Drama in Sydney’s Elite Circles: Michael Clarke’s Romantic Entanglements
Finding out your best friend is dating your ex might sound like the start of a tacky rom-com, but for a group of Sydney’s most elite women, it’s no work of fiction. At the center of this tangled web is none other than Michael Clarke, the former captain of Australia’s cricket team.
Clarke, 43, recently made headlines when he went public with his new girlfriend, 32-year-old Arabella Sherborne. The couple has been spotted enjoying their time together on the Gold Coast, but their blossoming romance has stirred quite a bit of drama back in Sydney.

The Backstory
The heart of the issue lies in the fact that Clarke’s new relationship is with someone from the same tight-knit social circle as several of his previous flames. Among those feeling the sting are Clarke’s most recent ex, Jade Yarborough, socialite Jaclyn Sainsbury, and Rique Miroshnik, the ex-wife of renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Miroshnik.
Early reports suggested that Jade Yarborough, who is the sister-in-law of TV personality Karl Stefanovic, was ‘on good terms’ with Arabella. However, insiders reveal that this is far from the truth. According to sources, Michael had romanced several women in Jade’s social circle before settling down with Arabella, creating a rift among the group.
A Circle of Resentment
Arabella Sherborne, a real estate agent with Scentre Group, has apparently witnessed much of the relationship drama her friends experienced with Clarke, only to end up with him herself. This development has led to a fallout, with Jade and the other women cutting ties with Arabella on social media.
One source revealed, “Jade is not friends with Arabella. None of the girls are [anymore]. She has been blocked by them all on social media.” The last public interaction between Jade and Arabella was in March when Jade left a friendly comment on one of Arabella’s Instagram posts, a gesture that now seems like a relic of their former friendship.

Clarke’s Romantic History
Clarke’s history of high-profile relationships has often kept him in the public eye. In 2008, he proposed to model Lara Worthington (née Bingle), but their engagement ended in 2010 amid rumors of a dramatic breakup involving a diamond ring flushed down the toilet.
He then dated his long-time friend Kyly Boldy, whom he married in 2012. The couple announced their separation in February 2020 after nearly a decade together. Clarke’s next significant relationship was with Pip Edwards, the founder of the activewear brand P.E Nation. Their on-and-off romance lasted about a year.
Subsequently, Clarke dated interior designer Jade Yarborough. However, their relationship ended in turmoil after a publicized argument in Noosa, linked to Clarke’s alleged indiscretion with Pip Edwards. After Jade, Clarke briefly dated Rique Miroshnik before moving on with Arabella.
Who is Arabella Sherborne?
Arabella Sherborne has been with Scentre Group for over two years, having previously worked for the company in Brisbane before relocating to Sydney. Raised in Brisbane, she attended a local grammar school and later studied international hotel and tourist management at the University of Queensland.

Beyond her professional achievements, Arabella maintains a strong social media presence, showcasing her lavish lifestyle and high-flying career.
Michael Clarke’s latest romantic endeavor has certainly caused a stir within Sydney’s elite social circles. As he continues to enjoy his relationship with Arabella Sherborne, the fallout among his exes and their friends paints a vivid picture of love, loyalty, and betrayal in the city’s upper echelon. For now, Clarke remains tight-lipped about his personal life, wishing reporters “a wonderful day” when pressed for comments.
