With the help of his new girlfriend, Michael Clarke has celebrated his Order of Australia medal with a lavish party on a $15 million superyacht.
Former Australian Test captain Michael Clarke has celebrated his Order of Australia medal with a lavish party on a $15 million superyacht in Sydney.
As part of the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in June, Clarke was appointed an officer in the general division of the Order of Australia, joining an elite group of cricket greats.
With the assistance of partner and fashion designer Pip Edwards, the couple hosted an exclusive party on the eight-figure yacht, which is reportedly owned by Clarke’s accountant Anthony Bell.

In attendance was Channel 9 presenter Erin Molan and The Morning Show co-host Larry Emdur.
The 40-year-old Edwards donned a stunning black gown, while Clarke wore a classy tuxedo as they celebrated under the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Thursday.
Edwards shared an image of the couple to her Instagram, captioned: “It’s your night tonight lover.”
The pair have been dating for several months after Clarke separated from his ex-wife Kyly in February.
In a statement, the former couple said: “After living apart for some time, we have made the difficult decision to separate as a couple, amicably.
“With the greatest of respect for each other, we’ve come to the mutual conclusion that this is the best course for us to take while committed to the co-parenting of our daughter.”
Clarke and Kyly went to school together at Sydney’s Westfields Sports High, but didn’t start dating until many years later, after Clarke’s engagement with Lara Worthington (nee Bingle) was broken off in 2010.
