    Two narcissistic people who walked out on two long term marriages with children can't seem to make it work? Really?

    I just knew this marriage wouldn't last. There is something wrong with Chris Evert--serial marriages--and Norman was a fool to fall for her conniving and maniupulating. She got what she wanted, and I suppose now she's on to the next guy. Or, maybe she just got tired of him. I doubt Norman is the one who wanted the split--he was so pu**y whipped over her. Maybe she's taken up with John Edwards.

    Karma, I'd say Norman is totally heartbroken, remember she has done this 3 times now so, I think Andy will have her back, Laura and Greg no way. Sad

    I thought they'd grow old together. Finally, they were not compatible and found out soon after their marriage. But the fun begins for each now!

  • October 04, 2009 - 7:37am Greg Norman is only 54? He looks 84! See what the sun does to people???

    Greg Norman looks older than dirt. Regardless, you know he had an affair. Why the sudden divorce? She left her family and he left his, to marry and get ANOTHER divorce. He'll be lucky if he walks away with his toothbrush after this. He used to be so rich. Thank God his 1st wife got EVERYTHING! Karma! I love it!

    Don't get married again!!! Both of you. 5 marriages total between 2 people is more than enough.

    Norman's EX-wife came out of this the best. She got around $100 million settlement, due to his unfaithfulness and stupidity! She's laughing at the bank, probably glad now she's rid of him! Gosh, between him and Everett, what happened to their happily ever after? Really, wonder what went down that QUICK to cause this? Pie in their faces, wonder how they look their kids in the face. Something bad had to go down, they were so smitten with each other just a few months ago still, WHAT HAPPENED? Who cheated first?!

    How many times do I have to say it...you can't build your happiness on someone else's unhappiness.

    What does this teach us??? DON'T HAVE AFFAIRS!!!! WHEN YOU MARRY, COMMIT TO THAT PERSON FOR LIFE!

    There are few happy ever afters in any marriage, what do you expect when celebrities get together?

  • October 03, 2009 - 6:07pm They BOTH embarrassed their families and now themselves

    Two families went down thanks to their selfishness. Chris Evert's husband was hard broken when she dumped him for his good friend, Greg Norman. Chris Evert and Andy Mills were raising 3 sons when Chris broke up the family. Greg Norman was married for 25 years. What a shame. They can't go back to what they had. You play with fire, you are going to get burned.

  • October 03, 2009 - 5:54pm This must be KILLING Norman - his Ex Wife got the 100 million before the economy tanked

    The best case of Karma I ever heard of. Norman divorced his wife and gave her at least 100 million to marry Chris Evert in a quickie wedding. Prolly Everet was pressuring Norman. Next, the economy tanked. Whatever he has left is worth a hell of a lot less today. (Real Estate, stocks, etc.) Serves both of them right!! Obviously, it didn't turn out to be the Brady Bunch.

    Wasn't Chris Everett's 2nd husband married when they got together? Karma, baby, karma

    Ahhhhh what a shame NOT!!!! I bet these 2 thought they would be the exception to the rule. 95-97% of these relationships don't last and the one's that do, most of them are far from happy because there is no TRUST

    WOW!! I did not see this one coming!
