Newly single Michael Clarke enjoys some bonding time with his daughter Kelsey Lee following his split from activewear mogul Pip Edwards

Former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke has been keeping busy since his split from P.E Nation founder Pip Edwards last month.

And on Tuesday, the retired sportsman enjoyed some quality time with his five-year-old daughter, Kelsey Lee, from his previous marriage to Kyly Clarke.

Michael, 39, shared a sweet photo to Instagram of himself planting a kiss on Kelsey Lee’s head as she smiled for the camera.

‘Let’s just sit for a while,’ he captioned the picture.

On the same day, Michael shared a series of pictures on Instagram Stories as he went to the beach with his little girl. 

In one photo, Kelsey held on to a railing as she looked out towards the ocean.

A second image showed Michael’s daughter smiling on the steps of a lighthouse.

Michael’s afternoon with his family comes after his split from activewear mogul Pip Edwards.

It’s understood they split a few weeks ago, less than a year after they went public with their romance.

While they were inseparable for much of their relationship, neither has featured on the other’s Instagram since Australia Day.

When contacted about their split at the time, Pip, 41, told Daily Mail Australia: ‘I have no comment, no comment at all.’ 

A source close to the pair insisted their break-up was ‘amicable’.

But another claimed ‘things had been rather rocky’ towards the end of their fling.

Pip and Michael are believed to have started dating shortly after the cricketer split from his wife of seven years, Kyly Clarke, in September 2019.

Michael and Kyly, 39, went on to announce their separation in February last year.
