Brooke and Andre Agassi during The 23rd Annual People's Choice Awards, 1997Shields and Agassi said "I do" in 1997, after dating for two years. By this time, her career was flourishing as an actor and model. Despite her success, being a young woman in this industry is hard, with societal pressures and negative feedback about your looks coming from all directions.Â
In chapter six of the book, she recalled, âI was very specifically told I was not runway-worthy, because I wasnât skinny enough." âBeing told you are âthe face,â you begin to believe thatâs all you are â a face. From the neck up, I was Brooke Shields, but it was like my body existed in a different reality," the Blue Lagoon star explained.

But when she asked, âWill you still love me if Iâm big and fat?â (referring to pregnancy weight gain), Agassiâs response was blunt: "I love you too much to let you get big and fat!â

Shields has said in the past that she sent him suggestions to make the book more accurate after he asked for her input, "Everything was just off," she recalled on the podcast "WTF."Â
But according to Shields, she got a letter in response where Agassi said, "I couldn't change any of the things that you corrected because that's not how I remember it, and it is my book." They haven't talked since.Â
