Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf are a love match.
While he was admittedly “taken by” the fellow tennis player in the early 1990s, the pair did not tie the knot until a decade later.
Agassi, who was previously married to actress Brooke Shields, once told Forbes India that the “highest point of his life” was when Graf accepted his marriage proposal.
Speaking to The Cut in 2014, Agassi noted that he respected Graf “from a distance and marveled at her” early on. The tennis power couple, who have both since retired from the sport, went on to wed in 2001 and are now parents of two.
“What has transcended everything has been the common ground we share and our basic approach toward life. It’s better to be lucky than good sometimes,” Agassi told Parade of him and Graf. “I don’t feel like I have any answer to how to have successful relationships, but I do feel overwhelmed with the joy that I feel every day.”
