Andy Roddick fell hard for Brooklyn Decker after their first meeting — and their romance has only gotten stronger.
“I was hosting a show for football for Sports Illustrated and he watched it every week and he got his attorney to call my agent at the time and I thought it was very shady as one would,” Decker recalled to the Tennis Channel in July 2017. “And I did not call him back for five months I was living in New York at the time and my now-manager said to me, ‘You have no friends, all your friends are in North Carolina where I grew up and why don’t you call this guy, I hear he’s really nice.’”
The twosome began dating in 2007, nearly one year before Roddick popped the question. They wed in April 2008.
Roddick and Decker, who share son Hank and daughter Stevie, work hard to keep their spark alive.
“I think with work and kids, I think that we’re a really good team,” Roddick gushed to Us Weekly in August 2022. “I think we know that we each try to go above and beyond with our household responsibilities and the kids. And so, I don’t think we ever question either [person’s] effort at all [which] leads to kind of more of a calming situation.”
