Chris Evert and Andy Mill married in 1988 in Boca Raton. Eighteen years later, the marriage, unfortunately, ended in divorce in 2006. Evert divorced Mill, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ and later married the former Australian golfer and Mill’s friend, Greg Norman. The former Alpine skier once detailed the horrid and painful experience of going through a divorce.

He wished that nobody had to go through such an ordeal. Eventually, the tables turned and Evert regretted divorcing Andy Mill.

Andy Mill was heartbroken after his split with Chris Evert

For Andy Mill, divorce was the last thing he expected after 18 years of marriage with the tennis legend. It happened nonetheless and his best friend, Greg Norman, the retired golf player, had played his part in it. In an old interview, he termed the day he divorced Evert as “the worst day in my life.”

But he accepted his ex-wife’s decision and said, “I wouldn’t wish divorce on anyone. But it happens and you can’t make somebody love you – in the case of my ex-wife.” Furthermore, he talked about the progress he made after that. Mill said, “You have to move on and so I’m moving on – it (recovering from the split) is a work in progress.”
