Michael Clarke has been spotted out and about for the first time since his split with fashion designer Pip Edwards.
The former cricketer was every bit the doting dad as he stepped out with daughter Kelsey Lee for some grocery shopping in Sydney on Saturday.
The 39-year-old was completely focused on Kelsey Lee and didn’t let her out of his sight the entire time.

The former couple had been inseparable for much of their romance, but neither has featured on the other’s Instagram since Australia Day.
When contacted about their split on Friday, Pip told Daily Mail Australia: ‘I have no comment, no comment at all.’
Sources close to the pair said while they have gone separate ways, they remain good friends and the split is ‘amicable’.
Another said that despite the couple’s propensity for loved-up Instagram posts, over recent times: ‘Things had been rather rocky’.

On the weekend meanwhile, a pal told The Daily Telegraph that they will no doubt remain friends despite their split.
‘They were great friends and had a great time together, and I’m sure they will remain friends,’ a ‘friend’ told the Daily Telegraph on Saturday.
The couple’s relationship began last June following the former Australian Test captain’s split from wife Kyly.

Michael and Kyly had reportedly separated in September 2019, but kept their split quiet until officially confirming the news in February 2020.
Both Edwards and Clarke came to the relationship with children from previous partners.
Michael and ex-wife Kyle share five-year-old daughter, Kelsey Lee in 2017 and Pip has a 13-year-old son Justice from her previous relationship with fellow top fashion designer, Dan Single.
