Former American tennis star Chris Evert has had an amazing career. However, the 67-year-old could not replicate it in her personal life. The 18-time Grand Slam champion had three failed marriages and the one which was most shocking of them all was with Andy Mill.

After a long marriage and having three children together, the couple parted ways in 2008. Subsequently, Evert married Greg Norman and the marriage fell apart pretty quickly. Later, Evert accepted it was a mistake on her end. Currently, Mill and Evert have a friendly relationship and Evert counts on her ex-husband for tough situations in the future.

Chris Evert on her relationship with ex-husband Andy Mill

After going through a rough phase in their relationship and subsequent divorce, the two moved on and married again. Currently, Evert is single while Mill is living a happily married life. However, there’s no bitterness anymore between Mill and Evert. Even the former world number 1 once claimed that Andy Mill is the first person she will call in case of an emergency. Here’s what she said in a podcast with Lance Armstrong, six years ago.

“When I’ll be in my dying bed, he’ll be there and I’ll be there for him. And if I didn’t feel well if I was having an anxiety attack or if I felt like I was having a heart attack, I mean, he would be the first one I would call. Andy, get over here right now.”

Evert further added, “We love each other and I can rely on him, but over 15-18-20 year’s you grow apart. One may evolve a little bit quicker than the other. For whatever reasons, you gotta be on top of your relationship the whole time, and I’ve learned that.”
