Shane Warne denies Liz Hurley split

Shane Warne insists he and Elizabeth Hurley haven’t split up. The Australian cricketer has confirmed the couple who have been engaged since 2011 are going through a difficult time, but denies speculation they have called time on their three-year relationship.

He wrote on Twitter this morning (18.09.13): ”Some of the reports re EH & me r absolute rubbish. Yes we’re sorting through some (private) issues. But we’re not throwing the towel in yet (sic)” Meanwhile, Liz side-stepped rumours of a rift between her and Shane, 44, telling her 400,000 Twitter followers the matter was ”too raw and personal” to discuss.

She wrote: ”Apologies to loyal followers for Twitter silence on recent events. Too raw & personal to share right now. (sic)” The 48-year-old beauty reportedly ended her romance with sportsman Shane because their conflicting work schedules put a strain on their relationship.

However, new reports suggest the ‘Gossip Girl’ star recently discovered her fiancé – who splits his time between England and his native Australia – has been getting close to his ex-wife Simone Callahan. A source said: ”Liz found out he had been over at Simone’s house a lot. She seemed to get the idea that something more than friendship was going on.”

Shane ended his 10-year marriage to Simone the mother of his three children, Brooke, 16, Jackson, 14, and 11-year-old Summer in 2010 and quickly began dating mother-of-one Liz, who has an 11-year-old son, Damian.
