Images on social media showed Weatherlake soaking up the European sun with her new beau – Victorian builder Nick McKimm, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The pair uploaded several images showing them getting close as they lived it up with friends on the Greek Islands.

Siddle, the former Victorian and Australian fast bowler popped the question to his blonde beauty during a weekend getaway on the Mornington Peninsula two after winning the Sheffield Shield in 2015.

The pair had been together for four years before Siddle got down on one knee with the help of one of the couple’s dogs.

“Every night before bed we take the collars off our dogs, so I started taking Oscar’s off and there was a diamond ring hanging from the end of it. I couldn’t believe it,” Weatherlake said.

“I didn’t even realise, I went to pass the collar to Sids to put on the bedside table and he just stared at me and the collar and then I noticed it.’’

Siddle opened up on his alcohol struggles on Neroli Meadows’ podcast Ordineroli Speaking in 2020, revealing the toll it was taking on him and his relationships.

“I was partying too hard, and it was getting out of control,” he said.

“All my relationships that were real close to me, I was just in a way lying to them all.

“I’d got myself in some bad situations that could’ve cost myself a relationship with my now wife.

“She comes home to my place with someone else in the room with me, I don’t remember much because I was in the state I was in pretty much every weekend.

“That was when I broke down. Yes, I’d f***ed up, but I knew that I wanted her to be in my life.

“I begged her to death, but also, I knew things had to change then.

“I was living two lives in a way. I was living the party boy life and trying to be a cricketer.

“Not just a cricketer who rocks up on the weekend and plays 40 overs and then hangs out with the boys. I was an Australian cricketer, at the time pretty much close to the peak of my powers, and I was throwing it all away.”

Siddle walked away from the alcohol and as of 2020 had gone almost eight years without a drink.
