"Too raw & personal to share right now," she said.

Cricket Victoria issued a media release cancelling Wednesday's event in Melbourne just 90 minutes before it was due to start, citing a "scheduling conflict".

The event to launch the Shane Warne Foundation Ambassador Program has been postponed until November 13.

After the cancellation, Warne tweeted: "Hey guys apologies about today & the late notice everyone! See you November 13 at the `G' we are all pumped & excited."

There has been media speculation in recent days that Warne and Hurley have split.

The model did not send Warne a 44th birthday tweet on September 13, although she was in England and he was in Australia.

Warne's last tweet to his 47-year-old fiancee was on August 30, when he seemed to be making plans to spend a day at the races with her.

Warne has been engaged to the Austin Powers actress since September 2011.
