Australian tennis player Arina Rodionova and former Australian Football League star Ty Vickery announced their separation in a video posted to her social media on Wednesday.

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

A day after the divorce announcement, she wrote on her Instagram Stories that this would be a good time to start with some risqué posts from her trip to the Maldives.
“With all these articles doing the rounds… this seems like a good time to post all those bikini pics from the Maldives… on my OnlyFans account, of course.”
