"She's never been scared of me": Andre Agassi makes emotional confession about Steffi Graf marriage as…

Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf have spent decades in the spotlight, winning major tennis titles and earning worldwide respect. Yet, away from the court, the couple have built a family life that puts personal happiness ahead of fame.

As they approach their 25th wedding anniversary in October 2026, Agassi has offered a rare glimpse into their relationship and explained how their two children have grown up with a healthy understanding of success. The eight-time Grand Slam champion also shared why his wife continues to support his return to the demanding world of professional tennis.

Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf's marriage stays grounded despite tennis fame Agassi, 56, spoke to HELLO! ahead of the 2026 Laver Cup in London, where he is leading Team World. His return to the tennis spotlight has brought fresh attention to his personal life and his long marriage to Graf, another sporting great.

The couple, who share 30 Grand Slam singles titles between them, have built a private life in Las Vegas. Despite their shared love of tennis, the sport does not always dominate their conversations at home.

Their experience as elite athletes gives them a natural understanding of the demands and pressures that come with competition. Agassi also explained how Graf feels about his latest role in tennis.

Her support comes from understanding what the opportunity means to him, rather than simply celebrating his return to public life."She likes seeing me happy, just like I like seeing her happy," the 56-year-old told us when asked how Steffi feels about his return to the high-stakes environment. "She knows this is a week in Laver Cup that I value, that I bond with, that I connect to.

It's a lot of work, but she's never been scared of me in work [mode]."I always promised her I wouldn't be too busy or too bored - because I'm kind of dangerous in both! She appreciates my connection to it, so she'll smile for a week."Andre Agassi reveals how their children handle famous parents Agassi and Graf have two adult children, Jaden, 24, and Jaz, 22.

Jaden has pursued baseball as a pitcher, while Jaz has interests in dance and equestrian activities. Although both grew up with two internationally recognised athletes as parents, Agassi believes they have developed their own identities without becoming caught up in their family's fame."They got the best seat in the house to realise what life is and what life isn't," Andre reflected.

"They see us, they learn from what we do, not from what we say. And then they see how other people sometimes treat us.

So it's very easy for them to understand ideas of grandeur versus the reality of life."He summed up his pride in their outlook with a simple observation: "They're shockingly balanced," he added proudly. For Agassi, raising grounded children has less to do with giving advice and more to do with setting an example every day.

Their family life shows that public recognition does not have to define personal values. As he takes charge of Team World at the Laver Cup, Agassi is once again embracing the sport that shaped his career.

At home, however, his priorities remain clear: a supportive marriage, independent children and a life that extends well beyond tennis. Stay updated with the latest Asian Games 2026 news, check the Asian Games medal tally and complete Asian Games schedule.
