The couple appear to be going from strength-to-strength as their weekend stay came after they returned from a holiday on the Coast Coast.

The pair were also seen cuddling up together during a breakfast date at the Gold Coat’s Langham Hotel earlier this month, the Daily Telegraph reported.
A source said they were joined by Michael’s daughter Kesley Lee, eight, who he shares with his ex-wife Kyly Clarke. Michael and Kyly went their separate ways in 2019 after seven years of marriage.
‘We were very surprised to see Michael Clarke and daughter with a new partner,’ the source said, while adding that the couple seemed ‘very relaxed’.
An insider said of their reported romance: ‘Arabella is a catch. She is super smart, works in the corporate world, and is a stunner.’
They added that things are already getting very serious between the pair and that wedding bells could soon be on the horizon.

‘She has had a few boyfriends but is really ready to settle down. Her and Michael are a good match, very cute together. Maybe she will be the next Mrs Clarke,’ they added.
Their new romance comes 18 months after Michael’s very public split with his ex-girlfriend Jade Yarbrough.
Michael and Jade had a very public bust-up in January 2023 in a Noosa park when she accused the former cricketer of sleeping with his ex-girlfriend Pip Edwards.
In the video, which was filmed by an onlooker, Jade accused the ex-Test captain of cheating on her with his former flame Pip in December 2022.

The dramatic footage showed a shirtless Michael being screamed at and slapped by his girlfriend while out for dinner at a beachside restaurant in Noosa. A remorseful Michael later took full responsibility for what happened.
‘I’m absolutely gutted I’ve put people I hold in the highest regard in this position. My actions in the lead-up to this altercation were nothing short of shameful and regrettable,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.
‘I am shattered that because of my actions I’ve drawn women of class and integrity, and my mates, into this situation.’
Despite the bust-up, the exes ‘remain on amicable terms,’ a representative previously told Daily Mail .
