Personal and family life
Agassi dated famed American singer Barbra Streisand in the early 1990s before marrying actress Brooke Shields on April 19, 1997. That February, they had filed suit against The National Enquirer claiming it printed "false and fabricated" statements about the couple. The case was dismissed. He later filed for divorce from Shields, which was granted on April 9, 1999.
After the divorce was finalized, Agassi began dating retired tennis star Steffi Graf. They were married on October 22, 2001. Their son, Jaden Gil, was born on October 26 the same year. Their daughter, Jaz Elle, was born on October 3, 2003.
The couple live in Las Vegas and own several vacation homes. They paid U.S.$23 million to purchase a six-bedroom, eight-bathroom house in Tiburon, California from John E. McCaw Jr., former owner of Cellular One. The home was recently sold for U.S.$20 million. Agassi used to own a 10-seat Lockheed JetStar 731 jet with call letters on the tail representing his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon (N-792AA) .
Agassi's older sister, Rita, was married to the late former tennis legend Pancho Gonzales. In 1995, when Gonzales died in Las Vegas, Agassi paid for the funeral.
Agassi is also a staunch Democrat and has donated over $108,200 to different Democratic candidates.
