Shields wrote, “We were busy with our individual careers, and our schedules often conflicted. Though we both wanted to have children, the appropriate time never seemed to present itself. Even though a great deal of love existed between the two of us, over time, our lives seemed to become polarized and after two years, our marriage ended. It was a sad but amicable parting, and it was a blessing there were no children involved.”

However, the well-known American celebrity thought that finding genuine love again after a failed marriage was even more of a blessing than having children in her first marriage. The Blue Lagoon actress wed comedic writer Chris Henchy in 1997. Following the divorce, many people had the impression that the Tennis Legend was a bad person.

Agassi was not an evil person

The eight-time Grand Slam winner encountered a lot of backlash during his first divorce as the American actress at the time was more well-liked than the tennis icon. In a January 2016 interview with Andy Cohen, Shields made it plain that the former world number one was not a bad guy. Although their marriage had suffered worse, Shields admitted that nothing was done on purpose to ruin their relationship.
