The couple believed they had each found the other. But three years after they met, the couple split very publicly with many unresolved feelings.

The tennis star wasn’t pleased with her divorce at the time. She revealed after her divorce from Norman that she felt terrible about leaving her ex-husband, Andy Mills. She claimed that she was sad about breaking his heart and missed her family. “I miss my family time with Andy and the kids,” she said.

Evert also spoke up about what she missed about her relationship with the ex-golf pro. Much to the surprise of the fans, it wasn’t the time they spent together or the happy moments. It was his parents. She stated, “I also really miss Greg’s parents. The best part about him are his parents.”

Evert didn’t see the divorce coming

Despite each being married in 2006—the tennis star to Andy Mill and the two-time major winner to Laura Andrassy—the two connected instantly when they met. Later that year, they left their spouses for each other.

Two years later, in June, the two were wed in the Bahamas and had an ecstatic start to their marriage. But only 15 months in, things took an ugly turn. Evert mentioned that the divorce was out of the blue. She said, “It wasn’t talked about, ever.”

She added on and said that she had never imagined it ending like this. “Never in a million years did I imagine it would end up like this.” The tennis great was certainly upset and was “hurt, angry and shamed” with how Norman had ended things.
