Don’t you hate it when sand gets stuck to your suntan lotion?

Lucky Czechoslovakian NHL star Petr Nedved managed to persuade Victoria’s Secret supermodel Veronika Varekova to become his wife in 2004. Understandably, the ice hockey pro wanted to be near his wife in New York City, so in 2006 he requested a transfer to the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, this proved to be the kiss of death for their relationship, as they separated. Soon after, Nedved’s career started to peter out and he returned to his home country in 2007, supermodel-less and alone.
