Arabella, who is 11 years Michael’s junior, has launched a hugely successful career in real estate and currently works as a leasing executive.
She has held her role at Scentre Group, the owner and operator of Westfield in Australia and New Zealand, for more than two years.
Arabella previously worked in the same role for the company in Brisbane for one year before making the move to Sydney, where she now lives.
From 2017 until 2020, Arabella worked as a negotiator in advisory and transactions for CBRE Asia Pacific and held a role as a career consultant at Evans Petersen Legal before that.
She was raised in Brisbane and attended a grammar school in the city before attending the University of Queensland, where she studied international hotel and tourist management.
But who is Michael’s new girlfriend? Arabella boasts many celebrity pals including (L-R) model Megan Blake Irwin, Andy Allen’s wife Alex, Chantelle Otten and Jock Zonfrillo’s widow Lauren
As well as her high-flying real estate career, Arabella also has a budding presence on social media and frequently gives an insight into her lavish lifestyle.
She shares a striking resemblance to actress Sydney Sweeney in many of her pictures, with the brunette bombshell often looking the spitting image of the Euphoria star.
She boasts more than 5,000 followers on Instagram and often shares posts of herself dressed-up in glamorous outfits while enjoying nights out with her friends.
Arabella has a very well-connected circle and boasts a string of celebrity friends, including the likes of Jock Zonfrillo‘s widow Lauren and Dylan Alcott‘s girlfriend Chantelle Otten.
Despite Michael’s very public and messy split from Jade Yarbrough, Arabella also seems to have a good relationship with the cricketing star’s ex-girlfriend.
In April, Arabella shared a group picture of herself enjoying an evening out on the town with Lauren and Chantelle as they proved themselves to be close pals.

The trio were all smiles as they also posed alongside MasterChef Australia judge Andy Allen’s wife Alex Davey and Aussie model Megan Blake Irwin.
Andy and his wife Alex were close friends with late MasterChef Australia judge Jock – who was tragically found dead in a hotel in Carlton on April 30, 2023 – and his widow Lauren.
Arabella appears to be good friends with both Alex and Lauren as they often leave gushing comments on each other’s posts, as well as sharing many snaps together.
Arabella is also friends with influencer-turned-entrepreneur Nikki Westcott and often shows her support for her friend’s popular fashion brand Jagger & Stone.
The social media star is also followed on Instagram by influencers Em Davies and Ruby Tuesday Matthews.

Arabella even has a good relationship with Michael’s ex-girlfriend Jade, who he split from in a messy break-up around 18 months ago.
Despite their public split, Arabella and Jade appear to be on friendly terms as the interior designer recently left a gushing comment on one of Arabella’s Instagram posts.
In March, Arabella shared a gallery of snaps of herself celebrating her 32th birthday with a group of friends, prompting Jade to comment a sweet message for her.
She penned: ‘Happy birthday Aries Angel xxx,’ with Arabella simply liking her comment in response.
Michael and Jade had a very public bust-up in January 2023 in a Noosa park when she accused the former cricketer of sleeping with his ex-girlfriend Pip Edwards.

In the video, which was filmed by an onlooker, Jade accused the ex-Test captain of cheating on her with his former flame Pip in December 2022.
The dramatic footage showed a shirtless Michael being screamed at and slapped by his girlfriend while out for dinner at a beachside restaurant in Noosa. A remorseful Michael later took full responsibility for what happened.
‘I’m absolutely gutted I’ve put people I hold in the highest regard in this position. My actions in the lead-up to this altercation were nothing short of shameful and regrettable,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.
‘I am shattered that because of my actions I’ve drawn women of class and integrity, and my mates, into this situation.’
Despite the bust-up, the pair ‘remain on amicable terms,’ a rep previously told Daily Mail Australia, while Jade is seemingly also friendly with Michael’s new girlfriend Arabella.

Before his romance with Jade, Michael dated P.E Nation designer and co-founder Pip Edwards before their relationship eventually ended in 2021.
In September 2019, he quietly split from his ex-wife Kyly after seven years of marriage, but didn’t announce their separation until five months later. They share daughter Kelsey Lee, eight.
Reports of Michael’s new romance with Arabella emerged this week after they were reportedly seen cuddling during a breakfast date at the Gold Coast’s Langham Hotel.
A source told the Daily Telegraph they had Michael’s daughter Kesley Lee with them, and that they seemed ‘very relaxed’ while Arabella came across as ‘down to earth’.
‘We were very surprised to see Michael Clarke and daughter with a new partner,’ the source said.

Michael was spotted jetting out of Sydney Airport on Saturday, shortly before his new romance was ‘confirmed’.
Arabella then shared snaps from their holiday on the Gold Coast together, with Michael gushing over her in the comments section in a flirty exchange.
An insider said of their reported new romance: ‘Arabella is a catch. She is super-smart, works in the corporate world, and is a stunner.’
They added that things are already getting very serious between the pair and that wedding bells could soon be on the horizon.
‘She has had a few boyfriends but is really ready to settle down. Her and Michael are a good match, very cute together. Maybe she will be the next Mrs Clarke,’ they added.
While the couple are yet to be photographed in public together, the pair are currently following each other on Instagram.
