Andy Roddick and Brooklyn Decker's Relationship Timeline
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.”

“Honestly, it’s not romantic, but you have to schedule it,” the former US Open champ told Us. “Honestly, kind of everything revolves around your kids, and a couple of careers. We do try to do a good job of saying, ‘Hey, next Wednesday we’re going to go out and enjoy each other.’ Enjoy the silence of no children around, and enjoy not picking stuff up off the floor, unless we do it.’ So, scheduling matters when you’re this far out and have a couple of kids.”

She added at the time: “I do think it’s easy to get caught up in the management of life, home, children, all of it. However, we do set aside time. … We prioritize it, but I think we could all do a better job.”

In addition to gushing about their romance, the Andy Roddick Foundation entrepreneur praised their children.
“I think our daughter is pretty fiery [which] I tended to be on the court. I think we're both, pretty stubborn so maybe I think our daughter might be a little bit more like me [and] our son is very sweet and empathetic like his mother, but I think they're bits of both us in both of them,” he said, noting they are “happy” with two kids. “I don't think we know [if we’ll have more kids]. I normally just follow orders from my wife so we'll see what happens.”

The actress made goofy faces in all the snaps, while her husband looked unimpressed or away from the cameras. “🥰 Happy Anniversary to my husband who is not on Instagram so will never see this,” she added.
