"I married a very controlling person": Shields continues to share details of failed marriage to Andre Agassi

Brooke Shields, first wife of Andre Agassi, continues to share details about her marriage to the retired tennis star.

The duo started dating in 1993, before getting married in 1997. However, their union lasted only two years, with the pair getting divorced in 1999. Shields opened up about her marriage in a recent interview on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast.

“My first husband, you know, it’s like, people say you marry your father or whatever that thing is," said Shields. "I married a very controlling person.

"I married an industry. I married a conglomerate, you know. I could disappear in it, and I loved it. And I needed it. Andre and I laughed a lot too, which was great."

Following their split, Agassi would begin dating and eventually marry WTA legend Steffi Graf in 2001. The duo are still together, and have two children.
