The professional life of the former world no. 1, Greg Norman, doesn’t look perfect right now, as half of his fans turned against him after his alliance with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf. On the contrary, he leads a rather peaceful life with his wife of many years, Kirsten Kutner. 

However, did you know that there was a time when he struggled to have a good personal life? When he was accused of cheating with his best friend’s wife.

Greg Norman and Chris Evert; a relationship that was never meant to be

Norman and the tennis legend, Chris Evert’s, relationship rumor started at the end of 2006 when they split from their respective partners. Evert got a divorce from her husband of 18 years, Andy Mill. Whereas, the Australian golfer separated from his wife of 25 years, Laura Andrassy. 

“These two people have really meant a lot to me for a long time,” Mill, who is also a good friend of Norman, told the media. Notably, Norman and Evert were keeping their relationship low-key when her ex-husband said this. “At this point, I just wish them great happiness,” Mill added. 

Although he seemed okay with his ex-wife having a relationship with his friend, one of his best friends doesn’t think that way. “It was like the ultimate betrayal,” Paul Tejera, Mill’s best friend, said. “To find out she was with Greg Norman was a shock,” he stated.

Norman and Evert finalized their divorces with their respective partners and got married to each other in 2009. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last long. The couple drifted apart in the next several months and secretly divorced one another just 15 months after their wedding. 

“Our lifestyles were different,” Evert told Elle after the divorce. “My priority was my kids,” she added. “His priority was to build his business and travel.” 

Who is the LIV Golf CEO currently married to? 

The 2-time major champion, Norman, has married three times in his life. He got separated from Laura Andrassy, his first wife, after she allegedly found out about his relationship with his friend’s wife and tennis star, Chris Evert. Notably, Andrassy got $103 million in cash as part of their divorce settlement. 

After divorcing Evert in 2009, the Aussie married interior designer, Kirsten Kutner, a year later. While it was the third time Norman tied the knot, Norman was Kutner’s second husband. And the two are still going strong and celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary recently. 

Norman married another woman after six months after his divorce from Evert. However, the tennis star has chosen to lead a single life since then.
