Evert admits she and Norman had an affair
Posted: Wednesday July 23, 2008 10:43AM ET
The tennis legend revealed that she and Norman had tried to fight their desire for each other and had undergone couples-counselling 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 counselling 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?" It is the first time the sporting power couple have publicly admitted they had embarked on an illicit romantic relationship while they were still with their spouses.

Report Offensive CommentThe term "dishonest cheats" comes to mind.
I wonder if the golf announcers on future telecasts will continue to talk about what a wonderful couple these two are.

Report Offensive CommentThey're such copycats... I guess they wanted to mimic the torrid affair between Martina Navratilova and Craig Stadler.

Report Offensive CommentWow, we get news that Norman has until tomorrow to accept a bid to the PGA Championship that was just offered from real media, and all FanGossipNation can talk about is Norman and Evert.
Why don't we talk about if Norman should play the PGA Championship or not. He is playing the British Open, British Senior Open, US Senior Open in back top back to back weeks. The following week is the PGA Championship. Should Norman accept the invite or not. Who cares if he and Chris Evert cheated with each other, let The National Enquirer cover that story.

Report Offensive CommentWell seems to me the ones who made out (pardon the pun ) - moneywise - are Mill, Andrassy, their lawyers and of course the marriage counselors !!!

Report Offensive CommentTheir not the first people who ever committed adultery and sadly they wont be the last, but is it really newsworthy?

Report Offensive CommentHey...Giuliani cheated on his first AND second wives, so it must be the morally upstanding, righteous and 9/11 thing to do.

Report Offensive CommentThis is Evert's third marriage what a surprise and there was something else that happened during the late 70's involving relations. Just like Madonna denying reports about her and A. Rod. Throughout the years they have been known for being faithful. Not!
This story belongs on the front page of People, Star, or Enquirerer.
