Michael Clarke and Jade Yarbrough are slapped with 'public nuisance' fines over ... trends now
Michael Clarke and Jade Yarbrough have been slapped with 'public nuisance' fines after getting into a violent screaming match in a public park - as it's revealed the couple had been making efforts to repair their relationship.
Queensland Police confirmed that a 41-year-old NSW man and a 30-year-old Queensland woman had been issued with Public Nuisance Infringement Notices.
The fines related to an alleged incident between the pair depicted in footage at Lions Park on Gympie Terrace in Noosaville earlier this month, police said.
'No other offences were detected during the investigation,' a statement said.
'There is no further information available and the investigation has been finalised.'
It comes after sources said Clarke was swearing 'black and blue' that he had been spending time apart from Jade when he allegedly hooked up with his ex-girlfriend.
A source close to the pair said they had been on a break when Clarke is alleged to have spent time with fashion designer Pip Edwards on December 17.
However, Edwards was reportedly shocked when she saw photos of Clarke and Jade, the younger sister of Jasmine Yarbrough, the wife of TV star Karl Stefanovic, on a reunion holiday at the popular Queensland town just weeks later.

In lieu of the fiery screaming match, Yarbrough is said to be 'distraught and embarrassed' as she lays low in Brisbane while Clarke is 'devastated'.
A source close to the cricket star says he is concerned about 'the way Jade is being portrayed' after footage of the melee did the rounds on social media.
'He's devastated that he's put her in this position,' the source said.
The couple had been staying with Anthony Bell, a multimillionaire accountant, in his $10million Noosaville mansion located just a stone's throw away from the ocean.
On January 7, the couple hit the beach and appeared happy and relaxed as they exchanged jokes and poked fun at each other at the water's edge.
It's understood Yarbrough may have then exchanged text messages or spoken with Edwards after seeing a text on her boyfriend's phone.

On January 8, cracks began to show with the couple pictured looking tense as they sat in lounge chairs in Bell's mansion, with Clarke holding his girlfriend's hand.
Tensions appeared high as a clearly upset-looking Yarbrough pushed the cricketer and commentator away as he followed her out of the spacious pool area.
Tensions hit an all-time high on January 10, when the couple were joined by Jasmine, Stefanovic, and their host Bell at the Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar.
Sources say the night escalated after the group had enjoyed a round of drinks.
'They'd all only had one glass of wine, so this talk of a wild night is not true. They'd just got to the restaurant and sat down when it happened,' a source has claimed.
At about 9.30pm, the fight broke out, reportedly about recent text messages between Clarke and Edwards, and the allegation he had cheated on Yarbrough with
