We present a study of the flavour asymmetry of polarized anti-quarks in the nucleon using the meson cloud model. We include contributions both from the vector mesons and the interference terms of pseudoscalar and vector mesons. Employing the bag model, we first give the polarized valence quark distribution of the $\rho$ meson and the interference distributions. Our calculations show that the interference effect mildly increases the prediction for $\Delta \dbar(x)-\Delta \ubar(x)$ at intermediate $x$ region. We also discuss the contribution of `Pauli blocking' to the asymmetry.
