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.”
They were formally introduced after winning Wimbledon the same year

Agassi had the chance to meet Graf after winning his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 1992. She won the ladies' singles tennis title at the tournament the same year. Agassi was “dying to go” to the Wimbledon Ball that he’d heard about for years because the men’s winner got to dance with the women’s winner. He even purchased a tuxedo from Harrods for the event, but was informed that the dance had been canceled.
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.
New Dominance, Injuries, and Final Tour Years
After dealing with a series of injuries and losses in the intervening years, Graf came back on top in 1993, winning three of four Grand Slam events in addition to the Virginia Slims championships. She won her first French Open since 1988, and conquered Wimbledon by defeating Jana Novotná. The next year, she won the Australian Open and an assortment of tournaments across the globe. However, while competing (and winning) in San Diego, Graf aggravated a long-time back injury, and developed a bone spur at the base of her spine due to a congenital condition. From 1994 to 1996, various ailments and surgeries disrupted her career, causing her to withdraw twice from the Australian Open. Despite the setbacks, Graf still managed to win a number of titles, including Wimbledon in 1995. The final of that championship is widely recognized as one of the most exciting in women's major finals history, with a dramatic third set that involved a 16-minute long, 13-deuce game.
Graf's final tour years from 1997 to 1999 were plagued with further injuries to her knees and back, causing her to lose her world number one ranking and, for the first time in a decade, the Grand Slam title. After racking up a handful of high-profile wins, Graf finally announced her retirement from the women's tour in 1999, attributing the decision to a loss of motivation.
