He said, “Like any good business, a good marriage is one that stays pretty nimble to the seasons of life. You’re asking me about my life at a time when our son went away to college and our daughter is 17 now, and our parents are much older. Life requires you to be partners, so you bet on people—I bet on her and she bet on me and we are grateful every day for that.”

Further, he sarcastically said, “The only thing we are sure about is that we won’t add any more animals to our life. We have three dogs, a hamster, a fish, a bunny, and two stray cats we’ve nurtured in our home and who sleep literally in our room. We have too many heartbeats going on in there.” They may have some free time on their hands. But he most certainly lacks a place to sleep in their own home due to their animals at home.

Agassi opens up about his wife following tennis

Being a tennis player, Graf still likes to follow the sport, and together they have achieved 30 Grand Slam titles. He was also asked about how he and his wife still follow tennis closely and enjoy the sport even today.
