Andre Agassi once revealed his envy towards Michael Jackson

The eight-time Grand Slam winner once revealed his jealousy that involved his ex-wife Brooke Shields and Michael Jackson in his autobiography. “I GO WITH BROOKE to the hospital and wait for her in the recovery room. I’m there when they wheel her in, her feet bandaged like mine before a match, and I’m there when she wakes up.”

“I feel an enormous surge of protectiveness and tenderness—which ebbs when she gets a phone call from her close friend, Michael Jackson. I can’t fathom her continuing friendship with Jackson, given all the stories and accusations.” Talking about their personalities, they were quite similar to each other. Both were successful and at the peak of their fields when they began dating. The tennis prodigy was winning tournaments left and right, and Brooke Shields was constantly hustling on her movie ventures.
