泰国象与太太Natalie Glebova(前环球小姐冠军)决定分居， 两人从去年七月起就决定结束婚姻。 据说外界对两人婚变消息没有很意外，因为一直已经有传泰国象另结新欢， 只是泰国象父亲否认有关报导。 Thai tennis player Paradorn and beauty queen split BANGKOK - IT'S game over for retired Thai tennis star Paradorn Srichaphan and his wife, former Miss Universe Natalie Glebova, who are separating after three years of marriage. The couple said in a statement on Thursday that they decided to split last July because work commitments had kept them apart. 'Over the past few years, responsibilities and work turned our married life in a different direction. However, we still care for each other and we are still good friends,' the couple said in the statement issued by their publicists. The former No. 9-ranked tennis player and Canadian pageant queen 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. They quickly became one of Bangkok's most recognisable celebrity couples and were married in September 2007, the year that Paradorn's tennis career ended due to a wrist injury. Paradorn's father and former coach, Chanachai Srichaphan, was quoted in Thai newspapers as saying the couple continued to share the same house but no longer as husband and wife. Paradorn's dad puts split down to 'irreconcilable differences' An inside source confirmed yesterday that the couple, whose separation was officially announced by their publicist on Thursday, would appear in a prerecorded episode of the "Tee Sip" (Attend) programme, which will be aired by Channel 3 on Tuesday at 10pm. Neither of them could be contacted since Thursday evening, when rumours of their planned divorce started doing the rounds in cyberspace. Paradorn yesterday sent a text message to a Ramkhamhaeng University official saying he would not be available to accept his degree next Friday because he was going abroad. The tennis star has completed a bachelor's degree in political science. Meanwhile, Paradorn's father and former coach Chanachai said the couple had split up because of irreconcilable differences, adding that they had got together far too quickly for things to last. "They had not dated long enough before getting married. However, it was all up to him. The decision was all his own," Chanachai said. "I don't find the news worrying, I've been prepared for this," the father added, dismissing reports that his son's flirtations were the root of all problems. "The media just stirred rumours, and Natalie would get upset when she read the reports. Every man is flirtatious by nature, and because my son is famous, people like flocking to him. But I don't think that was the reason," Chanachai insisted. Meanwhile, Paradorn's brother Thanakorn said the couple had tried to sort things out but it was in vain. They just could not get along, he said. In reality though, their breakup does not come as a surprise to many, because rumours have been swirling through the grapevine about how fragile their marriage was to start with. The two kept brushing aside the gossip, but were rarely seen in social events together recently. --
