'You can always mention my female company' - Michael Clarke when asked about his relationship with Pip Edwards

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has been in the news frequently for his relationships after retiring from cricket. Earlier this year, he split with his wife Kyly Clarke and since then, his name is being linked with the fashion designer Pip Edwards. He was recently also spotted with her in an eatery where they were also seen getting close to each other. And now he has all but confirmed his relationship with Pip in a recent conversation.

Interestingly, both of them had earlier denied being anything more than friends. Rather in February, the couple had stressed that they are only friends from last 12 years and have been only working together for a project. But the rumour mills were active again after they were seen in an eatery together where they also met Pip’s 13-year-old son Justice.

Moreover, Pip was also seen resting her head on Michael Clarke’s shoulders as they were chatting with their friends during their visit to the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Sydney Morning Herald reported on Sunday that the former cricketer confirmed to them about his relationship rumours. The report also stated that the couple wanted to keep the affair ‘low key’ for the sake of their children. While Michael Clarke has a four-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee with Kyly, while Justice is Pip and designer Dan Single’s son.

As far as Clarke’s recent comments are concerned, responding a journalist on radio show Big Sports Breakfast, he asked him the reason for not mentioning about his female partner in his reporting. “You know what? I did the right thing by him, I didn’t mention your female company at the table,” the journalist said.

To this, the 39-year-old replied, “Why not? Listen buddy, you can always mention my female company. How dare you leave that out.” To add to this, Pip Edwards’ recent Instagram post has also attracted the fans’ attention. She had captioned one of her pictures as, “Me in my boyfriend(’s) blazer.”

The Boyfriend Blazer is a popular fashion item among women but the (‘s) hasn’t gone unnoticed and it seems both Clarke and Pip are in no denial about their relationship anymore.
