Things on the home front are better than ever for the cricket great.
Shane Warne’s relationship with his sometime-wife Simone Callahan has raised eyebrows for years, but after plenty of public mistakes the cricket champion now insists he is a reformed family man.
The couple have reached an understanding about their complex but enduring two-decade partnership – with Shane, 41, insisting he will always love the woman he married in 1995.
“My family life is good,” Shane tells Woman’s Day. On the cusp of a new TV career as host of his own show, Warnie, the retired sports idol has made his partner his other priority.
“We’ll always love each other, we’ll always be best mates and who knows what the future holds for the both of us?” Shane has said in an interview with Melbourne’s Herald Sun newspaper.
“Simone is a wonderful person and together we try to be the best parents we can. She’s always been a great mother. She’s had to go through a lot, and I wasn’t the greatest husband, but I’ve always been a great dad.” Shane can’t remember the last time he hit the town with his mates, and life with the spin king couldn’t be sweeter for Simone, 40, and their children, Brooke 13, Jackson, 11, and Summer, 8.
