Chris Evert misses Greg
Tennis great Chris Evert has revealed she is still shell-shocked after the sudden end to her whirlwind marriage to golfing great Greg Norman.
Evert, 55, married Norman in a lavish ceremony in the Bahamas in June 2008, and divorced 18 months later.
“I had no idea it was coming. No idea,” Evert said of her split with Norman. “It wasn’t talked about, ever.
“Never in a million years did I imagine it would end up like this.”
Evert and Norman, both 55, tied the knot in a lavish $2 million ceremony in the Bahamas in June 2008.
The pairing of the sporting superstars was short-lived – they announced their separation last October after a 15-month union.
The former World No.1 with 18 grand slam singles titles to her name said she spent far too much time away from her three teenage sons after marrying Norman.
“I am the first to admit I need to hold myself accountable and responsible, which I am doing,” she said.
“But Greg needs to take accountability for the promises he made and the way he left.”
Evert also said guilt played a part in their marriage breakdown.
“I still had an enormous amount of guilt,” she said.
“I brought that into my marriage with Greg and I allowed it to have an effect.
“I’ve also learned, chances are, any relationship that starts out in a dishonest way is not going to work.
“It already had a strike against it.”
Evert was asked if she missed Norman.
“I miss my family time with Andy and the kids,” she replied.
“That was 20 years of history. Probably the best years of my life.
“I also really miss Greg’s parents. The best part about him are his parents.
“They are great people. They’re very down to earth and level headed.
“I always got along great with them.”
Norman was Evert’s third husband.
