Karl warns Michael MY FAMILY COMES FIRST
The could-be brothers-in-law seem to be on different pages...
Karl Stefanovic and Michael Clarke have been firm friends for years, but the pair don’t appear to be seeing eye-to-eye when it comes to the nature of the relationship between
Michael and Karl’s sister-in-law Jade Yarbrough.
The former Aussie cricket captain, 41, and the interior designer sparked rumours they were dating when they were snapped looking cosy while holidaying together with Karl and his wife Jasmine in Europe in July. Jade later shared a picture on Instagram of Michael wrapping his arm around her as they strolled the streets of Italy together during the luxe trip.
Only adding to the buzz that Michael had become “quite fond” of the socialite, he was also pictured playing happy family with the 30-year-old and his daughter Kelsey Lee, six, who he shares with his ex-wife Kyly, near his home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs in August.
Later in the same month, Karl confirmed the pair’s romance, revealing the new couple were all over each other “just a little bit too much” when hanging out with him and Jade’s older sister Jasmine, 38.
“We were with them on the weekend and they’re just a lovely couple,” added the 48-year-old Today host.
But Michael told a different story in a recent interview, claiming he and Jade are just “friends”.
“I had two-and-a-half weeks away with some of my best friends [and] had such a great time,” he said.
Now, sources say Karl’s nervous about Michael trying to distance himself from Jade and fears he may end up breaking her heart. After all, where would that leave their friendship and his family?
Fans certainly don’t hold high hopes for the romance, with many worrying about Michael’s recent romances. Before getting close with Jade, Michael was reportedly dating fashion designer Pip Edwards before calling it quits in January.
