Husband speaks out after tennis star wife divorced him to start OnlyFans after a bizarre banana video

The 35-year-old was on the tennis court less than two weeks ago as she was knocked out in the second round of qualifiers in Melbourne.

The Australian, who is ranked 184th in the world and has had a career high of 97, has racked in the money on the tennis circuit but now wants to earn money a different way.

With just over $2.3million made alone from prize money, Rodionova took to social media to confirm her divorce in a strange video before announcing she will be joining OnlyFans.

“We’re getting divorced,” she said in front of her husband who is ex-Aussie rules player Ty Vickery.

“We’ve been separated for about a year. Friends and family know but we just wanted to let the wider community know about this situation. Thank you.

“We’re good. We’re good with each other and we wish each other the best. Thanks for the support.”

The video then took a weird turn as the pair burst into laughter after Rodionova offered her ex-husband a handshake only for him to put a half-eaten banana in her hand instead.

Rodionova and Vickery married in December 2015 just hours after a semi-final win in the Australian Open wildcard qualifier tournament.
