Chris Evert has had a marvelous tennis career. Her career graph touched new heights with every passing year. Though in contrast to that, her personal life faced some rough times. The 18-time Grand Slam champion went through three marriages in search of her soulmate. At first, she tied the knot with fellow tennis ace John Lloyd.

Thereafter, she gave a fresh start to her love life with Olympic skier Andy Mill and then broke the union to be with Greg Norman, the Australian retired golfer. However, her partnership with Norman couldn’t survive the lingering past, and the people related to it. Hence, leading them to divorce within a span of a few months. Here are some of the factors that weighed in.

What ruined Chris Evert and Greg Norman’s marriage?

A trusted source recently opened up about the issue Evert and Norman’s marriage faced. “Greg got in between Andy and his sons, which caused a great deal of turmoil for Chris.” said the source.

Thereafter, the source added. “On one occasion, Andy flew from his Aspen home to Boca Raton to spend time with his sons, and before Andy even touched ground, Greg whisked Nicky off in his private jet. He took him to his own ranch in Colorado, leaving a very unhappy Andy crying on the phone to his son.”

“Another time, Norman told Colton that he needed to spend time with him instead of going to a planned meeting with his own father.” Evert in her 18 years of marriage with the downhill skier welcomed three children; Alexander James, Nicholas Joseph and Colton Jack.
