Just 15 months after they were married, golf star Greg Norman and tennis great Chris Evert announced they have separated. Norman and Evert, each in the Hall of Fame in their respective sport, did not say whether they planned to divorce. In a statement, the couple said only: “We will remain friends and supportive of one another’s family.” At the time of their marriage, Norman was coming off an ugly divorce from Laura Andrassy, the mother of his two children, which ended in a settlement that paid her just over $100 million.
