Former Australian spinner Shane Warne is no stranger to controversies and seems to liken them as it keeps him in the spotlight.

Recently, he has been caught liking the Instagram photos of Kyly Clarke, ex-wife of former Australia captain Michael Clarke, a good friend of Warne. Kyly and Michael ended their seven-year marriage in February this year.

“After living apart for some time, we have made the difficult decision to separate as a couple, amicably. With the greatest of respect for each other, we've come to the mutual conclusion that this is the best course for us to take while committed to the co-parenting of our daughter,” the couple had said in a statement.

“Absolute Chaos,” Shane Warne recalls his affair with actress Elizabeth Hurley

Their looming divorce is said to be worth $40million. 

Three months later Shane Warne, who is understood to be close to Michael Clarke, raised a few eyebrows as he liked multiple posts of Kyly on her Instagram account. He is most likely friends with Kyly, too, and it can be assumed his social media activity is quite innocent. 

The Spin King also liked a picture of the House Rules judge flaunting her slender figure in a striped bikini. He seemed to appreciate a throwback photo of Kyly posing on a ballet barre, too.It's not the first time Shane has shared his appreciation for high-profile women by liking their photos on Instagram. In the past, he has been caught 'double-tapping' posts by Married At First Sight star Davina Rankin, actress Nicky Whelan and even his ex-fiancée Elizabeth Hurley.
