Nathan Lyon and Emma McCarthy: the engagement unites around Mel Waring

Kyly Clarke is the latest cricket WAG to support Nathan Lyon’s ex-partner Mel Waring amid rumors the drummer is engaged to glamorous real estate agent Emma McCarthy.

Emma, ​​29, was pictured on Saturday wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring as she watched Nathan, 33, play his 100th test match at Gabba.

While the couple have not confirmed their plans to tie the knot, it appears several GAFs are still sympathetic to Mel, whom Nathan left in late 2017 so he could date Emma.

On Monday, Kyly supported Mel by commenting on a photo she posted to Instagram of herself with her six-year-old daughter Harper.

“Cuties,” Kyly wrote, before liking the post.

In November, Kyly also celebrated Harper’s birthday by commenting on Mel’s Instagram page: “ Happy bday girl [praise emojis, rainbow emoji]”.

Kyly has a lot in common with Mel, as she also lost her WAG title last year after it was made public with her split from retired cricketer Michael Clarke.

Sadly, Mel’s relationship ended in much more acrimonious circumstances.

The former couple broke up after Nathan was caught kissing Emma in late 2017 while still with his ex-partner.

David Warner’s wife Candice has also helmed for Mel in recent months by liking several of her Instagram posts.

As Nathan and Emma’s engagement rumors swirled around on Saturday, Candice took to Mel’s Instagram page to like her latest pic, which showed her hiking with friends.

In December, Candice also liked a pic of Mel at the beach with her two daughters.

The same post was commented on by fellow WAG Roz Kelly, who is the wife of South African cricketer Morné Morkel.

“Gorgeous girls,” Roz wrote, highlighting her support for the single mother of two.

Elsewhere, WAGs Lee Watson and Rebecca Marsh rallied around Mel, commenting on her recent Instagram post announcing that she had bought a new home in Canberra.

In the photo, Mel and her daughters are proudly posing in front of a “sold” sign.

“Congratulations girls! wrote Lee, who is married to cricketer Shane Watson.

Rebecca, whose husband is Shaun Marsh, added, “ Great news. Can’t wait to visit. Miss you guys so much.

Mel also received constant support from Dani Willis in the years since her relationship with Nathan broke.

Dani, married to former Australian cricket captain Steve Smith, made no secret of her alliance with Mel by liking and commenting on her Instagram posts.

In 2019, Woman’s Day reported that the WAG community was torn apart because of the animosity between Dani and Nathan’s new partner Emma.

According to the post, Dani remained “ very loyal ” to Mel and refused to accept her new relationship.

“Dani is a very loyal friend and it’s no secret that she’s been very icy with Emma,” a source told the magazine.

‘Dani knows how bitter the split is and how devastated Mel was when she found out [Nathan’s] affair so she has no time for Emma, ​​” the insider added.

“It created a real division among the girls. I can’t see Dani becoming friends with Emma.

Emma made headlines on Saturday when she was spotted flashing what appeared to be a large diamond engagement ring.

She and Nathan have not commented on rumors they are engaged.

Nathan shares custody of two daughters with his former partner.
