Summer Honors Shane Warne with Mothers Day Tribute

Summer Warne has shared a touching tribute to her mother, Simone Callahan. 

The daughter of late cricketer Shane Warne posted an unseen image of her parents together in an Instagram Stories post on Sunday. 

Wishing her mum a happy Mother's Day, the 24-year-old included a moving caption along with the photo of her folks in happier days. 

'Happy mummy day to this beautiful woman. I love you,' Summer wrote, tagging her mother. 

The throwback image showed Shane and Simone sharing a cigar and appeared to date to the 1990s. 

The couple, who married in 1992 and divorced in 2005, ham it up for the cameras in the photo, with Shane gazing lovingly at his then-wife. 

It comes after Simone broke her silence on the devastating moment she realised cricket legend had died.

Speaking with raw honesty on son Jackson's podcast Warnes Way, Simone recalled , aged 52.

Simone, who lives an hour outside in the coastal town of Somers, had been on her way home to collect daughter Summer when the messages started coming through.

'It didn't feel real,' she told Jackson.

'We were just having a normal Friday night. Then that just unfolded the way it did and having to go back to Melbourne and get Summer and getting a call on the way back.

'Saying are you nearly home, when I got that message I thought this isn't good if they're asking me if I'm nearly home with Summer because they wanted us all together for the next phone call. Our lives were changed forever in that moment.'

In the chaotic weeks that followed, as the world mourned one of Australia's greatest sporting icons, Simone watched their children – Brooke, Jackson and Summer – thrown into the eye of the storm, tasked with organising a funeral and memorial while barely able to manage their own grief.

Much of that period, she admits, remains a blur.

'I had so much going on because I was worried about you guys because you were being pulled left, right and centre to organise the funeral, the memorial,' she told Jackson.
