The 40-year-old showed off her washboard abs in a pink crop top and leggings from her own label at a gym on the Northern Beaches. 

The blonde was her own best advertisement in the activewear, wearing a stylish pair of black, grey and pink leggings. 

The mother-of-one teamed the look with pink sneakers and a crop top and wore light and natural-looking makeup. 

‘It can be a bit of a stretch sometimes,’ Pip captioned one image.

It comes after Michael finally acknowledged their relationship after months of speculation.

Just one week after the couple was spotted enjoying a romantic dinner in Bondi, Michael confirmed the romance on his Big Sports Breakfast radio show on Monday. 

The 39-year-old was asked by his co-host, rugby league journalist Phil Rothfield, about his date with Pip and he didn’t seem the least bit embarrassed.

The cheeky discussion started when Phil brought up that Michael had been featured in the ‘spotted’ section of a newspaper, but he didn’t mention who with.

‘You know what? I did the right thing by him, I didn’t mention your female company at the table,’ Phil said.

Michael responded with a laugh: ‘Why not? Listen buddy, you can always mention my female company. How dare you leave that out.’

The father of one appeared to be referring to Pip, who had accompanied him to dinner at Bondi’s Society Pizza restaurant last week. 

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Michael has been telling friends he wants to keep the relationship ‘low-key’ for the sake of his and Pip’s respective children.

Last Wednesday, Pip appeared to confirm her romance with Michael by sharing a rather cheeky Instagram post.

Michael and Pip first hooked up after the retired cricketer’s split from wife Kyly in September.

Their romance didn’t become public knowledge, however, until after the Clarkes announced their separation on February 12.

When news of the relationship surfaced, Michael and Pip both denied they were anything more than friends.

But despite their denials, it’s understood they were in fact an item. The couple reportedly ended things in April because Michael couldn’t handle the publicity that came with dating Pip.
