Tennis legend Andre Agassi has shared a loving tribute to his wife Steffi Graf in honour of her 56th birthday.
To mark the special occasion at the weekend, Andre, 55, uploaded a smitten picture of the pair sharing a romantic kiss while perched on a cream sofa. Steffi was shown with one arm placed on her husband's knee, while Andre was pictured sweetly beaming with his hands clasped together.
Exuding elegance, former world no. 1 Steffi donned a pair of navy flared trousers which she teamed with a rippling cream blouse. She had her flaxen locks styled in gentle waves and rounded off her ensemble with some leather peep-toe sandals.
Andre, meanwhile, looked smart wearing indigo jeans, black leather boots and a grey knitted jumper.
In honour of his wife's milestone, the American tennis star wrote in his caption: "Happy birthday to my unicorn". His post went down a treat with his followers, including his wife who was quick to pen "Awwww" followed by a red heart and a smiley emoji.

On her big day, Steffi also received a special message from JOOLA Pickleball whom she's previously partnered with. Alongside a collage of recent snapshots, a message read: " Happy birthday, @stefaniegrafhq! It's an honor to grow the game of pickleball alongside not only a legend, but someone so kind and full of heart. Here's to another year filled with special memories on and off the court."

Andre had a crush on Steffi before he'd even met her in person. In his memoir, Open, the father-of-two admitted: "I've had a crush on Steffi since I first saw her doing an interview on French TV. I was thunderstruck, dazzled by her understated grace, her effortless beauty."

Andre had been eagerly awaiting the dance, and had reportedly even purchased a tuxedo from Harrods in preparation.

Speaking to E! about his enduring love story with Steffi, Andre previously said: "We love cooking together. We love hiking together. We even love grocery shopping together, dividing and conquering. So it's real life. And we're blessed."
