Yeah I read..abt dis news..yesterday..I ws so shocked..I dint hv ny news...abt dis..
Australian cricketer Brett Lee was last night 'shocked and saddened' and pleaded for privacy after confirming he and wife Liz Kemp had split.
Lee's family rallied around the blond-haired pin-up who has bypassed the Australian team camp in Brisbane this week and the one-day series against Bangladesh in Darwin beginning next week to sort out his personal life.
Lee, 31, and podiatrist Kemp, 31, had been married for two years. The couple have a son, Preston, 20 months.
Close friends of Lee were adamant there was no third person involved in the couple's separation.
It's understood Kemp initiated the split last weekend, leaving one of the most popular players in world cricket stunned.
"He is shocked and saddened. He loved her," a friend said.
"He was 100 per cent committed and loyal to her."
It's understood Kemp has made several trips to her home state of Queensland recently with suggestions she was already planning a new life.
It's believed those close to Lee also had concerns that she had been spending up.
Lee, believed to have bunkered down at his home in the Sydney suburb of Lane Cove, confirmed the split in a statement yesterday.
"We have been caught by surprise as to how quickly our situation has become public," Lee said.
"It is with regret that I confirm media reports are correct and that Liz and I have decided to separate.
"Given the personal nature of the matter I ask that you please respect our privacy as we attempt to deal with this sensitive situation."
Lee and Kemp were married in June 2006 at the NSW country property owned by radio broadcaster Alan Jones.

In what may come as good news for cricket fans, Australian fast bowler Brett Lee [Images] has announced that he will be available for the four-Test tour to India next month.
The pace spearhead had taken time off the game and spent sometime with his team mates on Thursday after he split with his wife, Liz Kemp, last month.
The 31-year-old, who missed the one-day series against Bangladesh after being given time off to deal with his marriage breakdown, declared himself ready for selection for the four Tests against India.
''Absolutely. I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait,'' he said.
The speedster further said spending time away from the game has worked well for him, and, ''I am looking forward to achieving my long-held ambition of playing a Test match in India''.
''That's something that's been burning inside of me for a long period of time now, so I will be looking forward to getting over there,'' he said.
''The crowds are brilliant, the people are so friendly and lovely.
Thought it's a tough place to play cricket but very enjoyable,'' Lee added.
Adding that it was good move to get away from home for a day, the pacer, who was the fastest to reach 300 ODI wickets, said, ''I thought it would be a wise move to get out of Sydney and just come up here and spend some time in Darwin and see how the lads are going and get back into the feel of things again.
''I'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks,'' he affirmed.
Lee said this visit would allow him to speak with coach Tim Nielsen about his preparations for India.
He further said his time out had freshened his body and mind.
''The time I've had away from cricket both physically and mentally, it actually freshened me right up so I hope down the back-end this is going to prolong my cricketing life,'' he said.
''I've had a bit of time away from cricket, '' Lee asserted.
''I'm right, I'm feeling fit, I'm feeling fresh and I'm looking forward to the next tour.'' Lee also took part in Australia's [Images] light recovery session, comprising kicking footballs around, following the side's win over Bangladesh in Wednesday's second one-day match.
However, Lee's availability for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy defence is a major boost for the team which is likely to fill up the absence of all-rounder Andrew Symonds [Images], who sent home from Darwin last weekend for disciplinary breach and his future with the Australian team is now in doubt.
The Australian squad is expected to be announced next week and will depart for India on September 21.
