The complex personal life of two-time Grand Slam finalist Mark Philippoussis just got a lot more complicated as the 33-year-old's planned wedding to a minor American actress has apparently been pushed back.
The US-based one-time player whose career fade was one of the most dramatic in the sport - not helped by six knee surgeries - has made more headlines in recent years for his off-court troubles, which have included his Melbourne home being threatened over unpaid mortgage debt.
Now, the presumed marriage between the Australian and actress Jennifer Esposito is on hold after originally being planned for the summer in the upscale Hamptons east of New York City.
"We haven't set a date," Esposito told the Australian women's magazine New Idea. "We're just trying to get through every day as a couple."
"We're enjoying ourselves, and a wedding takes time and planning. Mark has got to focus on his tennis."
Despite losing US Open and Wimbledon finals, Philippoussis last set foot on an ATP court in late 2006. He made a try at a comeback a month ago at a Challenger in Dallas, losing his first match.
But that is of little concern to the prospective bride: "I believe in him 100 per cent. Mark's heart is in the right place with me and I'm there for him."
Philippoussis has seemed unlucky in love, being linked in the past to girlfriends including Aussie singer Delta Goodrem, Paris Hilton, former player Anna Kournikova and actress/party girl Tara Reid.
He was engaged to teenaged Miami heiress Alexis Barbara in 2006 but broke it off.
