A nostalgic photo also showed the sporty pair beaming with pride as they clutched gleaming trophies. Steffi could be seen wearing a pastel blue silk gown with elegant capped sleeves, while Andre looked smart dressed in a tuxedo with an impressive mane of hair falling down to his shoulders.

The pair were formally introduced to one another at a post-tournament ball after they both won the Wimbledon singles titles. They started dating shortly after the US Open in 1999 and later walked down the aisle three years later in Las Vegas.

Speaking to E! about their enduring love story, Andre previously said: "We love cooking together. We love hiking together. We even love grocery shopping together, dividing and conquering. So it's real life. And we're blessed."

The father-of-two continued: "I think it's like success in life or in anything you do. I think there's a determination you have to be in the most of yourself, in balance of the most of what somebody needs from you, giving what it is you have to give and not attempting to give what you don't. But not leaving anything in the tank when you can give it right."
