According to Sport24 news, family legal representative David Becker, on behalf of Graeme and Morgan Smith, said that Graeme and Morgan were unfortunately divorcing. Becker added that this was a private matter and the couple would ask that their privacy was respected during this time, both for the sake of themselves and their children.

The South African skipper however, was busy in Melbourne to support the Proteas as they take on India in their next match on Sunday.

Smith tied the knot to Deane in Cape Town in August 2011. The former couple have two children together.
