Paradorn Srichaphan splits with beauty queen wife Natalie Glebova

Former Thai pro tennis star Paradorn Srichaphan and beauty queen wife Natalie Glebova are calling it quit after three years of marriage.

The couple said in a statement last week that they decided to split last July because work commitments had kept them apart.

The celebrity couple were at Thailand Channel 3's Tee Sip (At Ten) studio as they made their first public announcement about their divorce

The former world no.9 ranked tennis player and former Miss Universe have launched beauty products, diet supplements and a Bangkok restaurant together. They said in the statement they planned to continue to do business with one another.

The pair met at the Thailand Open on the ATP Tour in 2006, a year after Glebova was crowned Miss Universe and were married in September 2007, the year that Srichaphan's tennis career ended due to a wrist injury.

Paradorn Srichaphan's wife on the Amazing Race Asia 3

The Amazing Race Asia is coming back for the third season!

I'm not so into this franchise reality show simply because it's filled with 'beautiful' contestants who are usually models, celebrities and gwai lous (caucasians).

One of the contestant in the new season, scheduled to be on TV this September, is a familiar face. She's Natalie Glebova, former Miss Universe in 2005 and also Thailand’s highest ranking (and once world #9) tennis player Paradorn Srichaphan.

Paradorn and Natalie, the husband and wife team

Naturally, Paradorn was her first choice for a teammate. "But during the application period, he was busy with his tennis training as he's hoping to go back on tour next year," she explained.

As Natalie was gagged by the show's confidentiality clauses, she said Paradorn discovered her participation only two weeks ago, when it was officially announced.

So how did she keep it from her hubby?

"I travel a lot, hosting and presenting TV shows. It's been like this ever since we started dating, so he thought I was just going for work again."

"He was shocked when he found out (I was on the show). We had a good laugh about it."

She gushed that married life is 'really good' and Paradorn is a 'great husband who cares for her'.

The couple are planning to start a a family soon.

Awww... isn't that sweet?
