They say love never dies and for Shane Warne and Liz Hurley love certainly seems to have returned after almost five years. The couple who have always been the epitome of perfection before they called it off five years ago are now reportedly on the verge of getting back together. 

According to a report published by Women's Day, it has been stated that the couple is giving their relationship another chance. Warne had recently taken to Instagram to post a birthday picture where the cricketer can be seen holding a cake and grinning at the camera.

The post was captioned: "Very spoilt on my birthday yesterday! Thank you for the very yummy birthday cakes @laureussport@advanced_hair_uk & @crownresorts - very thoughtful! Also, thanks to my great mate @rossdesmond & big @stormzy for a fun night ! 👍."

Hurley then wished her former boyfriend a very happy birthday. The British model left a number of puckered lips emojis on the comments section of the post. Moments later, the cricketer responded with the same emojis.

After parting ways with his wife of 10 years, Simone Callahan, with who he shares three kids Brooke, 20, Summer, 16 and Jackson, 19, Warne was extremely devoted to the idea of being with Hurley.

However, considering their hectic schedule, the couple ended their relationship towards the end of 2013 claiming that the long distance was getting unbearable. The two were not being able to spend much time together since both were continuously travelling. Warne had confessed, "The more you’re apart, the more you ask questions. I got jumpy about the time Elizabeth spent with Hugh Grant, for example."

Warne was always concerned about Hurley's whereabouts specifically when she started working for 'The Royals' and eventually got a little insecure about her friendship with her ex Hugh Grant.

However, the time for all anxiety has passed since Warne had earlier stated that he completely misses being with Hurley. The cricketer who was always known to be a notorious womaniser had even tried changing himself for Hurley. “I was more in love with Elizabeth than I’d realised I could be. I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her.”
