In her autobiography, she mentioned that Agassi once destroyed all of his trophies (including his Wimbledon and US trophies) in 1995 after seeing her licking fingers of Matt LeBlanc, during the filming of an episode for TV sitcom friends. She recalled that it took her three years to replace all those trophies, after the 1995 incident. They weren't even married back then.
