Lake Sherwood, California: From 1990 to 2001, Bridgette Wilson was considered one of the most talented actresses in the industry, but after having her son in 2002, she decided to retire.
Back in 1999, Bridgette was introduced to tennis legend Pete Sampras by their mutual friend from Los Angeles.
Since the talented actress wasn’t too fond of tennis, she didn’t know who she was interacting with.
However, after a few interactions, both couples developed feelings for one another.
Just after a year of dating, the beautiful couple decided to get married in September 2000 in their backyard.
Key Takeaways
- Bridgette and Pete were blessed with their first child in 2002, and they named him Christian Sampras.
- Their second child, Ryan, was born in 2005, and he is interested in tennis.
- Their oldest son, Christian, is interested in skateboarding and dirt bike racing.
Soon after that, on November 21, 2002, the couple was blessed with a son named Christian Charles Sampras.
Christian is currently 21 years old.
Like his father, Christian has developed a love for sports. But let us tell you, it’s not tennis. He is interested in skateboarding.
Besides that, he is also quite fond of riding a dirt bike.

Occasionally, the young athlete likes going on an adventurous trip with his friends.
But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t resemble his mother at all. Much like his mother, he has developed a liking for watching critically acclaimed movies.
However, Christian isn’t the only son in the Sampras household. On July 29, 2005, the beautiful couple was blessed with another child, Ryan Nikolaos Sampras.
Ryan is currently 19 years old.
Now, he is an exact copy of his father. From an early age, he developed a love for tennis.
And who coached him?
Yeah, you guessed it right, it’s his father.
His aim is to be as great as his father one day.
Bridgette Wilson’s Children Were Playful During Their Childhood
We all know how private Bridgette and Pete are in real life.
But back when the book Pete Sampras: Greatness Revisited was released, we learned a little about how their children were during their childhood.
They were incredibly proud of what their parents had achieved during their childhood.
However, when they learned about their father’s old commercial, they did give their father a tough time.
While talking about those times, Pete said,
It is embarrassing. They put on those milk ads I did every now and then with my shirt off and watch them on the computer. They bust my chops.

Back then, both brothers were carefree.
Nevertheless, when they learned about the condition of their mother, they really started to act responsibly.
