Attending the Gentlemen’s Singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, the Grand Slam champion was accompanied by fellow tennis player Justin Gimelstob. Noticeably absent from Centre Court was Andre’s wife of 23 years and fellow Wimbledon icon, Steffi Graf.
Andre and Steffi, who tied the knot in 2001, first met at Wimbledon in 1992, making the grounds particularly sentimental for them. They have two children together: a daughter named Jaz and a son named Jaden.
Less than 24 hours before his appearance at Centre Court, Andre had shared a heartfelt tribute to Steffi on Instagram. He posted a video in which he highlighted Steffi’s numerous achievements, captioning it with a love heart emoji, which resonated deeply with fans.
“I just love how much you admire her in every way. She was my all-time favourite growing up,” wrote one. “Steffi is the greatest of all time!” noted a second. Meanwhile, a third replied: “Proud husband there!! Legend.”
Andre has also posted a throwback photo from the moment he himself won Wimbledon in 1992. “You’ll deserve it @WIMBLEDON,” he penned in the caption.
“I remember this moment so well. I was a huge fan and was so excited you had finally gotten your Grand Slam!!!” noted a fan. “What a magical moment. I remember it like it was yesterday,” agreed a second.
With an illustrious career, Steffi Graf has clinched seven Wimbledon singles titles, while Andre, the Olympic gold medalist, secured one Wimbledon victory.
The 54-year-old Andre was previously seen courtside at Wimbledon in 2017, accompanied by tennis player Mario Ancic.
In a star-studded outing, Andre’s recent presence at Centre Court coincided with the Princess of Wales’s second public appearance since revealing her cancer diagnosis in March. Other celebrities spotted at Wimbledon included Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia Roberts, Courteney Cox, and Johnny McDaid.
