During their relationship, reportedly, Hurley and Warne bought the Grade II–listed mansion Donnington Hall, near Ledbury, Herefordshire, as their main home in 2012. Even after their split in 2016, Hurley continued to stay there. Considered the greatest spinner of all time, Warne died after suffering a cardiac arrest during a vacation in Thailand, on March 4, 2022. After his demise, Elizabeth paid tribute by saying "I feel like the sun has gone behind a cloud forever. RIP my beloved lionheart" 

Even Sachin Tendulkar remembered Shane on his death anniversary. Sachin penned a heartfelt note, recalling his "great friend" against whom he fought many memorable battles on the pitch. Taking to social media, Tendulkar recalled the times that he spent with Warne and also shared a picture where the two could be seen in conversation.

"We have had some memorable battles on the field & shared equally memorable moments off it. I miss you not only as a great cricketer but also as a great friend. I am sure you are making heaven a more charming place than it ever was with your sense of humour and charisma, Warnie!" Tendulkar wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
