During a recent episode of Advantage Connors, Jimmy Connors talked about his career before and how things have changed now. Further, they continued to talk about food and the things he loves from the Midwest, giving an example of his wife.

He shared an instance from the past. Connors mentioned, “I’m a Midwest connoisseur of food, When I got married to your mom, your mom fell into that so fast. Because when we would go back to see my mom in Belleville, and she would cook for me, your mom was so on that. And she says, “Is that what he likes? How do you cook that? How do I make that? You think my kids would like that?” She was so on that. And so, for 45 years, you know, I’ve continued.”
