The future of Lara Bingle and Michael Clarke's relationship may be revealed as soon as Friday amid speculation their two-year engagement is over.
The 22-year-old model fought off paparazzi for another day on Thursday after she and her cricketer fiance reportedly moved out their Bondi unit and into separate residences.
The media has put the story at the top of news bulletins with speculation and unconfirmed reports of a break-up.
Clarke abandoned his teammates during the one-day series in New Zealand to fly home to Sydney sort out his personal life.
It's understood the move came after Bingle gave an exclusive interview with Women's Day magazine into the nude picture scandal that broke about 10 days ago.
She claims AFL footballer Brendan Fevola circulated a nude photo of her taken in a shower during an affair between the pair in 2006 and is seeking to sue him in court.
On Thursday, the Nine Network reported Clarke was opposed to Bingle granting the interview, saying it would resurrect old news and intrude into the couple's private life.
Speculation looms that either Clarke's or Bingle's media representatives will release a statement as early as Thursday night confirming an end to the relationship.
