Victoria Azarenka and Redfoo started dating each other in 2012, but the couple broke up two years later, in June 2014. Since then, Victoria Azarenka has time and again spoken about the hardships that 2014 brought to her life. During that year, she not only faced troubles off the court but also missed almost 24 matches due to her foot and knee injuries. She was brought down from world number 1 to becoming the 31 in the world.
In an interview with The New York Times in 2015 she revealed, “I did get my heart broken; I really did. I’m over it, but it was broken. And I’m not afraid to admit that it was, but it’s life.”
She then took up painting to cope with all the negativities that were happening in her life at that time. But what was the actual reason for their breakup? Here’s what Redfoo had to say.
