Chris Evert, Who Had Ex-Husband’s Immense Support During Cancer Battle, Regrets Losing Him for Legendary Golfer Greg Norman – ‘You’re Right…’

Chris Evert has had an immense amount of success on the court. ‘Little Miss Cool’ has an array of achievements and records to her name and established herself as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. However, in her personal life, things haven’t always gone according to her plans. Over the years, she has had three failed marriages, all with renowned personalities in the sporting world. The 18-time Grand Slam champion recently expressed her regret over divorcing her second husband Andy Mill.

The former Alpine ski racer, Andy Mill, was married to her from 1988 to 2006. They have three children, Colton Jack, Nicholas Joseph, and Alexander James.

Chris Evert regrets leaving Andy Mill for Greg Norman

Evert married British tennis player, John Lloyd, in 1979. They ended their marriage in 1987. The Tennis power couple’s divorce had garnered enormous attention. Lloyd later revealed that his underwhelming tennis career and that of his wife’s ultra-successful career and the fame that came along with it were the main reasons behind their split. Subsequently, she married Andy Mill in 1988 and had three kids with him before eventually getting divorced in 2006. Immediately after her divorce, Evert married the retired Australian pro golfer, Greg Norman. However, it was a short-lived relationship, as the couple parted ways within 15 months of their marriage.

The ‘Ice Maiden’ recently regretted her decision to end her marriage with Andy Mill, and has time and again accepted that she should not have done that.

Recently, she commented on an old thread, acknowledging that she might have made a mistake by quitting on her marriage with Mill. It was a picture from when Andy Mill had accompanied Evert for her second chemotherapy in February. The now deleted fan tweet said, “You never should have left him.” Evert quoted the tweet and stated, “You’re right…” 

The divorce from her second husband was something that eventually took a toll on her mental health. Following her own struggles, she also expressed concern for the current stars on the circuit. In April 2022, Chris Evert showcased her worry about players “losing control” after a string of controversial on-court outbursts.

Evert on her mental strength

Evert boasted about her mental strength on the court because that was something she felt she was born with. This might not be incorrect too because the ‘Ice Maiden’ wasn’t fazed by any situation on the court, no matter how severe it was. She was exceptionally calm and it was probably one of the reasons that helped her become one of the most decorated tennis players of all time.

Evert, however, found herself disconcerted after her third divorce, and had to mend her mental health. In a 2011 interview, she said, “It’s been a tough few years, a lot of self-analysis…but I’m coming out of it O.K.”
