Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf’s children, Jaden and Jaz Elle Agassi, have recently been seen delighting in moments with their beloved pets. Jaden, along with his girlfriend Catherine Holt, has been spending time with their new French bulldog named Rocky, while Jaz was pictured enjoying time with her horse at a local sanctuary.
As one of tennis’s most celebrated couples, Agassi and Graf have won a combined total of 30 Grand Slam titles, each completing the rare career Golden Slam by capturing all four major championships and Olympic gold. The couple married privately in October 2001, shortly before welcoming their son Jaden, with their daughter Jaz born two years later in 2003.
How Jaden and Jaz Share Their Pet Experiences Online
At 23 years old, Jaden remains active on social media, frequently offering followers insights into his life. He and Holt recently introduced their dog Rocky to the public through Instagram, where they created a dedicated profile for the pet, sharing details about his breed and birthdate.
Conversely, Jaz Elle Agassi, 21, keeps her life more private, mainly sharing brief glimpses in Instagram stories. Her recent posts from Twilight Springs Horse Sanctuary in Las Vegas showed her affectionately spending time with her horse, Jakey.
In contrast to their parents’ tennis legacies, the siblings have pursued different passions. Jaden plays baseball professionally as a pitcher for Team Germany, while Jaz focuses on the arts, fashion, and riding horses.
Jaden Explains Why Baseball Captured His Heart Over Tennis
Jaden opened up about his choice to play baseball instead of tennis during a February interview with MLB.com. He revealed that he began playing baseball at age six because he enjoyed the power and freedom the sport offered, unlike tennis, which demanded precise ball control.
“I started playing baseball when I was six years old in T-ball. I loved it. I’ve picked up a tennis racket a good amount, but it was always hard for me to keep that ball in between the lines. I just wanted to hit that thing as far as I could. Baseball had my love since day one,” said Jaden Agassi.
He further commented on his calm and collected mindset during the game, a trait he attributes to his mother’s influence.
“I think I’m a lot like my mom in the sense of my composure. I’ve always been just very composed and cool, calm, and collected out there. I try to have a short memory. My mindset is the next pitch is the most important one,” Jaden added.
Agassi and Graf’s Life Beyond Tennis: Continued Competition in Pickleball
Although Steffi Graf retired from professional tennis in 1999, and Andre Agassi in 2006, the couple has maintained a competitive streak. They have embraced pickleball, a fast-growing sport, and recently triumphed over a notable team consisting of Andy Roddick and Eugenie Bouchard at the Pickleball Slam 3 event in February.
With Jaden and Jaz following their own unique paths, the family’s shared love for sports and animals remains a central part of their lives, reflecting the vibrant and determined spirit passed down from their parents.
