Melbourne, Dec 28 : Cricket star Shane Warne has patched up his rift with on-and-off partner Simone Callahan, according to reports.

When Simone was asked about growing rumours of a reunion, she giggled that they were "just good friends".

"I don''t know what you''re talking about. We''re just good friends," she said.

However, people in the sporting world disagree with her and insist that the couple are an item again, reports News. com. au.

Less than a month ago, Warne and the mother of his three children were seen looking at property together in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton.

They were married for 10 years but separated three years ago after a series of sex scandals surrounding the spin bowler.

Early last year the mercurial couple reconciled, with photos and video of Warne and Callahan canoodling in Fiji.

However, by last September the couple was exchanging public barbs again, with Callahan claiming a stray text message had confirmed her fears that he was cheating on her.

Pals say they have been seeing each other again for at least a couple of weeks. (ANI)
