Is divorce the only way for this celebrity couple to settle their differences?

Chris Evert & Greg Norman getting Divorced?

Chris Evert & Greg Norman getting Divorced?

Last week, Norman announced in a statement that he had separated from his wife of 15 months, tennis legend Chris Evert. And that came just a few days after Norman had surgery on his right shoulder.

This week Greg Norman has flown to San Francisco to captain the International team in the Presidents Cup.  Cris Evert is home in Florida, where a photo was  snapped a shot of the tennis legend’s unadorned ring finger, just 15 months after the couple laid out $2 million for a wedding ceremony.

That’s chump change compared to the $103 million it cost Greg Norman to divorce his wife of over a quarter of a century, Laura Andrassy. She’s definately proving that no one laughs a last laugh harder than a ditched ex, telling the Sydney Sunday Telegraph:

“They say opposites attract. Here were two people very much alike — high profile and narcissistic people — and that would make a relationship difficult . . . Both he and Chris are adults and they were supposed to know what they were doing, but they were in the throes of lust and weren’t thinking . . . But being with Chris is what Greg wanted. Well, he got it.”

A British tabloid, The Mirror, says Evert wasn’t happy about moving into Norman’s Jupiter Island estate, where he had lived with Andrassy. If true, we can understand that. When living in a $60 million Florida mansion, you want to be the one who picked out the wall paper, right?

Here’s a great video of a number of tennis couples that have happened over the years.  I think you will enjoy:
