International cricket star Shane Warne recently opened up to The Times Magazine about his hard relationship with ex-fiancée Elizabeth Hurley. The couple met in 2010 and got engaged a year later. The relationship lasted another two years before the couple split in a mutual decision.

When asked why the pair broke up Warne replied, "Nothing specific. Nothing she did wrong, or I did wrong. It just didn't pan out."

The couple found it hard to spend time together due to their hectic schedules, but there were also other things that led to the split. "It wasn't just scheduling. When we first met, she was basically not doing anything. She was a farmer. And I had retired from international cricket. But then Elizabeth went back to work, shooting movies and TV series. I was playing cricket and poker. She was going to America, doing her breast cancer awareness stuff for Estee Lauder. I had my poker, I had cricket commentary. I had children in Australia, so just putting all that into the mix. The number of whiteboards we had about travelling." He continued, "So the reason we split up, it wasn't just scheduling. It just shouldn't be that hard."

The two still keep in touch and Warne has nothing but nice things to say about the actress. ''Relationships are hard. Really hard. They shouldn't be, but they are. Tough. Always an interesting dinner conversation: are two people meant to be together for the rest of their lives?''
