Shane Warne looks happy amid link with Amy-Lee Dixon

His flirtatious friendship with 26-year-old Amy-Lee Dixon was exposed yesterday after Daily Mail Australia confirmed the model had called it quits with  Nick Furphy.

And cricket legend Shane Warne, 48, was looking happier than ever on Wednesday as he spent quality family time with his son Jackson, 18, watching the tennis in Melbourne.

But the mood wasn’t so bright for former Married At First Sight star Nick, who appeared to be suitably downcast as he  commiserated with friends following the heartbreaking split.

The contrast of emotions between the two men was stark, with the blond ex-sportsman expressing animated joy as he sat in the stands at Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena. 

Sitting alongside Jackson and his son’s girlfriend, Anna Daly, the spin bowler seemed highly invested in the Tie Break Tens match as he conversed with the teenager and pointed towards the action.

While Shane appeared to be in good spirits during the evening, the young couple sported more subdued facial expressions.

Elsewhere in Melbourne, however, was reality TV personality Nick who looked forlorn as he nursed a broken heart on a boys’ night out.

Accompanied his friend James, Nick was dressed casually in a T-shirt and distressed jeans as the duo hit the town.

After previously confirming to Daily Mail Australia he and Amy-Lee were over, Nick was snapped at several points rubbing his eyes.

Nick’s gloomy expression did not alter much as the men reached the pub and ordered several beers.

Dressed in a black T-shirt, James appeared to offer his support to his crestfallen friend, resting his hand on Nick’s shoulder.

The former dating show contestant seemed to appreciate the morale boost as he lifted his beverage to in a ‘cheers’ motion.

Also out and about in Victoria’s capital city on Wednesday night was the woman at the centre, former Miss World pageant contestant Amy-Lee.

Taking to her Instagram Story, the stunner shared a photo and footage of herself at Crown with her mother as they had dinner at the lavish casino complex.

‘Most people try to get away from their family… we fly across Australia to have dinner #love #family #shesmyrock,’ Amy-Lee captioned a selfie of the pair.

On Wednesday, Daily Mail first reported  former Test cricketer and notorious ladies’ man Shane appeared to have set his sights on the much younger Amy-Lee.

Daily Mail Australia also exclusively revealed Amy has split from her boyfriend, Married At First Sight star Nick Furphy, 30, after just four months together.

And it seems Shane has wasted no time swooping in on the newly-single Miss World Australia hopeful.

‘Amy and I have unfortunately gone our separate ways,’ a devastated Nick confirmed in a statement on Wednesday. 

And as the Melbourne construction worker attempts to mend his broken heart, his ex-girlfriend has caught the eye of notorious playboy Shane.

And despite her sudden split from Nick, Amy does not appear to be down in the doldrums.

The leggy brunette has instead been repeatedly ‘liking’ Shane’s comments, and sharing several messages of her own under his photos.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Shane and Amy for comment.

In a rather awkward twist, the trio were actually pictured together at a charity poker event in Melbourne in November last year.

It’s believed that is where Shane and Amy first met.

At the time, Nick and Amy – who began dating after his split from TV ‘wife’ Sharon Marsh – had been in a committed relationship for two months.

This is not the first time Shane has set his sights on a beautiful woman via Instagram.

In 2016, the former sportsman made headlines when he commented below Emily Ratajkowski’s glamorous selfie: ‘Stunning day in London!!! Enjoy. X.’

He also reportedly pursued ex-Bachelor star Kirralee ‘Kiki’ Morris, with Woman’s Day claiming he was ‘persistent in sending messages’ to the busty model.

Oh, dear! It's not the first time Shane has set his sights on a beautiful woman via Instagram. In 2016, the ladies' man made headlines when he commented on Emily Ratajkowski's busty photo

However, insiders claimed Kiki wasn’t interested.

‘She’s smarter than she looks and realises being caught up with Shane has been rather damaging for some females in the past,’ a source previously said.

Kiki told the Daily Mail Australia at the time: ‘(We’re) friends yes, flirty no. He’s a respectful person.’

Kiki continued: ‘Socially, I don’t see him out. It’s more like social media – he may drop me a line and say, “Looking good” or “Congratulations on this”, but that’s as far as it goes.’

Shane also allegedly tried his luck with 2015 Bachelor contestant Zilda Williams.

In 2016, he was reportedly caught sending desperate texts to socialite Brynne Edelsten after a star-studded event in Melbourne.

It was claimed at the time that Shane had organised with the 33-year-old to venture back to her apartment for a ‘night cap’.

Also that year, Shane was splashed across British tabloids for allegedly sending Coronation Street actor Oliver Mellor’s fiancée, Rhian Sugden, suggestive messages over Twitter.

Soon after, he moved onto the newly-single 90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord.

He tweeted at the American actress: ‘Hope all good our way and you’re behaving this weekend hahaha… See you soon!’

Remarkably, Shane actually received a response. AnnaLynne replied, ‘Behaving? Me? Hardly! See you soon,’ followed by a flirty emoji.

In May 2015, when porn star Jenna Jameson started following Shane on Twitter, he eagerly tweeted her: ‘Thanks for the follow! I’m a fan, hope all cool your way.’

Shane has been single since September 2014, after he split with model Emily Scott.

His most high-profile relationship was with Elizabeth Hurley, who he proposed to in 2011 after just eight months of dating. The couple split in 2013.

He was previously married to former model Simone Callahan for 10 years.
