Simona Halep getting divorced one year after getting married

According to reports from her native Romania, Simon Halep is divorcing her husband after a brief one-year marriage.

Halep and businessman Toni Iuruc tied the knot in a lavish ceremony last year after she lost at the US Open. Now, after this year's US Open, they are getting a divorce according to reports in Romania. It was first reported by ProSport and the report indicates it will be finalized on Thursday, the 8th of September.

The business was asked by reporters today about the report and he dismissed it saying:

“I don't comment on our private life... No, I'm not getting a divorce tomorrow. Stop insisting, no comment."

There is speculation that the distance between Halep and her husband contributed her to the split as she spends a lot of time away from him on the Tour. Her early exit from the US Open is speculated to contribute to the decision.

The report also suggests that the spouses won't split their fortunes as it was agreed upon before the marriage. The news is a very surprising one as the pair announced a planned religious ceremony in November this year after having a civil marriage last year.
