He claimed that when he was in the process of divorcing Shields, the Pretty Baby actress put a picture of Graf’s legs in a heart-shaped magnet on the fridge because those were the legs she was striving for. Agassi noted, “That’s the universe screaming,” adding, “It’s a bullhorn.”

Graf was overcome with emotion after Agassi introduced her at her International Tennis Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2004. "As I attempt to find words worthy to introduce the person that has changed my life, I realize the words have yet to be invented that are large enough, colorful enough, or true enough to express the heart and soul of this woman that I love," Agassi said in his speech.
They have two kids

The couple welcomed the first of their two children, son Jaden Gil Agassi, in October 2001, followed by their daughter, Jaz Elle Agassi, on Oct. 3, 2003. He revealed in his book that after their daughter was born, he and his wife, like they had done with their son, secretly vowed that Jaz wouldn’t play tennis. Although their son didn’t follow in their tennis footsteps, Jaden plays another sport. In 2019, the baseball player signed with the University of Southern California, while his proud mom and dad stood behind him.
According to Agassi, his kids never had a moment where they realized that their parents were famous — instead, they eventually began to understand why people would come up to them and want to talk to him and Graf in public.
While talking to PEOPLE in March 2024, Agassi said, "You go through a whole phase of them going, ‘Well, this makes no sense that the people are coming up as if there’s a big deal.' And then they start to put together why it's a big deal."
He continued, "They start to realize they're looking behind the Wizard of Oz curtain and they realize it's not all that. So there's a healthy balance that kind of is inevitable through the whole process.”
Career
Given his family background, Jaden’s athletic career is of significant public interest.
However, unlike his parents’ careers, Jaden’s path doesn’t involve individual sports but a team-oriented sport, which might differ in terms of personal spotlight and pressure.
though he is still in the early stages of his career, Jaden is ranked no. 172 overall, and No.2 in Nevada, according to Perfectgame.org.
Jaden Agassi appeared in 13 games and made 9 starts for the USC Trojans. During this time, he pitched to a 1-1 record with 22 strikeouts in 34.1 innings of work. Additionally, he finished the season with a 3-2 record and a 4.34 ERA in 15 appearances, including 10 starts.
Early Life and Career Beginnings
Stefanie Maria Graf was born on June 14, 1969 in Mannheim, West Germany, the daughter of Heidi Schalk and Peter Graf. Her father was an aspiring tennis coach, introducing Graf to the game by teaching her how to wield a wooden racket at the age of three. At the age of four, she began practicing on court, and entered her first tournament when she was five. Soon enough, she was winning the top prize at numerous junior tournaments.

Graf began 1988 by defeating Chris Evert and winning the Australian Open, not losing a single set during the tournament. She then won the tournament in Berlin, defended her title at the French Open, and conquered Wimbledon by coming from behind to defeat Navratilova. Finally, upon winning the US Open, Graf took the Grand Slam title, the only such title in history completed across three surfaces: clay, hard court, and grass. The cherry on top of this honor came during the summer Olympic Games in Seoul, where Graf beat Gabriela Sabatini in the gold medal match, and became the first and only Golden Slam winner in history.
