What happened between Shane Warne and Liz Hurley?

The couple, who were both previously married, split after three years together.

The cricketer claimed no one was to blame for the breakdown of the romance.

He said: "When we were together we both had a great time. Unfortunately it didn't work out.

'It wasn't something that she or I did wrong, it just fizzled out. 

"We're still great friends, we still stay in touch, we're good for each other and our kids get along great."

Warne told in 2015 that he "hit it off straightaway" with Liz, but it "t just didn’t pan out".

Despite many break-ups being blamed on schedules he said: “It wasn’t just scheduling. When we first met, she was basically not doing anything. She was a farmer.

"And I had retired from international cricket. But then Elizabeth went back to work, shooting movies and TV series. I was playing cricket and poker."

And Warne also had children to consider back in Australia.

He added: "So the reason we split up, it wasn’t just scheduling. It just shouldn’t be that hard.”

What did Warne say in response to Woman's Day magazine's article?

In August 2021, Australia, released an article suggesting that Warne was getting back with Hurley - even suggesting marriage.

The athlete took to Twitter to call out Woman's Day writing: “For 30 years my children & I have had to put up with your lies & fabricated stories – well not anymore.

“You should not be allowed to just make things up. You are going to apologize to the Aust public for your continual lies & my family as this is an absolute disgrace – AGAIN!";
