Having the last laugh! Nathan Lyon’s ex Mel Waring shares her happy life with new partner after cricketer left her for glamorous real estate agent Emma
She was left heartbroken when her cricket star partner Nathan Lyon left her to live with glamorous estate agent Emma McCarthy.
But time seems to have healed all wounds for Mel Waring, who looks happier than ever after finding new love with a handsome new man.
The 35-year-old showed off her idyllic new life on Instagram on Monday, sharing photos of herself enjoying a backyard pool party with her boyfriend and a group of friends.
In one photo, the brunette is pictured cuddling up to her husband on a pool chair with a glass of champagne.
Another shows the mother of two posing in a plunging swimsuit and holding a trio of fruity-looking drinks.

Mel went Instagram official with her boyfriend in April last year and shared several photos of the couple together on Instagram.
'The best things are worth waiting for!' she wrote in the caption, with a heart emoji and the hashtags #foundhim and #hardlaunch.

Mel's friends and followers sent well-deserved messages on her page at the time, with one commenting: “Well deserved happiness after how you were treated #betterman.”
“So happy for you Mel,” another added, while a third wrote: “So happy for you.”
The former WAG's relationship with Nathan imploded in late 2017 when he was spotted kissing Emma McCarthy in Perth.

Mel, who had been in a relationship with the spin bowler for ten years, was left 'devastated'.
She detailed their heartbreaking breakup in a blog post in March 2018, recounting the nights she lay in bed with her children and cried.
'I didn't ask for this, this wasn't how my life was supposed to be. He was mine forever, he was my whole world,” she wrote.

“I was 100 percent committed to our lives until the end and I loved every part of him and our world. This was like a bomb, it went off from behind.
'I had to deal with it in a very public, humiliating and confrontational way. Part of me died.'
Since then, Emma and Nathan have tried to keep their relationship under wraps.
They tried to keep their engagement a secret before getting married last July, and even managed to hide Emma's recent pregnancy with strategic outfit choices.
Emma and Nathan still haven't made an official announcement about the baby, but an insider with impeccable ties to the Australian cricket team exclusively gave Ny Breaking Australia a few details in early November.
The couple was very private from the start, and as their relationship developed into an engagement, they tried to keep their July 2022 wedding out of the press.
The source revealed that the Spin King never felt the need to tell his teammates and their partners to keep their knowledge about the new arrival to themselves.
“Everyone knew, it wasn't a secret – we weren't under any confidentiality obligation, it just wasn't anyone else's news to divulge,” they explained.
While remaining tight-lipped about the details, the insider accidentally let slip the gender of the couple's newborn. “I don't know his name, sorry,” they said.
