Pip Edwards is living her best life despite the recent cheating drama surrounding her and former cricket star Michael Clarke.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday evening, the 42-year-old founder of the PE nation shared photos of herself enjoying a bite to eat at 10 William Street in Sydney’s leafy eastern suburbs.
Pip opted for an Aperol spritz in the wine bar and restaurant and snacked on a pretzel and whipped botarga, a delicacy of salted and cured fish roe, to satisfy her appetite.

Later in the evening, Pip shared photos of herself beaming at Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour at Allianz Stadium in Moore Park.
The Rose Bay star looked like she was having the time of her life with a friend, donning some fun light-up glasses to the Rocket Man singer’s Australian swan song.

It comes after extraordinary footage emerged of Karl Stefanovic embroiled in a heated late-night exchange with his good friend Michael Clarke in front of shocked onlookers in a public park.
The Today show host and Australian cricket great clashed while on holiday with their respective partners, sisters Jasmine and Jade Yarbrough, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on January 10.
All hell broke loose as the couples dined at a beachside restaurant in Noosa with celebrity accountant Anthony Bell.

“We love you @EltonJohn,” he wrote over another photo of the legendary singer onstage.
The melee is understood to have been over Clarke’s ex-girlfriend, high-profile fashion designer Edwards, and recent text messages between the pair.
The dramatic images obtained by the daily telegraph shows a shirtless Clarke being yelled at and slapped by his hysterical girlfriend while others in the group try to defuse the fight.
‘I’m wrong? I’m fucking wrong! You are a fucking liar. Ican see everything. You called her,’ Jade yells.
Michael Clarke was involved in a late-night altercation with his girlfriend Jade Yarbrough before angering his good partner and Jade’s brother-in-law, Karl Stefanovic.
Clarke tried to reassure Jade that she didn’t cheat on her and swore on the life of her young daughter that she was with Bell the night in question last month.
“Baby you’re wrong, you’re wrong,” he insists.
‘Baby, baby, Belly was in the house. I swear on my life, I swear on my life… That’s not true, that’s not true.
But Jade doesn’t believe her desperate protests and claims that she talked to Edwards.
‘You’re lying to me. You are a piece of s**t. I just talked to her. What’s wrong?’
Clarke replied: ‘Not true, not true.’
Clarke appeared to have strained his hamstring in the melee after Jade pushed him to the ground.
Stefanovic’s wife, Jasmine, finally steps in and grabs her distraught sister by the arm and drags her away.
“Go to Karl, go to Karl,” Jasmine tells Clarke as he unleashes his fury over Stefanovic.
‘Karlos, I can tell you now c**t, don’t go. She can, she can hit me, but you idiot,” says Clarke.
The fierce argument between Michael Clarke and Jade Yarbrough in a public park in Noosa was filmed by shocked onlookers.
The comment provokes the fury of Jade, who defends her brother-in-law before slapping Clarke across the face.
“You piece of shit, don’t talk to him,” he yelled.
Stefanovic and Bell can be heard telling the couple to stop, which falls on deaf ears.
“Go hit me, hit me… do it again, you’re wrong, you’re fucking wrong,” Clarke tells his girlfriend.
Jade yells, ‘Oh, am I wrong? You fucked her (Edwards) on December 17th, you fucked her… you fucking dog… I’m going to show her every fucking message you’ve ever sent me. .’
She references a text message she saw on Clarke’s phone inviting Edwards to go to India with him.
“Oh yes you are the love of my life Pip come to India” Jade said.
Clarke replied: ‘Don’t ever speak to me again.’
Karl Stefanovic and his wife Jasmine were forced to intervene in the ugly altercation between Jade and Michael.
The two-minute clip ends with her sister Jasmine and Bell separating the feuding couple.
“Stop, Jade, stop,” Jasmine pleads.
Bell added; Let it go, Jade.
The ugly altercation unfolded in front of nearby young children, according to witnesses.
A repentant Clarke has taken full responsibility for what happened.
I am absolutely heartbroken, I have put people I hold in the highest regard in this position. My actions in the lead up to this altercation were nothing short of shameful and regrettable,” he told the publication on Wednesday night.
“I am devastated that by my actions I have brought women of class and integrity, and my peers, into this situation.”
His former partner Edwards distanced himself from the ‘debacle’ when he delivered a brutal blow to Clarke.
‘This is not my circus. Once again, Michael in his true nature has not taken responsibility for his actions and was blatantly lied to,” Edwards said in a statement.
The altercation took place just a day after Clarke and Jade silenced recent breakup rumors when they packed up the PDA on Noosa’s main beach for the holidays.
A week earlier, Clarke had attended a New Years party alone at Bondi Icebergs in Sydney while Jade was halfway around the world in Aspen, Colorado with Jasmine and Karl.
The couple’s separate plans for Christmas and New Years sparked speculation that the couple had broken up after a short-lived romance.
Michael Clarke dated Pip Edwards (pictured in happier times) on and off for 18 months before calling things off for good a year ago.
Clarke’s relationship with former partner Edwards began in June 2020, following his split from his wife Kyly, which they had announced four months earlier.
He and Pip had been friends for over a decade before that, but became friends while working on a fashion project together.
The couple separated in December 2021.
A source close to the couple confirmed the split, saying: “The decision was mutual. They are two best friends who decided to part ways as a couple earlier this month but are continuing their friendship.
After their breakup, Pip had an affair with Bondi restaurateur Cameron Northway for about four months, but that fell through and she got back together with Michael.
Michael and Pip recently attended a New Year’s Day party at the iconic Sydney Icebergs.
The batter was married to former model Kyly Clarke (née Boldy), 40, from 2012 to 2019, but the couple did not announce their split until February 2020.
The Clarkes kept their split under wraps for several months before she posted a statement on Instagram saying her priority was her daughter.
In a statement at the time, the couple said the “amicable” decision to separate was “the best path forward” for their daughter.
