Tennis legend Andre Agassi has brought a new burst of joy to his family with the arrival of a furry companion. The retired superstar recently shared a glimpse of an English Cocker Spaniel pup, Copper, who is already making a playful impression in the Agassi-Graf household.
The photo shows the little pup engaged with a stuffed toy, capturing the heartwarming energy of their newest family member.
Which Pets Have Been Part of the Andre Agassi-Steffi Graf Family Over the Years?
Agassi and his wife, fellow tennis icon Steffi Graf, have long been admired for their tennis achievements and tight-knit family life. The couple tied the knot in 2001. That same year, they welcomed their first child, Jaden, followed by their daughter Jaz Elle in 2003.
Over the years, the family has also grown to include pets, which have been a beloved part of their home. Among them was their Great Dane Blue, who sadly passed away last year, and their cat, Sweetie. Copper’s arrival marks a fresh chapter for the family.
In a photo shared by Agassi on Instagram, the Cocker Spaniel pup appears to be engaging with a stuffed toy in what seems to be a playful introduction to his new home. Agassi captioned the picture: “Meet Copper. The newest member of our family ❤️.”

Agassi Reflects on Parenting With Wife Steffi Graf Amid ‘Empty Nest’ Transition
During a Laver Cup press conference, Agassi discussed returning to tennis after focusing for many years on family life with Graf. With their children, Jaden and Jaz, now grown, he explained that entering the “empty nester” phase has allowed him to reconnect with the sport. Since retiring from the tour in 2006, Agassi has devoted much of his time to raising his children and managing the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education.
“I went through a good 15 years of raising my kids and finishing up my foundation in a way that it can live in perpetuity and building a few businesses,” Agassi said. “Now my kids are — we’re kind of empty-nesters, and I had the bandwidth to come back to tennis on a certain level and really appreciate the difference between what it was and what it is now.”
Jaden opted for a baseball career instead of following in his parents’ famed tennis footsteps, steadily building his reputation in the sports world. He shone as a pitcher at the University of Southern California before joining the Mahoning Valley Scrappers in the MLB Draft League.
Meanwhile, Jaz has explored a variety of interests, including dance, fashion, and fitness training. Yet, she maintains ties to tennis, frequently sharing moments from her time on the courts.
