In November, Michael made headlines when he and his bikini-clad assistant, Sasha Armstrong, were spotted on Sydney Harbour aboard Anthony Bell’s superyacht, Ghost.

The pair enjoyed swimming in the ocean and engaged in a long conversation as they relaxed in the sun.   

A ‘source’ reportedly told Woman’s Day in November, that Kyly was ‘furious’ after seeing photos of her husband Michael on a luxury yacht with his blonde assistant.

‘Of course she’s annoyed by the images. What woman wouldn’t be?’ a cricket ‘insider’ told the magazine at the time.

The insider added: ‘They have a very unorthodox relationship for a business situation.’

Kyly was not present during the pair’s day out on the expensive boat. 

Sasha first began working for Michael in April 2014 as his executive assistant.

Despite still holding this title, she was also appointed to the executive director of Michael Clarke Pty Ltd in January 2017, according to her LinkedIn page.

Away from work, Sasha’s Instagram suggests she enjoys an active lifestyle and purchased a house with long-term partner Tyler in September 2017.

Kyly and Michael tied the knot in 2012 and welcomed their daughter Kelsey-Lee in November 2015.
