Elizabeth Hurley's Rumored Boyfriend Leaves His Wife

Shane Warne, the Australian cricketer rumored to be having an affair with Elizabeth Hurley, responded to a British tabloid's report of their romance in the same way Hurley did yesterday. "Hey guys been a long day," he tweeted. "I have posted a short factually correct paragraph to clarify situation on my website." There, he revealed that he and wife Simone "split up a while ago," and that only "close friends and family were informed at that time."

Warne, who the Daily Mail calls a "notorious philanderer," and Simone actually divorced in 2007 after a series of affairs, but reunited last year and were living together with their children. Hurley and Warne met in July and have been flirtily tweeting since: Hurley has called Warne "Angel" and her "favorite Australian." They allegedly spent two nights in a hotel together this week.
