Brooke Shields has revealed she is "glad" she never had children with her ex-husband Andre Agassi.

The model and actress discussed her first marriage with the former tennis star in her new bombshell memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed To Get Old.

“I’m glad I never got pregnant with my first husband because it would have been a disaster,” Brooke penned in her new book.

“When we got divorced, he made that very clear. 'Be thankful we didn’t have children,’” she recalled. “‘Because I would not have made this easy for you.' Well, thank you for that tidbit, I thought.”

Not only that, the 59-year-old actress called her marriage to Andre a "controlling and rigid relationship."

Brooke added that Andre made fun of her fun body, saying, “I was very specifically told I was not runway worthy because I wasn’t skinny enough.” 

“Being told you are ‘the face,’ you begin to believe that’s all you are — a face. From the neck up, I was Brooke Shields, but it was like my body existed in a different reality,” said the Blue Lagoon actress.

For those unversed, Brooke was married to Andre from 1997 to 1999.
