Having the last laugh! Loved-up Lara Worthington steps out with husband Sam for a romantic dinner as fans say she is ‘lucky’ to escape her womaniser ex Michael Clarke

Lara Worthington (née Bingle) showed off her very toned abs on Sunday as she enjoyed a romantic date with husband Sam in Los Angeles.

The lovebirds were spotted leaving the exclusive Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.

The model, 37, was dressed in a designer ensemble – with a denim crossbody jacket from Alaïa, which showed off her toned stomach and retailed for $1,660, paired with loose black trousers.

The blonde beauty kept her accessories to a minimum, stepping out in a pair of black pumps that matched her heart-shaped Alaïa handbag, also worth $1,660.

Letting her natural beauty shine through, Lara wore a fresh-faced makeup-free look for her romantic night out and tucked her blonde locks behind her ears.

Sam, who wore a very casual all-black ensemble, looked every bit the loving husband as he helped Lara into their car at the end of the evening.

Lara and Sam married in 2014 and share three sons: Rocket, eight, Racer, six, and River, three.

They looked incredibly in love on a rare outing without their kids.

It comes as Lara was applauded by fans for being ‘lucky’ to be the one to escape her ex-fiancé Michael Clarke, 43, in 2010.

The former cricket captain’s tumultuous engagement to Lara made headlines that year when rumors spread that her $200,000 diamond ring ended up in the toilet.

The model, 37, was dressed in a designer ensemble – with a denim crossbody jacket from Alaïa, which showed off her toned stomach and retailed for $1,660, paired with loose black trousers.

Now the radio host is back in the news more than a decade later after it was revealed he made his way through a group of Sydney’s most elite women.

The group consists of Jade Yarborough, with whom he dated for a year; socialite Jaclyn Sainsbury; and Rique Miroshnik, the ex-wife of plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Miroshnik.

Michael is now in a relationship with Arabella Sherborne, 32, who is from the same group of friends.

Fans of his ex Lara flocked to social media over the weekend to criticize the former sportsman for his womanizing behavior and to congratulate Lara on leaving him.

“Lara Bingle had the right idea and flushed his engagement ring,” one wrote, while another agreed that “she was the smart one.”

Sam, who wore a very casual all-black ensemble, looked every bit the loving husband as he was spotted helping Lara get into their car at the end of the night.

A third added: ‘I hope Lara Worthington sits back and says she has a lucky escape.’

‘The worst thing he ever did was lose Lara. The best thing that ever happened to her was losing him!’ yet another commented.

Someone else agreed, replying: ‘Absolutely! Lara won gold by losing it,” while another wrote: “Lara was always too good for you [Michael]!’

Michael and Lara started dating in 2007, after meeting on the set of Channel Nine’s now defunct reality TV show Torvill and Dean’s Dancing on Ice.

In March the following year, the glamor couple got engaged during a romantic trip to New York.

It comes as Lara was applauded by fans for being ‘lucky’ to be the one to escape her ex-fiancé Michael Clarke, 43, in 2010.

During their relationship, the smitten sportsman had Lara’s initials tattooed on his shoulder and spoiled her with gifts such as an Aston Martin worth $300,000.

In March 2010, Michael left his teammates midway through a tour of New Zealand to return to Australia for ‘personal reasons’.

Two days later, he confirmed at a late-night press conference that his two-year engagement to the former Tourism Australia spokesperson was over.

Their split came just months after a photo of Lara in the shower – taken years earlier by AFL star Brendan Fevola during their relationship – was leaked and went viral.

Fans of his ex Lara flocked to social media over the weekend to criticize the former sportsman for his womanizing behavior and to congratulate Lara on leaving him.

Following their split, it was rumored that Lara’s $200,000 engagement ring was flushed down the toilet at their $6 million Bondi beach spot.

Plumbers even showed up at the complex, but it was unclear whether they were just trying to hijack a challenging media story with a clever marketing stunt.

Michael finally addressed the rumors six years later in an interview with 60 Minutes, describing them as “completely made up 100 percent bulls**t.”

‘I would like to say that I am a very stupid man. But I’m not that stupid. I’m not throwing a diamond ring down the toilet,” he said in 2016.
