Sources say the cricketer has been spending a lot of time with ex wife Simone Callahan...
Liz Hurley has broken her Twitter silence, hinting at a break up with Shane Warne, by apologising to her Twitter followers that recent events are "too raw and personal to share right now".
According to reports from UK's The Sun,
Shane Warne and
Liz Hurley have called off their engagement.
After both Liz and Shane's uncharacteristic recent absence from Twitter suggested to the public they had parted ways, sources have now revealed that Shane's ex wife
Simone Callahan may be involved in the pair's rumoured split.
"Liz found out he had been over at Simone's house a lot.
"She seemed to get the idea that something more than friendship was going on," a source told The Sun.
Fuelling rumours even further, Liz was spotted yesterday without her engagement ring outside her North London home.
And not only that, Shane cancelled his appearance at his own foundation ambassador event - just two hours before he was expected to make an appearance.
The Shane Warne Foundation sent out a media releasing saying that the event was cancelled due to 'scheduling conflicts of our new ambassadors and unavailability of some of our guests'.
Even though Shane and Liz have set up home in the UK, the cricketer has been jetting back home regularly to spend time with his kids and ex-wife Simone.
"Despite everything, he's always been welcome to stay at the family home in Melbourne whenever he likes," the source told The Sun.
"It is felt now the kids are getting older, they need their dad around. Liz couldn't ever handle Shane and Simone still being best friends.
"He's never made any secret of the fact that he'll always love Simone and be a part of her life."
Shane's ten-year marriage with Simone - the mother of his three children, Brooke, Summer and Jackson - hit the rocks in 2005 following allegations of infidelity on his behalf with a 25-year-old student, two years later the pair had rekindled their romance.
In 2010, Shane confirmed he was no longer with Simone after he was spotted canoodling with Liz outside a London restaurant, before popping the question to the actress with a stunning sapphire ring less than a year later.
The source said:
"Friends always thought that Liz would be a flash in the pan and that Shane would go back to Simone and the kids eventually. In the past few months they've grown close again."
