Simone Callahan’s love life sparks speculation after Shane Warne’s death
Simone Callahan, the ex-wife of cricket legend Shane Warne, may be moving on with a new relationship. Reports suggest she could be dating Jake McCarthy, though her children have playfully pushed for a romance with Coldplay's Chris Martin. The family's bond with Martin has grown stronger since Warne's sudden death in 2022.
Shane Warne and Simone Callahan first separated in 2005, briefly reconciling in 2009 before ending their marriage for good in 2010. Warne, who died aged 52 from a suspected heart attack in Thailand in March 2022, had long admired his friend Chris Martin. In a 2021 interview with Men’s Health, he praised their close, non-judgmental friendship spanning two decades.
Simone Callahan’s potential new relationship comes as her children openly support her finding happiness. Chris Martin's long-standing friendship with Shane Warne—and his kindness since the cricketer's death—has deepened the family's bond. Whether with McCarthy or another partner, her next steps will likely draw public interest.
