IT may have been one of the more headline-grabbing splits but Lara Bingle says she and ex fiance Michael Clarke are still close and now talk regularly.
"We talk a lot ... he was a massive part of my life," Bingle said, adding she was keeping an eye on Clarke's progress in South Africa where Australia begins a Test series today, The Daily Telegraph reported.
"I don't follow cricket all the time but since he has been captain I am his No.1 supporter."
Bingle - who is yet to meet Clarke's new flame Kyly Boldy - is now single after a brief romance with English rugby player Danny Cipriani.
"And I'm not looking. Not at all. I find that when you start looking you never find anyone."
Bingle is bound for the US on Saturday in a bid to crack the international modelling scene.
"There's nothing I can really talk about yet but I know I just have to spend more time there."
