Tennis star announces divorce and immediately sets up account on adult site

Arina Rodionova, the Australian tennis player, has publicly announced her separation from her husband and has launched an OnlyFans account.

Rodionova, who has won one WTA Tour title and one WTA 125 doubles win, along with 16 singles and 42 doubles triumphs in the ITF Women’s Circuit. She also claimed the Australian Open girls’ doubles title in 2007.

In February 2024, she hit a career peak as World No. 97 in singles and was ranked No.41 in doubles back in 2015. As her professional life starts to slow down at age 35, Rodionova currently ranks No.184 globally.

To maintain income, Rodionova has now joined Onlyfans, a digital platform known for subscription-based personalized content. She shared news of her Onlyfans account and the divorce from Ty Vickery, her spouse of nine years and ex-Australian Football League star, through a video on Wednesday.

She said: “Hey guys, we have a quick announcement to make, we’re getting divorced,” with Vickery passively present, snacking on a banana. She expressed that although they still harbor love for each other, it sometimes proves insufficient.

The couple, who have been living apart for a year, chose this moment to clue in their 25,000 social media fans. Vickery added his sentiments, ensuring their amicable understanding: “We’re good, we’re good with each other, wish each other the best.”

An amusing moment unfolded when Rodionova attempted to pass a banana back to Vickery, only for the two to share a laugh as Vickery helped her. Rodionova then bid farewell to her homeland with an Instagram Story aboard a plane captioned: “Bye Australia, love you always.”

The 35 year old tennis star recently bowed out of the Australian Open during qualifiers after a straight-sets defeat by Germany’s Eva Lys.

Prior to launching an OnlyFans account, she had teased fans with suggestive Instagram snaps. She announced her new OnlyFans venture, stating, “Good news for everyone who was asking. My OnlyFans account was confirmed so here we go. Let’s do this.”

Rodionova once hit a career milestone by reaching the Australian Open quarterfinals in both women’s and mixed doubles events.

Last year, she made headlines as the oldest woman to debut in the top 100 at age 34 and held the title of highest-ranked Australian woman during her brief stint there. In light of her reported personal changes, Rodionova quipped, “This seems like a good time to start posting all my bikini photos from the Maldives… on my OF account obviously.”
