Steffi Graf became world famous through her tennis career. Her niece Talia Graf is not as well-known as she is, but she also has a lot of fans online.
Steffi Graf made a name for herself through her tennis talent in the eighties and nineties. During her time as an active player, she won 22 Grand Slam tournaments. After Steffi Graf celebrated success in sports, her niece Talia Graf ended up in the fashion industry.
The mid-20-year-old works as a model and is also active on Instagram. She has two accounts there. On one of the profiles she has 12,500 followers, who she provides with impressions of idyllic travel destinations, photo shoots and catwalk moments.
The Instagram profile is followed by her cousin Jaz Elle Agassi and her cousin Jaden Gil Agassi, the children of Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi. The two have also subscribed to Talia Graf’s second account, on which the influencer appears more approachable. Significantly fewer fans follow her there, with around 800 followers. In a current clip she shows how she applies her make-up. However, it seems that she needs a few tries before she is happy with the result. “I hate it, I hate it,” she frets as she applies eyeliner and kohl. At the end of the clip she seems happy with her styling: “Oh, that’s sweet.”
Talia Graf is a native American and the daughter of Steffi Graf’s brother Michael. She grew up in Las Vegas. The former tennis player also lives there with her husband Andre Agassi and has probably invited her niece to dinner on occasion.
In an interview with the “Bild” newspaper in 2022, Talia Graf raved about Steffi Graf’s cooking skills: “She can cook very well. […] My favorite dish is their schnitzel. My aunt makes the best Wiener Schnitzel I know!” She and her aunt have a close relationship: ”Family is and remains family. […] I’m very proud of my aunt.”
