Australian bowler Brett Lee and his good friend Preity Zinta, the Bollywood actress who also owns Lee's Kings XI Punjab cricket team, looked at ease together at an IPL cricket party in India at the weekend.
In almost two years since Lee separated from his wife Liz Kemp, Lee, who won public sympathy after the ugly bust-up, has not once been linked to a woman.
Yesterday Lee's manager Neil Maxwell said that was not about to change. Lee's relationship with Zinta, he said, was strictly professional, adding that the pair had been friends for years, says a media report.
"Brett presented her with an acting award in England some years ago and they've been friends since. She is a very intelligent lady and very nice too," Maxwell said.
And beautiful, we notice.
So if he's still not dating after two years, we asked Maxwell had Lee taken a vow of celibacy?
"I think with the media sniffing around, he has reason to keep his night life as quiet as possible."
