Ashley Harkleroad (40), who first made headlines as an adult magazine model while still an active tennis player, has divorced her second husband.

The UK's 'The Sun' reported on the 23rd (Korea time) that "Harkleroad, who was ranked 39th in the world, is celebrating her freedom after separating from her husband Chuck Adams, a former coach who is 14 years her senior."

Harkleroad remarried Adams in 2009 and maintained a marriage for over 16 years, raising two teenage children. However, the couple filed for divorce papers with the court earlier this month citing "irreconcilable differences in personality."

Previously, she married fellow professional tennis player Alex Bogomolov Jr. at the early age of 19 for her first marriage. Facing this second breakup, she has now resolved to live a self-directed life in her own way.

Harkleroad stated, "Since I first got married at 19, I spent most of my life obeying men such as my father and husband. (Adams) is a wonderful father and a lifelong friend, but now it is time for me to live my life my way. I deserve to enjoy freedom."

Meanwhile, Harkleroad caused a major stir in 2008 by becoming the first active player to pose for an adult magazine 'Playboy' pictorial. At the time, Harkleroad confidently declared, "It was a decision I made after careful consideration. I am proud of my body and it is empowering for female athletes."
