Actress Brooke Shields has claimed her ex-husband, tennis player Andre Agassi, once embarrassed her with a backhanded compliment.

Shields, 59, was married to the tennis star for two years, from 1997 to 1999, but their relationship eventually ended in divorce.

She opens up about her relationship in her new memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old, where she shared more about her time in the modeling industry and how it gave her body image issues.

“I was told very specifically that I wasn’t runway worthy because I wasn’t thin enough,” Shields wrote in her new book, according to People.

‘When they tell you that you are “the face”, you start to believe that that is all you are: a face. “From the neck up, I was Brooke Shields, but it was as if my body existed in a different reality,” she wrote.

He remembered telling Agassi about these inner thoughts and insecurities.

“When I confessed my insecurities to my first husband, he always said, ‘I wish you could see yourself the way I see you,'” Shields wrote.

‘However, when I said, “Will you still love me if I’m big and fat?” (I mean one time I got pregnant, an unfair question for anyone to ask another person I know!) I could never have expected her response,” she continued.

Shields claimed that Agassi had told her: ‘I love you too much to let you grow up and get fat!’

The Pretty Baby star admitted in the book that it was a response she wasn’t expecting.

“I definitely didn’t see it coming and I have to admit I started to wander around a bit,” Shields wrote, according to the outlet.

“But we all know how that relationship ended,” he added.

After Shields’ divorce from Agassi, she found love with film director Chris Henchy, whom she married in 2001.

The couple share two children, Rowan, 21, and Grier, 18.

However, her first marriage is not the only thing the actress talks about in her new memoir.

She also revealed that a doctor had performed a procedure without her consent while she was undergoing lip surgery.

The mother of two recalled having major discomfort due to the length of her lips, such as chafing and bleeding, which led her to undergo a lip reduction.

“Of course, insurance doesn’t cover it because it’s considered cosmetic, which is very interesting,” she wrote.

“Last time I checked, I didn’t want to be a porn star,” the celebrity joked in the book.

When she visited her Beverly Hills surgeon for a post-surgery checkup, he “proudly” told the model that he had given her “a little double”: vaginal rejuvenation.

However, she had neither requested nor given consent for the procedure.

The Endless Love actress was worried the story was “too graphic or just TMI,” but wanted to spread the word about her experience to potentially help other women.

“If we want to change the way we approach and talk about women’s health, then we need to ask uncomfortable but very real questions,” she explained.

“Shame is no longer an option,” he said.
