Shane was a well-respected player amongst his community – and beyond - thanks to his impeccable career and outstanding achievements.

‘Warnie’ – as many referred to him - was considered one of the ‘best bowlers in cricket history’ and inspired many others to follow in his footsteps.

The most iconic moment in the Aussie’s career was ‘The Gattling Ball.’ In 1993, Shane played his first Ashes Series against England. Bowling his first ball, he produced a spectacular delivery that bowled the opposition, Gattling, out. Alas, the leg spin bowling was revived.

Along with his desirable accomplishments, Shane was a success off the pitch, with the ladies, to be exact.

The 52-year-old had many high-profile relationships over the years – We take a look back at the self-proclaimed Playboy’s dating history.

Shane and Simone Callahan – Married for 10 years

Warne’s extensive dating history started with his childhood sweetheart, Simone Callahan.

The pair were married for 10 years and had three children together: Jackson, Summer and Brooke. 

The split came as the spinner was caught cheating with multiple women in 2005, which eventually led to the break-down of their marriage.

The cricket star opened up about his infidelities in the Amazon Prime programme, which was released this year, and admitted turning to the bottle to deal with the hurt of his family leaving him, due to the scandals.

Shane and Liz Hurley – Dated for Two Years

The most high-profile relationship for Shane was dating actress, Elizabeth Hurley.

The tabloids became obsessed with the lovebirds and they were continually in the spotlight on their whirlwind romance.

The couple started dating in 2010 and only a year later, Warne popped the question and asked Hurley to marry him. The romance was short-lived, however, as they sadly confirmed their split in 2013.

The pair announced that due to the long-distance natured partnership, it was too overwhelming and played a part in them calling it a day.

Tinder, Sex Scandals and Insta Likes

The 52-year-old hit the headlines due to his very open sex parties and interactions with celebrities on social media.

The spin bowler allegedly held sex parties with his lover and escorts at his home in North-West London. It was reported by many tabliods that he "threw the windows wide open for all to hear his antics." His lover and two sex workers were so loud that "the neighbours could hear," allegedly.

Warne later turned his attention to actress, Kate Beckinsale in 2022, liking and commenting on her Instagram posts, generating many to speculate a possible romance.

The TV pundit then went on to comment on Love Island’s Instagram, Lucie Donlan, which caused many to questions his actions, with the TV personality being younger than his eldest daughter, at just 21-year-old.

Shane and Emily Scott – Dated for 3 months

The cricketers last public relationship was reportedly with Emily Scott – DJ and model – confirming their romance in June 2014.

Sadly, the couple split just three months into the relationship as it was reported Shane was spotted with another woman, despite the Aussie’s extensive denial.
