Steffi Graf: Your nephew was unemployed and an alcoholic

He is sporty, fit and bursting with joie de vivre. In the social networks of the Graf Agassi clan, public postings by family members with a young man who is enthusiastic about sports keep appearing. This is Torren Graf (27) – the nephew of tennis legend Steffi Graf (53). What the young man hardly notices: He has gone through a serious life crisis. “A year ago I was unemployed and an alcoholic,” revealed the 27-year-old in an interview with “bild.de”. Above all, it was his aunt Steffi who stood by him in his darkest hours.

Ambition and discipline are values ​​that are very popular in the family of tennis star Steffi Graf. Her nephew Torren has also blossomed into a sports cannon. You can see how hard he trains for his muscular body in the video below.

Steffi Graf: Her nephew was “suicidal”

The trigger for the serious crisis was Torren’s private life. “I was in a relationship where I was abused, I was suicidal, I didn’t know what to do,” the personal trainer admitted openly in an interview. The young man received the greatest support from his aunt Steffi. “She helped me. I can rely on my aunt Steffi!” enthuses the son of Steffi’s younger brother Michael Graf (50), looking back.

She had encouraged him, taught him to think positively and also given him tips for looking for a job. It was particularly important to him that someone was there for him. Steffi’s support is no coincidence. Because Torren’s father Michael is also struggling with problems. Just a few months ago, the 50-year-old was on trial for property damage.

Torren Graf: This is how he managed to start a new life

Steffi’s support was successful. Torren followed a healthy lifestyle, abstained from alcohol, ate a balanced diet and did a lot of sport. In the meantime he has become a bodybuilder and takes part in competitions. Torren takes stock: “I’m better than ever.” Steffi’s daughter Jaz Elle Agassi (18) is also enthusiastic about her cousin’s new life. Most recently, she caused a stir with a joint photo on Torren’s Instagram account. Both posed in front of a mirror at the gym, proudly showing off their abs. “When the whole family faints,” Torren smugly commented on the snapshot.
