Shane flew out of Australia on Thursday with his three children for what he said would be a prolonged holiday.Arriving at Melbourne airport, the usually chatty Warne made it clear he wasn't going to answer any questions about his relationship with Elizabeth.
However, he did say of the trip: 'We're going to have a good time - we're going to be away for ages.'
A friend of the 44-year-old sportsman told Australia's Herald Sun newspaper that Warne had told him he was confident he could patch things up.
The source said: 'The constant travel and work commitments for both Elizabeth and Shane are taking their toll. They have not been able to spend much time together, but they are going to try and work things out.'
And despite claims that Warne's close friendship with ex-wife Simone Callahan is at the root of his relationship issues with Elizabeth, the source insisted Simone has nothing to do with the high profile couple's difficulties.

The friend added: 'Shane and Simone have a civil relationship that revolves around their three children.'
Miss Callahan has been calling around at Warne's beachside mansion in Melbourne - where he had intended setting up home with Miss Hurley - almost daily to visit the children, Brooke, 14, Jackson, 12 and Summer, 10, who have been staying at times with their father.
On Wednesday, when Warne cancelled a media appearance at which he was to 'star', Miss Callahan called around at the house to collect the children and take them to school.

Family home: The property was not just a love nest but a place for both of their families
On hold?: The couple's plans to renovate the property had been recently accepted
Warne's trip to England comes amid claims that if he and Elizabeth did break up, the split would be complicated by the fact that they own a £6million country estate together.
The property - Donnington Hall at Ledbury in Herefordshire – which is under both their names was paid for in cash last September.
According to the Mirror neither Liz nor Shane are willing to give up the 13 bedroom property.
A source told the paper: ‘They both love the property so neither would want to relinquish it.’
Just last week reports emerged that the pair had been granted permission to dramatically renovate their love nest.
With plans submitted for a luxurious garden room and a complete interior redecoration, Liz and Shane were hoping Donnington Hall would be fit to house their big family.

On Wednesday the couple sent mixed messages on Twitter in the wake of their alleged split.
While Elizabeth appeared to confirm she and the cricketer were no longer together by telling her followers that the events were 'too raw and personal to share right now', Warne seemed to directly contradict her by insisting that the pair hadn't 'thrown in the towel just yet'.
Shane, 44, had written on Twitter on Wednesday: 'Some of the reports re EH & me r absolute rubbish. Yes, we're sorting through some (private) issues. But we're not throwing the towel in yet.'
Meanwhile, Elizabeth, 48, used Twitter to apologise for her silence on the recent speculation, before stepping out looking chic with a broad smile on her face.
