Brooke Shields she never had a child with her ex-husband, Andre Agassi – a decision, he says, turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
“I’m glad I never got pregnant with my first husband because that would have been a disaster,” Shields, 59, wrote in her latest memoir. Brooke Shields must not age: Thoughts on aging as a womanpublished on Tuesday, January 14th. “He made that very clear when we divorced.
Shields claimed in her book that Agassi, 54, told her to “be thankful we don’t have kids” when they broke up, “because I wouldn’t make it easy for you”.
“Well, thanks for the treat, I thought,” Shields joked in the memoir. “You just made this particular transition so much easier!”
Shields was married to Agassi from 1997 to 1999 and has spoken at length about their tumultuous relationship. referring to it on many occasions in this book. (Agassi, ex professional tennis playerhe was married Steffi Graf since 2001)
“One of the reasons I married Andre was because I liked being in a relationship with someone more famous than I was,” Shields explained elsewhere in the memoir. “After a lifetime of always being the center of attention, it was a relief to be able to slip into the background a bit. He was also a gallant fellow, and I liked that.”
Shields, on the other hand, called her marriage a “controlling, rigid relationship” and shared a discussion she had with Agassi about her body.
“When I confessed my insecurities to my first husband, he always said, ‘I wish you could see yourself the way I see you.’ However, when I said, ‘Will you still love me when I’m big and fat?’ I could never have expected his reaction,” Shields wrote, identifying herself as a pregnant woman.
According to Shields, Agassi’s response was, “I love you too much to let you get big and fat!”
Shields acknowledged that it was an “unfair question” but “definitely didn’t anticipate” that answer.
“I started spinning a little,” she continued. “But we all know how that relationship turned out, so let’s move on.
After their divorce, Shields moved on with Chris Henchy. She met Henchy in 1999 “at the gym at Warner Bros.,” while she was still married to Agassi.
“We became friends because we saw each other at that gym from time to time — I was doing Sudden Susan, he was writing for a show on the property — but we didn’t start dating until the next year, after I got divorced,” she wrote.
Shields and Henchy married in 2001 and share two daughtersRowan, 21, and Grier, 18.
