Greg Norman was married to Laura Andrassy for nearly 3 decades. The couple also had 2 children together. However, things didn’t go very well for both of them ever since Norman first met tennis superstar, Chris Evert. Being a celebrated athlete himself, Norman enjoyed the company of another famous sportsperson. The golfer soon fell in love with her and ended his marriage with Andrassy after 25 years of being together.

Although Norman got together with Evert out of love, the two couldn’t hold the marriage for more than 15 months. There were various theories as to why the two split up in such a short period of time. However, sources suggest it had a lot to do with their interactions with each other’s children.

Soon after Evert stepped out of Norman’s life, the retired golfer decided to move on in his life. And so, he tied the knot with Sydney interior designer, Kirsten Kutner. While Evert wanted to “wish Greg happiness in his future”, Andrassy had other things on her mind. “I don’t care what he does, I’ve moved on,” Andrassy said“It’s just that my children have to be around a woman who almost destroyed our family.”

However, both his ex-wives described the golf star as ‘aggressive’ in relationships. Evert said, “I know he is aggressive and works fast, but I’m not disappointed” in reaction to his new life with Kutner. While Andrassy called it a “hurtful time” in her life.

But for Kutner, the way she described him, Norman was probably the best man she could find. “I am definitely the luckiest woman on this earth,” she said. “I am so blessed to have such an amazing man to share my life with,”. While Norman also mentioned how everything was “perfect” ever since he started talking to Kutner.
