The Made In Romania actor took to her official Instagram handle and recalled some of the memories with the late cricketer as she shared a couple of pics with him. She even penned a heartfelt note in the caption which was all about her not being present in Australia to pay her last respects. She wrote, "My heart aches that I can’t be in Australia tomorrow for Shane’s funeral. I was filming last night and, with the time jump, physically can’t get there."

Recalling her visit to Sri Lanka with the legendary cricketer, Hurley continued, "These pictures were taken in Sri Lanka to celebrate our engagement- we had all our children with us and it was the happiest time. It still hasn’t really sunk in that he’s gone. It seems too cruel that all the people who loved him will never have another Lion hug, but our memories will live forever. RIP Lionheart, with love your Luna."
