Chris Evert + Greg Norman have announced a formal separation after only 15 months of marriage according to a statement released throughGreg's LA spokesperson Bart Collins.
The couple requested privacy for themselves and their families and said, "We will remain friends and supportive of one another's family." The pair have not indicated whether they will divorce.
The history of the relationship has been well-documented, includingclaims made in 2007 by Chris' ex-husband and Greg's former best friend,Andy Mills, who blamed the golfer for ruining his 18-year marriage to the tennis Hall of Famer.
Last July, Chrissie publicly admitted to the affair for the first time but tried to explain it away during an interview with Vogue saying, "It was like an irresistible force. How do you explain something like that?"
Upon hearing of the separation, Greg's ex-wife Laura Andrassy had her own explanation. "They say opposites attract. Here were two people very much alike - high profile and narcissistic people - and that would make a relationship difficult," said Laura.
It was Chrissie's third marriage and second for Greg.
Ouch. Well, I can't say the news of their separation is a shocker. Unfortunately, it's not at all.
