The Italian beauty shrugs off criticism of her romance with Glenn McGrath, saying their life together is a whole new chapter.
Sara Leonardi knows she will never replace Glenn McGrath’s late wife Jane, but even she was caught out when her fiancé’s own charity started questioning her role in the cricketer’s life.

The 28-year-old felt the need to hit back at claims it was too soon for the couple to share their love in public, after it was last week revealed The McGrath Foundation had questioned 1200 people about her engagement to Glenn – and whether it would be disrespectful of her to accompany the 40-year-old to the Ashes.
“I’ve been listening to the news and there’s a lot of people who have been in the same kind of role that Glenn has been, and gone through the same thing, and I think, unless you are in the situation, can you actually know what it feels?” a frustrated Sara told the media last week.
“The survey’s neither here nor there, I think Australians are genuinely happy for us.”
While the foundation – set up in honour of Jane, who died in 2008 after a long and valiant battle against breast cancer – has since admitted the poll was a mistake, Sara says she is doing her best to shrug off the controversy.
