Shane Warne Wife & Children
With his former spouse Simone Callahan, Warne has three children. The pair were married between 1995 and 2005, and had heterochromia. As a consequence of the condition, one of his eyes was blue while the other was green.
Following a break-up with Simone, Warne was dating Elizabeth Hurley, who he kissed. Despite the fact that Warne’s correspondence with a married Melbourne entrepreneur made headlines soon after their engagement, the pair became famous when Hurley later moved into his Brighton mansion.
In late 2011, Hurley and Warne’s engagement was announced. On December 17, 2013, WHO Magazine revealed that the pair had “dismissed” their engagement.
