Houston Texans and former Tennessee Vol running back Arian Foster and his wife are divorcing after four years of marriage, according to reports.

More than a year ago, Arian Foster fathered a child with another woman, and he and his wife tried to repair their relationship.

Now, however, the couple are indeed divorcing, as Romina Lombardo Foster filed back on April 22, according to TMZ Sports.

"Romina tells us, “After much thought and soul searching, I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage.”Arian says the two are ending the relationship on extremely good terms — saying the marriage “has been nothing but a gift.”“I’m extremely grateful for the wife, mother and person she was to myself and our children. I will continue to be here and support her wholeheartedly on her next journey as I’m sure she’ll do the same for me.”Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2015/07/20/arian-foster-wife-romina-files-for-divorce/#ixzz3gWxRLvEr"

Foster played for Tennessee from 2005 to 2008 and was not drafted. He was picked up by the Houston Texans as a free agent midway through the 2009 season and began to thrive with them in 2010, picking up four 1,200-plus yard seasons.

Foster’s relationship with Tennessee is rocky just like his marriage apparently was. He was overall a valuable player for the Vols and a team player, and the coaches loved him.

But he had a tendency to fumble at the worst times, including the Outback Bowl on New Year’s Day 2007 against Penn State, the Florida game in 2007, and the UCLA game in 2008.

Then, Foster came out as a pro saying he took money from Tennessee, which many fans and alumni felt was betrayal.

Still, the Vols do no win the 2007 SEC East without the help of Foster, and he was an all-around back who had vision, power, shiftiness, and could block. You don’t always get all of those things in a player.
