‘Fabricated Rubbish…’ – When Greg Norman Was Forced to Clarify His Relationship With Chris Evert Years After Their Divorce

American legend, Chris Evert, was creating plenty of headlines in the early 70s and 80s with her tremendous tennis prowess. Apart from that, she also created plenty of news with her off-court relationships, Including Jimmy Connors, John Lloyd, Andy Mill, and others.

After splitting with Andy Mill, Evert married an Australian pro golfer, Greg Norman, which did not last very long. However, years after their divorce, the former Australian golfer talked about the rumors about getting back with Evert.

Greg Norman dismissed all the rumors about getting back with Chris Evert

Speaking about all the rumors back in 2016, Norman dismissed them and called them “Fabricated Rubbish.“

There were reports that Norman and Evert used to see each other from time to time. After hearing this, Norman said, “So untrue it’s a joke… These groundless banal articles with repositioned quotes hurt many people, but I guess that factor is never taken into consideration by the journalists that write them and the editors that approve them.“

According to the former golfer, his wife Kirsten Kutner also saw the news articles and magazines and did not give them much attention. “But it does hurt to some degree when she sees her photo cut-and-pasted in the magazine to intentionally make a situation look dire,” he further said.
