The couple spent three years together, and 15 months married before Norman left Evert. In an interview with Woman’s Day magazine, Evert revealed how she had been left heartbroken. The former tennis pro also opened up about why the marriage didn’t work out and her reason, which was dishonesty.

Evert said, “Any relationship that starts out in a dishonest way is not going to work.” She added that she had brought a lot of guilt from her previous marriage into her relationship with Greg, and that’s why “it already had a strike against it.” The tennis legend believed that their relationship had no honest foundation and that they had both left their spouses for each other, so it would never work out.

When Evert was asked if she missed Norman, her answer surprised the world. “I miss my family time with Andy and the kids,” she said. It was evident that Chris had only regrets about her entire time with Norman. She felt guilty for leaving Andy and breaking up their family for Greg.

The former tennis star claimed that her relationship with Andy was the best time of her life and that her three years with Norman couldn’t compare. She stated, “That was 20 years of history. Probably the best years of my life.”
