Happy birthday, Steffi Graf! The tennis legend celebrated her 57th birthday on June 14, and among the very first to pay tribute was none other than her doting husband.
Andre Agassi, 56, took to social media to commemorate his ultra-private wife's big day with a tender throwback of the pair kissing at an event.
Andre's sweet tribute
"Happy Birthday to my unicorn," he sweetly wrote beside the snap, with fans quickly dubbing them the "best couple," and sharing more birthday wishes for Steffi as well.
"Two fav players! Happy birthday!" one commented, with another adding: "Happy birthday to the one and only Tennis God," and a third also saying: "Happy Birthday the GOAT!"
Andre and Steffi's marriage
Andre and Steffi, who won 22 Grand Slam titles between them before retiring from professional tennis, have been married since 2001 and share two kids. They now live in Las Vegas, although their athletic edge has since transferred over to pickleball.
"Well, it's easy to be champions when you choose your opponents," Andre told E! News after he and Steffi won a tournament in Florida in 2024. "It was a great outlet for us. We do love doing it, we love doing it together."
The pair, who share children Jaden and Jaz, are very particular about making sure they carve out time for activities as a couple. "We love cooking together. We love hiking together. We love even grocery shopping together, dividing and conquering. So it's real life. And we're blessed," he gushed, saying they "cherish" their relationship "every day."

As for the secret to their two-decade marriage? "Choose wisely," he quipped at first. "No, I mean, I think it's like success in life or in anything you do."
"I think there's a determination you have to be in the most of yourself, in balance of the most of what somebody needs from you, giving what it is you have to give and not attempting to give what you don't. But not leaving anything in the tank when you can give it right."
Andre added: "There's a respect, there's a discipline, there's a commitment. And then you need two that are doing that, everything else will get in balance. And we work on it every day, and I'll never stop."

And that has a principle that has remained throughout the years. Speaking with Parade way back in 2007, he noted that they especially thrive because of all the common ground they share. "What has transcended everything has been the common ground we share and our basic approach toward life," he noted.
"It's better to be lucky than good sometimes. I don't feel like I have any answer to how to have successful relationships, but I do feel overwhelmed with the joy that I feel every day." Andre also couldn't stop himself from gushing over his wife.

I pour myself into something, and I get crazy with it, and then I get burned out, and I sort of have to regroup. She stays the course in a way that allows me to jump around in a big safety net."
