A recent and unusual post on Instagram from former tennis player Arina Rodionova, who is originally from Russia and now lives in Australia, caught public attention. In this particular video, she shared her divorce from footballer Ty Vickery, opting for a light-hearted tone that culminated in laughter after he joked with her.
A humorous and amicable split
In the video, Rodionova addressed the audience, saying, “Hello everyone, we have something to share: we are getting divorced. Life happens. We still care for each other deeply, but sometimes love alone isn’t sufficient. We are okay and wish the best for one another.” During her announcement, she extended her hand, while Vickery, humorously eating a banana, jokingly offered the fruit instead, leading them both to laugh heartily.
Recently, a former tennis player made a significant personal announcement that few were aware of. Just before her retirement, prompted by her exit from the Australian Open against German player Eva Lys, she revealed her decision to step away from the sport. She also shared news about starting an OnlyFans account, a move that seemed anticipated given her tendency to post alluring photos on Instagram. It’s worth noting that some fans speculate this might have been a factor in her recent divorce.
“You can earn more on OF than in tennis”
At 35, Rodionova sits at 184th in the WTA rankings, having peaked at 97th, where she was recognized as the oldest female player in the top 100 and Australia’s highest-ranked player.
While her tennis career may not have reached her aspirations, her lively social media presence, where she describes herself as “a tennis player, but fun,” encouraged her to launch her OnlyFans account. This decision came after a follower suggested she should “quit tennis and focus on OnlyFans for better earnings.”
Eventually, Arina agreed and confirmed her new venture on Instagram on January 12, stating, “Good news for everyone who was asking. My OnlyFans account was confirmed, so here we go. Let’s do it“.
