Rumours are swirled about their recent reconciliation.
And ‘exes’ Michael Clarke, 40, and Pip Edwards, 41, did little to quell the whispers on Saturday as they enjoyed a cosy tanning session aboard a speedboat on Sydney Harbour.
Unfortunately, the apparently romantic interlude went pear-shaped when Michael realised the speedboat had broken down.

Their ill-fated outing comes one day Pip firmly refused to answer questions about the pair’s romance during an interview with The Daily Telegraph.
The journalist who conducted the interview noted that Pip ‘wouldn’t be drawn on her relationship status’ – despite reports she and Michael, are back on following their split in January.
Pip, a prolific social media user herself, said: ‘In a fast-paced world that’s highly influenced by social media, the perception that success, glamour and lifestyle is what it’s all about actually breaks my heart.’
‘The want and need through the social landscape to chase this whirlwind success and fame is completely vacuous.’

This is not the first time the high-profile duo have sparked reconciliation rumours.
According to The Daily Telegraph, Pip and the Michael enjoyed a one-on-one meal together in Sydney in late March.
The publication reported that they were spotted ‘dining’ together by an onlooker at the Franca Brasserie in Potts Point on a Saturday night.
Longtime friends Pip and Michael started dating in late 2019, after the sportsman ended his marriage to his wife of seven years, Kyly Clarke (née Boldy).
Their romance didn’t become public knowledge, however, until after the Clarkes confirmed their separation in February last year.

Michael and Pip downplayed the rumours for months – with Pip even insisting they were ‘just friends’ – before finally going public in July while on holiday in Noosa.
However, they broke up just six months later, in January.
Neither Michael nor Pip has confirmed they are back on, but a source close to the pair said they were ‘close friends’.
