Steffi Graf Responds to Fan’s Marriage Proposal at Wimbledon

While Steffi lost the match, the tennis star remained in good spirits and joked that the proposal had unsettled her. “I lost the match, so I think I’m going to file for divorce now,” she said, according to the news site. New York Times.

Steffi’s witty response, immortalized forever, came five years before she married fellow tennis champion and Olympic gold medalist Andre Agassi. Met at Wimbledon in 1992, the couple didn’t start dating until 1999.

Steffi married fellow tennis champion Andre Agassi in 2001

In 2001, Andre and Steffi married in a low-key ceremony at their home. That same year, their son, Jaden Gil Agassi, was born in October, and in 2003, the couple welcomed their daughter, Jaz Elle Agassi.

Accustomed to being in the spotlight, Steffi and Andre are pros at interacting with fans, and when Steffi received another offer at the Cluj 2024 exhibition, she and her husband took it in stride.

In a hilarious moment, Steffi declined the offer, wagging her finger at the viewer before pointing at Andre who was a few feet away.

While Steffi and Andre are known for being very private about their relationship, the couple has spoken about each other in interviews. In March 2024, Andre joined E!, where he opened up about their marriage. “We love to cook together. We love to hike together. We even love to go grocery shopping together, divide and conquer. So this is real life. And we are blessed,” he began.

Andre revealed the secrets of their 23-year marriage

Asked about the secret to their marriage, Andre said, “Choose wisely. No, I mean, I think it’s like being successful in life or anything you do. I think you have to be determined to give the best of yourself, to balance the most of what someone needs from you, to give what you have to give and not try to give what you don’t have.”

“There’s respect, there’s discipline, there’s commitment,” he continued. “And then it takes two people to do it, everything else will balance itself out. And we work on it every day, and I’ll never stop.”
