Michael Clarke and his ex Kyly Clarke were seen together for the first time since their shock split on Saturday.
The cricketer, 39, and the former WAG, 40, shared a brief exchange as they reunited with their five-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee in Sydney’s Vaucluse.
Michael embraced Kelsey Lee before she got into the car with Kyly, as they headed off after a day at the beach.

Kyly had enjoyed some solo quality time with their daughter on the beach and Michael, who was in the area, popped by afterwards to quickly say goodbye to Kelsey Lee before she and her mother left.
The former couple used to share a marital home in the upmarket Vaucluse.
They share custody of their daughter, and have always been on good terms since their split in February 2020 after seven years of marriage.

The exes were all smiles as they greeted each other in the summer sunshine, and appeared to share a joke as they exchanged pleasantries outside her vehicle.

He kept things casual for the occasion, dressing in a white T-shirt, a pair of green shorts and a backwards baseball cap.
Meanwhile, Kyly looked effortlessly chic in a pretty white top, cotton beach shorts and a knitted sun hat.
While she was on the beach, the former WAG opted for a stomach-flashing black bikini top, but popped on a slinky cotton number as she headed back home.

It appeared she and her daughter had enjoyed a fun-filled day out together, as Kyly was spotted holding a swimming float and a huge amount of bags no doubt filled with fun beach activities.
While Kyly is believed to be single following a short romance with James Courtney, Michael is happily in a relationship with P.E Nation creator Pip Edwards.
Despite their very public split last year, former high school sweethearts Michael and Kyly only appear to have good things to say about each other as they work together to co-parent their daughter.
In an interview with Now to Love last month, the former Australian cricket captain revealed that Kelsey was a good mix of both her parents.

‘She’s a terror like me,’ he laughed, before adding: ‘I think she’s got her mother’s features, certainly her mother’s kind-hearted personality.’
Michael went on to explain that Kelsey Lee enjoys spending quality time with her mother and father after their separation.
‘My little girl just wants time with both her mum and her dad, and that’s what we try and manage,’ he said.

‘I think when you’ve got a child involved [in a divorce], your kid always comes first. Everything else is second to that, so whatever your child needs you find a way to make it work,’ he added.
Speaking about co-parenting with his ex back in September, the former sportsman said that he and Kyly still have a ‘wonderful’ relationship.
‘I can sit here and say my daughter is the most important thing in my world. I’ve got a wonderful relationship and friendship with Kyly,’ he said.
Michael went public with Pip in July last year, following weeks of speculation.
