Former tennis star Pete Sampras (52) has announced that his wife, actress Bridgette Wilson-Sampras (50), is suffering from serious cancer. The past year has been “extremely difficult” for his family, Sampras wrote on Sunday (local time) in an emotional message on the X platform of the ATP men’s tennis organization. His wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in December, followed by serious surgery, chemotherapy and other treatments.
“Cancer is a monster,” reads the introduction to Sampras’ moving words. “He doesn’t just eat one person. It feeds the whole family.”
Sampras begins with these words: «As most people know, I am a fairly quiet and reserved person. However, this past year has been an exceptionally challenging time for my family and I’ve decided to share what happened.
“Healing journey”
It was difficult to watch a loved one overcome such a challenge. Her two sons had strongly supported her, Sampras emphasized. He would now ask for “good thoughts and prayers” for his family as his wife continues her “healing journey.”
Ex-Miss Teen and actress
The former world-class tennis player and the actress, a former Miss Teen USA, married in 2000 in California. Three years later, Sampras retired from professional tennis. The couple’s two sons are 18 and 20 years old.
Bridgette Wilson-Sampras made films such as ‘Last Action Hero’ (1993) alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger (76), ‘Wedding Planner’ (2001) with Matthew McConaughey (53) and Jennifer Lopez (54) and ‘Shopgirl’ (2005) with Steve Martin (78). (SDA/kes)
