‘Good news for everyone’: Australian tennis star splits from husband, creates OnlyFans account | World news

Arina Rodionova, a Russian-born tennis player from Australia, and her husband, former Australian rules footballer Tyrone Vickery, have announced their separation, with the announcement coming just days after she made her debut on OnlyFans, an adult-only website .

In a video uploaded to her Instagram, Rodionova and Vickery – who married in December 2015 – noted that they had been separated for ‘more than a year’.

“Hey guys, we have a quick announcement to make: we’re getting divorced. We’ve been separated for over a year. Friends and family know, but we just wanted to let the wider community know about this situation,” Rodionova said in the video.

Vickery added: “Yeah, we’re good… we’re good with each other. Wishing each other the best. Thank you for your support.”

Without turning around, Rodionova shook hands with Vickery, who was holding a half-eaten banana. Instead of shaking her hand, he placed the banana there and they broke into laughter.

Later, Rodionova shared a video of herself from a plane out of Sydney, Australia’s largest city, with the message: “Bye Australia, love you always.”

It was on January 12 when she announced the creation of her OnlyFans account.

“Good news for everyone who asked, “My OnlyFans account was verified, so here we go. Let’s do this,” she wrote on Instagram.

In her bio on the adults-only platform, Rodionova calls herself a tennis player ‘but a fun one’.

Last year, Rodionova revealed she was ‘urged’ by a fan to move to OnlyFans, in what the former described as ‘the best compliment’.

“Quit tennis, you will make more money with OnlyFans. That was the best compliment I got this year,” Rodionova mentioned in a vlog with tennis player Daria Kasatkina.
