Greg Norman, Chris Evert End 15-Month Marriage

Well, that was quick. Only 15 months after tying the knot, Greg Norman & Chris Evert have untied it.

Greg Norman Chris Evert

(And they said it wouldn’t last. And they were right!)

The golf champ & tennis star, both 54, were engaged in South Africa in December in 2007 and married in the Bahamas the following June. But their union is now dissolved, completed with a released statement stating, “We will remain friends and supportive of one another’s family.”

Such a shock to see such a strong coupling come up short - well, it would be, if you didn’t know the circumstances of how the happy couple came to be.

As we learned last year, Greg ‘n’ Chris came together because of a mutual “desire” of one another - but the problem was that both were still married to other people. And try as they might, they just couldn’t stop themselves from becoming dual homewreckers.

From our previous post:

The tennis legend revealed that she and Norman had tried to fight their desire for each other and had undergone couples-counseling with their longtime spouses, Andy Mill and Laura Andrassy, in an effort to overcome their mutual attraction.

But Evert, who married the Great White Shark in a lavish ceremony in the Bahamas last month, said counseling did not work and the pair dissolved their marriages to be together.

“It was like an irresistible force,” she said. “How do you explain something like that?”

Now the irresistible force has met the immovable object - the object of divorce! And I’m sure Andy & Laura feel real bad about their conniving ex-spouses (*snicker*).

I wonder what really caused the Norman-Evert breakup. Could Chris ‘n’ Greg have gotten googly-eyed over another golf star & tennis champ, respectively? Hey, speaking of - has anyone seen Tiger Woods or Maria Sharapova around lately?

    Maybe every morning Chis waking up to those steely eyes staring down at her as if seeing into her very soul wasn’t what she bargained for…

    Norman seems like such a nice guy, doesn’t he? What a sweetheart.

    “Is this yer Grampa, Chris?”

    ” No, he’s my husband. We’re the same age. Only his face is made of fungus and he has two ball-bearings for eyes. He likes to stare at golf balls and see if he move them by the power of his mind..”

    “Ah, ok.”

    I’m sure the former starter at the former Kemper Open is broken up about this separation. It was Mr. Norman who had him removed for a very innocent joke.

    He must be pretty slow. Look how long it took him to realize he’s worth a couple hundred million and she’ll be sixty soon. It finally clicked. Get yourself a twenty something for the love of God.

    Why would anyone care other than the pysedo celebrities mentioned.

    I am 30 years old. When I was a kid ( like 20 years ago) I thought Greg Norman was around 54 then.

    Ya’ll can say and think what you want about Norman but I’m willing to bet the farm that quite a few women would be more than willing to lose their clothes for him….
