Meet the Simone Callahan who is not Shane Warne’s wife

A woman from Geelong, Australia, is constantly being mistaken for former cricketer Shane Warne’s ex-wife Simone Callahan, and the reason is – both ladies share the same name.

The Simone Callahan, who in no way is associated with Warne, 41, has garnered a lot of international attention ever since news of his having an affair with Liz Hurley emerged.

According to the Geelong Advertiser, journalists from British tabloids and Australian magazines have been hounding the Geelong woman and her family in the hope they’ll get the scoop on Warne’s on-again off-again relationship with the other Simone Callahan.

“It seems as though whenever there’s a drama with Warne they’ll contact me and knowing Warne there’s always a drama,” the Daily Telegraph quoted Callahan as saying.

“The British tabloids are the worst. They’ve called my Dad’s house and left messages for my cousin. Dad’s also getting contacted by emails and on Facebook.

“He loves it; he thinks he might make a few dollars out of it,” she stated.
