Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf have two children: Jaden Gil Agassi (born October 26, 2001) and Jaz Elle Agassi (born October 3, 2003).
Here’s a look at their lives, careers, and their bond with their parents:
Jaden Gil Agassi
Early Life / Upbringing
Jaden grew up in Las Vegas, largely away from the limelight, though he always sensed his parents were famous. He learned gradually what their public lives meant.
Career Path
Unlike his parents, Jaden did *not* go into tennis. He pursued baseball. He played college baseball at the University of Southern California. In more recent years he has played in leagues such as the MLB Draft League.
In 2025, Jaden represented Germany (his mother Steffi Graf’s native country) in the World Baseball Classic Qualifiers.
Personality & Interests
He seems to embrace a more public, athletic path than his sister. He has a girlfriend named Catherine Holt, and the family shares moments from his life (e.g. their pet dog, relationship milestones) openly.
Jaz Elle Agassi
Early Life / Public Profile
Jaz leads a much more private life. She was born in 2003 and also grew up in Las Vegas. She does occasionally appear in public with her parents or for special family events.
Interests / Activities
Jaz did not take up tennis as a competitive pursuit—her parents decided early on that they wouldn’t push tennis on the children.
Instead, she enjoys things like dancing, horseback riding, snowboarding, being outdoors, and animals.
Parenting Approach & Bond with Parents
No Pressure to Follow the Tennis Path
Despite being the children of two of tennis’s greatest, Agassi and Graf have consistently said they didn’t force the sport on Jaden or Jaz. They wanted them to choose their own path
Fame vs Family
The kids understand their parents’ fame, but the family has tried to maintain a grounded life. For example, when people recognize Steffi or Andre in public, the children sometimes wonder why there’s fuss — and gradually they see the “behind the curtain” side.
Emotional Closeness
There are small but telling moments:
Andre treasures a beaded necklace Jaden made when he was about 4 saying “Daddy rocks”.
The family shares celebrations — birthdays, family trips — and respect each other’s choices in life.
Values
There’s a clear emphasis on unconditional love rather than tying love to performance. Andre has spoken out about how dangerous it is to make a child feel loved only if they perform or achieve.
In short, Jaden and Jaz are carving out their own identities: Jaden in baseball, Jaz more privately with her passions. Their parents, both once under intense pressure themselves, appear determined to let them be themselves and support them gently. The bond is warm and grounded, combining respect, love, and freedom rather than fame or obligation.
