Michael Clarke and celebrity accountant Anthony Bell enjoy lunch at Lotus in Barangaroo

Michael Clarke has just returned to Sydney after a relaxing break in Noosa with new girlfriend, Pip Edwards. 

And after the couple spent time at Anthony Bell’s $10.3million waterfront mansion in the idyllic suburb, the former cricketer was spotted heading for lunch with the celebrity accountant. 

Michael, 39, and Anthony stepped out for a bite to eat in Sydney’s Barangaroo on Thursday, heading to a restaurant called Lotus.

The sportsman styled a khaki T-shirt with black chino shorts, adding a black puffer vest to keep warm. 

Michael shielded his eyes with dark sunglasses, while sporting a five o’clock shadow. 

Meanwhile, his businessman friend Anthony looked professional in a navy blue suit and white button-up shirt.

Anthony and Michael walked side-by-side down the boardwalk, before meeting up with another man in a suit before sitting down for lunch.

It’s unclear whether the meeting was for work or pleasure.  

Michael recently went public with his girlfriend, P.E. Nation founder Pip Edwards, 40.

Anthony joined them on their recent venture to Noosa on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.  

The accountant owns a $10.3million mansion in the beachside suburb. 

After months of trying to keep their romance on the down low, Michael and Pip decided to embark on their first family holiday together.

The Bondi fashion designer has already used the holiday as an opportunity to make her relationship with Michael ‘Instagram official’.

During the trip, Pip, her son Justice, Michael, and his daughter Kelsey Lee, hit a Noosa beach.  

‘Pip was giving [Michael] loads of attention and having a lot of laughs,’ an onlooker told Daily Mail Australia at the time.

Michael and Pip began dating shortly after the former batsman’s split from model Kyly Clarke (née Boldy) in late 2019, after seven years of marriage.

However, their romance didn’t make headlines until February, when the Clarkes publicly announced their separation.
