for a sleeveless twill bodysuit with a plunging neckline. She paired the $1150 grey wool top with a pair of matching pants, which also cost $1150, as well as some dark sunnies and a black YSL handbag. Unfortunately, the weather didn't turn it on for the romantic excursion. As the loved-up pair snatched a kiss outside the popular beachside Merivale venue, Ms Sherborne's expensive outfit – made by Australian designer Christopher Esber – appeared to show off more than intended. Snaps show the top, which is cut in a V at the front that finishes at the navel, gaping in the wind – accidentally flashed a cheeky glimpse of side-boob. Judging from Clarke and Ms Sherborne's smiles, the wardrobe malfunction didn't deter their date – which took place with Sydney socialite Dina Broadhurst and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Winning Appliances heir, John Winning. The foursome were seen enjoying a long lunch together at the trendy beachside eatery, owned by restaurateur Justin Hemmes. Broadhurst opted for a grey miniskirt for the double date while Winning went for a casual look, wearing navy pants and a blue hoodie. The sighting comes after Broadhurst reportedly 'split' from her rumoured ex, 23-year-old model Kengi Meert. Clarke began dating Ms Sherborne, a leasing executive with Scentre Group, after his tumultuous relationship with Jade Yarbrough came to an end. Their romance first went public after being spotted on a holiday to the Gold Coast together in June last year. His prior relationship with Yarbrough was thrust into the spotlight in January 2023 when footage of the pair in a public spat went viral. The wild fracas that unfolded in Noosa on January 10 saw Clarke slapped across the face as he was accused of cheating. Yarbrough blasted Clarke about his alleged infidelities with his ex Pip Edwards on December 17, claims the skipper initially denied before appearing to later indicate it was true. The fight began when Clarke, Jade, Karl Stefanovic, Jasmine Yarbrough and their celebrity accountant mate Anthony Bell were at dinner at a beachside restaurant. It's understood Clarke's celebrity fashion designer ex-Edwards and Jade had been in contact, sparking the confrontation between Clarke and Jade. Edwards, who dated the former cricketer from mid-2020 to late-2021, released a statement condemning the 41-year-old's actions. It's not the first time the former cricket sensation's love life has played out in the public eye. Clarke and his former partner Lara Bingle were once the 'Posh and Becks' of Australia after their love affair blossomed in 2007. The two split in 2010, not long after a photo taken by AFL star Brendan Fevola showing the model in the shower was leaked. Bingle would later say that splitting from Clarke was 'the best thing' she ever did. Clarke found love again, marrying Kyly Boldy in the Blue Mountains in 2012.
