Soaking up the sunshine in Sydney, cricketer Michael Clarke was recently spotted looking cosy with his pretty blonde assistant Sasha Armstrong aboard Anthony Bell’s luxury yacht – but the former captain’s wife Kyly was nowhere to be seen.

Catching up with former rugby league star Beau Ryan in Sydney last week, Jackie O appeared on edge. The duo’s coffee date comes just weeks after the radio star moved out of her family home and moved in to her own place after splitting from husband Lee Henderson. Now, New Idea can reveal that not only could the radio host land a divorce settlement into the millions, but she may be forced to pay her estranged husband spousal maintenance, which occurs in circumstances where one party is unable to adequately support themselves post-separation.
