Australian tennis player Arina Rodionova and former Australian Football League star Ty Vickery announced their divorce in a video posted to their social media on Wednesday.
Rodionova said the two had been separated for about a year after nine years of marriage. Vickery, who was eating a banana, said they wished each other “the best” and thanked their friends, family and fans for their support.

Rodionova then went to shake Vickey’s hand. The AFL player decided to try to give him the banana.
“Life happens. We love each other a lot, but sometimes it’s not enough,” he wrote in the caption of the video, which was posted on Instagram.
The New York Post noted that the divorce came almost two weeks after Rodionova announced the launch of her Onlyfans account.
“Good news for everyone asking. My Onlyfans account was confirmed so here we go. Let’s do it,” she said in a previous Instagram post.

A day after the divorce announcement, she wrote on her Instagram Stories that now would be a good time to start some racy posts from her trip to the Maldives.
“With all these articles going around… this seems like a good time to start posting all those bikini photos from the Maldives… on my Onlyfans account, obviously.”

Vickery played for Richmond and Hawthorn from 2009 to 2017. He finished with 160 goals in 125 career games.
