HEARTBREAKING: Tennis player Andre Agassi shares the problems in his marriage, saying, “I regret ever knowing you.”
In 2001, the tennis power couple got married.
Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi are a match made in heaven.
The two did not get married until ten years after he was allegedly “taken by” the fellow tennis player in the early 1990s.
In an interview with Forbes India, Agassi—who was previously married to actress Brooke Shields—said that accepting Graf’s marriage proposal was the “highest point of his life.”
He said, “She was the hardest to win.”
Agassi said he admired Graf “from a distance and marveled at her” at an early age in an interview with The Cut in 2014. The tennis power couple were married in 2001 and have two kids together. Both of them have since retired from the game.
Our shared values and fundamental outlook on life have been the things that have stood the test of time. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than excellent,” Agassi said of him and Graf to Parade. “I feel overwhelmed by the joy that I experience every day, but I don’t feel like I have any answers about how to have successful relationships.”
Agassi posted a picture of the pair ringing in the new year together on Instagram in January 2024. He put, “With Love ❤️,” as the caption.
Here is all the information you need to understand Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf’s relationship, from their initial encounter to their marriage and family life.
Before they met, Agassi harbored feelings for Graf.
Before he ever met his future bride, Agassi had a crush on her. In his biography Open, he writes, “I’ve had a crush on Steffi since I first saw her doing an interview on French TV.” “Her subtle grace and effortless beauty left me speechless and awestruck.”
Agassi attempted to communicate his sweetheart after the 1991 French Open. In his book, he said, “But she didn’t respond.”
The same year they won Wimbledon, they were properly debuted.
When Agassi won his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 1992, he got the opportunity to meet Graf. In the same year, she took home the women’s singles tennis championship. Agassi had been hearing about the Wimbledon Ball for years, and he was “dying to go” since the men’s and women’s winners would dance together. He was told that the dance had been canceled, even though he had bought a tuxedo for the occasion from Harrods.
“A formal introduction will serve as a sort of consolation match, but I don’t get to dance with Steffi. All night long, I anticipate it. In his book, he wrote, “Then it happens.” “I hope Steffi didn’t misinterpret my intentions when I tried to contact her at the French Open last year,” I said, shaking her hand. “I’d really like to talk to you some time,” I say.
