Former Australian tennis star Arina Rodionova announces divorce, sets up OnlyFans account

A former Australian tennis player revealed she is divorcing her ex-Australian Football League player husband while teasing her newly created OnlyFans account in a bizarre video on Wednesday.

Arina Rodionova took to her Instagram account to share her separation from Ty Vickery after 9 years of marriage shortly after being eliminated from the Australian Open.

“Hey guys, we have a quick announcement to make, we’re getting divorced,” Rodionova said nonchalantly.

Vickery smirked as he sat in the background holding a half-eaten banana.

“Life happens. We have lots of love for each other but sometimes it’s just not enough,” she wrote in the post.

The couple had been separated for a year — with their family and friends knowing — but wanted to share the divorce news with her 25,000 social media followers.

“We’re good, we’re good with each other, wish each other the best,” Vickery added.

Rodionova awkwardly brought her hand back to Vickery who placed the banana in her hand as the two burst into laughter.

Rodionova, who followed up her video post with an Instagram Story from a plane.

“Bye Australia, love you always,” she wrote, saying she spared her followers by going through her breakup without sharing inspirational quotes.

The 35-year-old Russian-born tennis player was eliminated from the Australian Open Qualifiers earlier this month in a straight-set loss to German Eva Lys.

The couple were married in December 2015, hours after Rodionova won a wildcard spot in the 2016 Australian Open Qualifying tournament.

Before launching the OnlyFans account, several recent Instagram posts featured Rodionova in risque poses and other racy acts.

Rumors of the divorce began spreading around her fans when she announced the creation of her adult fan site on Jan. 12.

“Good news for everyone who was asking. My OnlyFans account was confirmed so here we go. Let’s do this,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

In her bio on the site, Rodionova calls herself a tennis player “but a fun one.”

Rodionova’s career change may have been influenced by a fan who pointed out she could make better money off the court.

“Stop with tennis, you’ll make more money with OnlyFans,” she said during a vlog appearance last year, calling it “the best compliment” of the year.

Rodionova’s singles career saw little success but she made it to the quarterfinals at the Australian Open in both women’s and mixed doubles.

Last year – at 34 years old – Rodionova became the oldest woman to make a top 100 debut, earning the 97 spot in the women’s singles ranking.

Rodionova was the highest-ranked Australian woman during her short-lived run in the top 100. 

She is currently ranked 184 in the WTA rankings.
