Shane Warne-Donna Wright
Australia's great spinner Shane Warne has always been surrounded by controversies regarding women. He is known to change girlfriends like clothes. Warne first came into the limelight in 2000 due to a woman affair. British nurse Donna Wright accused Warne of sending obscene messages. The matter became so serious that this great spinner lost the vice-captaincy of the Australian team. Then his 10-year-old relationship with Simona also broke. The infamy and the breakup of old relationships had no effect on Warne and his lewdness continued. In 2006, his nude pictures with MTV presenter Coralie Eichholtz and Emma were revealed. Warne had a long romance with Bollywood actress Liz Hurley and later it reached the stage of marriage but Warne avoided it. His name has also been linked with many other women including Emily Scott.

According to Nimmo, she and Kevin Pietersen had a husband-wife relationship. She said, “We have spent many nights together. But Kevin turned out to be a cheater. He ended the relationship with just one message. Pietersen married Jessica Taylor in 2007.
