The duo called it quits in 2010, after Clarke made a snap decision to fly home from a cricket tour in New Zealand for "personal reasons".
After Clarke parted ways with Lara, there were rumours that their engagement ring had been flushed down the toilet and he Clarke called a Sydney plumber to retrieve it.

"I'm not that silly. I'm not throwing any diamond ring down a toilet. Complete made-up 100 percent bulls**t! I have apologised enough," he said.
Recalling the split, Clarke said, "There were cameras 24/7. That wasn't my dream. I didn't know that came with playing cricket for Australia," Clarke said in TV show, 60 Minutes.
"I got to a stage when I came back and I actually couldn't stay in my own house. I didn't feel comfortable. So I ended up hiding in the boot of my mate's car. He picked me up in the garage, um and snuck out without the media seeing me," he added.
Clarke appeared on the show alongside his wife Kyly, who was his schoolmate at Westfields Sports High School in Sydney's western suburbs
