Sloane Stephens and Jozy Altidore are divorcing after four years of marriage, according to a report from ESPN.
Former US Open champion Stephens and former U.S. men’s national team forward Altidore have decided to part ways, with Stephens announcing the news to followers on Instagram this past Saturday. In her post, she stated, “Jozy and I have decided to end our marriage.” She added that she is approaching this transition with mutual respect and is asking for privacy, while expressing gratitude for the support and understanding she has received.
Stephens, 32, captured the 2017 US Open title and was the runner-up at the 2018 French Open. Altidore, 36, had a prolific career with the U.S. men’s national team, scoring 42 goals in 115 appearances between 2007 and 2019, and he has played extensively in Major League Soccer and abroad.
If you’d like, I can add a bit more context about their athletic achievements or discuss how public figures share personal news while balancing fans’ interest with privacy.
