Andy Roddick and his wife, Brooklyn Decker, recently made a rare public appearance together at the Wimbledon Championships in London, marking a special moment for the couple.
The retired tennis star, 42, and the actress and model, 38, were spotted enjoying day 6 of the prestigious Grand Slam tournament on Saturday, July 5.
A Stylish Wimbledon Look
For the occasion, Roddick donned a sharp gray blazer paired with navy pants and a purple and green tie — a nod to Wimbledon’s iconic colors. Decker complemented her husband’s look in a chic navy top and pants with white pinstripes.
The couple looked every bit the stylish duo as they joined a host of celebrities at one of the most iconic sporting events in the world.
A Long-Lasting Relationship
Roddick and Decker, who are rarely seen together in public, have been a strong couple for years. They began dating in 2007, got engaged in 2008, and tied the knot in 2009. The couple shares two children: son Hank, 9, and daughter Stevie, 7.
Despite their busy careers, they have maintained a private family life, making this rare Wimbledon appearance even more special for their fans.
Roddick’s Wimbledon Regret
Although Roddick has enjoyed a successful tennis career, he has often expressed regret over his three Wimbledon final losses to Roger Federer in 2004, 2005, and 2009.
Speaking about the 2009 defeat, which was a five-set thriller, Roddick revealed to PEOPLE in 2024 that winning Wimbledon would have provided him with the sense of closure he wanted.
“I would’ve been happier, have no regrets,” he admitted. “I’m not greedy like the rest of these guys, like Rafa [Nadal] and Roger. And Novak [Djokovic]. I only wanted one more. If I could have won two more points at Wimbledon, I think I would think backwards a lot less.”
A Successful Career
Despite his close calls at Wimbledon, Roddick remains proud of his career. He won the US Open in 2003 and had a successful 12-year run as a pro tennis player.
Reflecting on his career, Roddick told PEOPLE, “I rest well at night,” adding that he is content with what he accomplished in the sport. He may not have won Wimbledon, but his impact on the tennis world is undeniable.
A Rare Public Moment
Roddick and Decker’s appearance at Wimbledon was a rare public outing for the couple, who usually keep their personal lives private. Their appearance together at such a high-profile event was a treat for fans, showing that despite the years, their bond remains strong.
