Michael Clarke showers Pip Edwards with a special gift for her milestone 40th birthday

They were spotted grabbing a juice together in Bondi Beach earlier in the day. 

And on Monday, Pip Edwards revealed the pricey gift Michael Clarke gave to her for her 40th birthday.   

Taking to Instagram, Pip publicly thanked the former Australia cricket captain for a glossy fashion book by iconic American designer, Tom Ford. 

‘Thanks for my pressie, MC,’ Pip wrote, along with a picture of the book turned to one of the glossy black-and-white fashion pages. 

Pip is, of course, the founder of urban activewear brand P.E. Nation, which has continued to go from strength-to-strength since it was launched in 2016. 

Meanwhile, the pair, who broke up earlier this month because Michael didn’t like the publicity that came with their relationship, were spotted together in Bondi Beach, Sydney, on Monday morning.

They emerged from Pip’s home in a black car at about 9am and drove to the nearby Cali Press juice bar on Hall Street.

Pip stepped out of the car to pick up their order but noticed they were being photographed. 

After spotting the paparazzi, she spoke with ex-cricketer Michael through the window and then they both drove back to her place.

They were in such a rush to get away, they forgot their juices.

When they got back to Pip’s home, the fashion designer rushed inside and Michael, 39, jumped on his motorcycle which was parked there.

He raced off moments later, covering his face with a black helmet.

Pip soon emerged from the property and made a second trip to Cali Press, where she picked up three juices.

The drinks were presumably for herself, Michael and her teenage son, Justice.

But thanks to the pesky paparazzi, she didn’t get to spend her birthday with the publicity-shy sportsman.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Michael Clarke for comment.

It comes amid unconfirmed reports Michael and Kyly Clarke are working towards a reconciliation after their shock split in September last year.

The former couple, who share four-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee, are in the midst of a divorce said to be worth $40million, but remain on friendly terms.

According to Woman’s Day, spending time together as a family lately has reminded Kyly and Michael of the special bond they once shared.

While they haven’t yet reconciled, their co-parenting arrangement is said to be ‘working for both of them’, leaving open the possibility of a reunion.

Earlier this month, Michael raised eyebrows by uploading a telling post to his Instagram Story about wanting to be ‘home’.

He shared a photo of the backyard pool in the Vaucluse property he once shared with his estranged wife, Kyly, alongside the caption: ‘Home is where I want to be.’ 

Given the context of his recent split from Pip, Michael may have been hinting at a possible reunion with Kyly.

However, the latest pictures showing him leaving Pip’s home at 9am suggest he may be more focused on his friendship with the activewear mogul at the moment.

The Clarkes quietly parted ways in September 2019, but did not announce their break-up until five months later, in February.

After confirming their separation, it emerged that Michael was dating Pip, with whom he had been friends for more than a decade.

While they never publicly acknowledged they were a couple, the pair are understood to have dated for several months after the Clarkes’ split.

But things ended swiftly in early April when Michael decided he couldn’t handle the publicity that came with being linked to the glamorous P.E Nation founder.

It remains to be seen if the photos taken on Monday are proof they have decided to give their relationship another chance.
