Andre Agassi is regarded as one of tennis’ elite players. The eight-time grand slam winner and his tennis celebrity wife, Steffi Graf, are living a contented and prosperous life together. However, his first marriage to Hollywood actress, Brooke Shields, was not successful.

The former world number one tied the knot with Brooke Shields in 1997. Unfortunately, Shields filed for divorce from Agassi after a brief marriage citing personal reasons. Despite their personal issues, the Hollywood star once clarified why the 52-year-old was not wrong in nature.

Brooke Shields states the kind of person her ex-husband Agassi is

Back in January 2016, Brooke Shields once appeared on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ show. The 57-year-old spoke about her ex-husband’s famous memoir, ‘Open: An Autobiography.’ 

During the interview, host Andy Cohen, claimed that the actress was portrayed negatively in the memoir, to which Shields responded by saying that it wasn’t as awful as it could have been and that it wasn’t Agassi’s purpose. “With all due respect, I did not come across as badly as people might have thought that he wanted. That’s not who he is. He’s not an evil person.” said the American actress.
