Chris Evert began to heal from her breakup with Greg Norman in November 2010. The 67-year-old former tennis champion revealed that she had traveled for a few months while “healing” after her marriage to golfer Norman in June 2008 ended in divorce in December 2009. The fans were stoked when Evert and the major championship winner came together in holy matrimony. They were expecting great things for the power couple of the golf industry then. However, the sudden split left everyone in shock.

Later, Evert revealed that her guilt ruined her marriage with Norman. The former tennis pro broke her 18-year-old marriage with former skier Andy Mill in 2007. She married Norman, who was also the best friend of the skier. Evert felt terrible for ruining her relationship and carried the guilt with her in the marriage. As a result, it also broke. However, the tennis pro also lost a lot during that time. She lost all contentment with her kids when she got together with the white shark of the golf.

But when Norman married Kirsten Kutner in 2010, Evert was almost healed, and she revealed her journey of getting over the marriage and reuniting with her kids. Only another knows the pain of separation from her children, and Evert went through that pain. She was so focused on her relationship with the former golfer that she lost her kids at that moment.

How did Chris Evert get over Greg Norman?

Evert had three sons from her former matrimony with Mill. However, after getting over Norman, she talked to ‘People.’ She said“I spent the summer in Aspen healing. My kids are great, and they have their mum back.” The tennis legend had three kids with her former husband: Alexander James, Colton Jack, and Nicholas Joseph. But when she decided to split with him, she lost hold of her connection with her sons, too.
