In fact, the pair were recently crowned pickleball champions at a tournament in Florida, beating out fellow all-star opponents John McEnroe and Maria Sharapova.
“Well, it’s easy to be champions when you choose your opponents,” the 53-year-old quipped in an exclusive interview with E! News ahead of The Netflix Slam March 3. “But no, it was a great outlet for us. We do love doing it, we love doing it together.”
And it turns out the racket sport is just one of the many mundane activities the two—who share kids Jaden, 22, and Jaz, 20—make a point to do as a couple.

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.”
Andre—who was previously married to Brooke Shields for two years in the late ’90s—continued, “There’s a respect, there’s a discipline, there’s a commitment. And then you need two that are doing that, everything else will get in balance. And we work on it every day, and I’ll never stop.”
