Arina Rodionova and her husband Ty Vickery have announced their divorce in an Instagram video on Wednesday, following a nine-year marriage. The Russian-born tennis veteran, 35, and former AFL player, 34, looked surprisingly at ease as they sat at a table together to inform their fans they are no longer together.

As Ty held a half eaten banana in his hand, Arina took the lead by revealing the pair had been 'separated for about a year' before deciding to get a divorce. 'Hey guys, we have a quick announcement to make. We're getting divorced. We've been separated for about a year,' Arina began the video.

'Friends and family know but we just wanted to let the wider community know about this situation. Thank you.'. Ty, who had been quiet up to this point, then added: 'We're good. We're good with each other and we wish each other the best. Thanks for the support.'.

The former national No. 1, who has since left the country following her Australian Open campaign, captioned the video with a broken heart emoji. 'Life happens. We have lots of love for each other but sometimes it's just not enough,' she wrote. Hours after posting the video to her grid, Arina took to her Instagram Stories with a picture of herself on a flight out of Sydney.
