After Andrassy recovered from the shock of what was happening in her life, she opened up about Evert. Norman and Andrassy had two children together named Greg Norman, Jr. and Morgan-Leigh. But after their divorce, Andrassy claimed that her children “did not like Evert at all”. Andrassy also talked about how Evert had pursued Norman like no one she had ever seen. “She came after him – I have never seen anything like it,” Andrassy said. “It just turned into a fiasco. I really don’t have a lot of respect for her as a woman – she is not a great person.”

Andrassy also reached out to Mill, Evert’s ex-husband, while she was still in shock about the situation. “I said to Andy when I spoke to him today, `It’s like a bad movie – and we’re in it!’” she said. However, she claimed that she had no contact with Norman ever since their split. But the golfer was very close to his children and that was enough for her. Laura Andrassy also talked about how she had no idea that things were not okay between the two. But she mentioned that her children “picked up vibes” and sensed that something was off about Norman. The golf legend was together with Evert for a mere 15 months, and the two got separated eventually.
