Andy Roddick's wife Brooklyn Decker wished the American on his 42nd birthday in a unique manner. Roddick and his wife Decker have been married since 2009 and have two kids together, a son and a daughter.
The 2003 US Open champion turned 42 on August 30, 2024, and his wife Brooklyn Decker took to Instagram to share a hilarious video of them on the special occasion.
"Happy Birthday to my dude. Here’s to more unhinged nights like this in your 42nd year. (Yes, we were drinking. Yes, we lost our minds during lockdown)," she captioned the post.

Decker often shares details from their lives on her social media. In 2017, she revealed in an interview with Tennis Channel about how she met the US tennis star. She stated that Roddick approached her via his agent so she did not call him back for five months.
"We met, it's a terrible story. I was hosting a show about football for Sports Illustrated and he watched it every week. He got his attorney to call my agent at the time and I thought it was very shady as one would, and I didn't call him back for five months," she said.
She recalled watching his press conference from the 2007 Australian Open and finding him 'pretty funny'.
"I was living in New York at the time and my now-manager said to me, 'You know, you have no friends, all your friends are in North Carolina', and he said, 'Why don't you call him, he's really nice'. I googled him and watched his press conference from the 07' Australian Open, where he was just super dry and sarcastic. I thought, 'Well that's pretty funny, looks like a charmer', and I called him back and we've been together ever since," she added.
