Chris Evert divorced Andy Mill in 2006 after having a long marriage and three kids with him. She and Greg Norman got married in 2008 and started their lives completely smitten with love. But what they did not see was the harsh reality of how life was going to be for both of them. Evert talked about the differences that the two had, which eventually led to their divorce only after a year.

Divorcing her ex-husband Andy Mill was a mistake, and this was something that Evert realised way too late. However, they both are good friends now and share a comfortable relationship with each other.

And Evert and Norman were happy to go on with their new lives. But things did not turn as dreamy as they had hoped it to be.

Evert said, “I had no idea it was coming.” Furthermore, Norman and she split quietly in the public. She said, “It wasn’t talked about, ever.” Expressing her shock, she said, “Never in a million years did I imagine it would end up like this.”
