Just a month after tennis legend Chris Evert said she was “fine” with her split from her husband of 18 months, Aussie golfer Greg Norman, Evert told Page2Live that she misses the Great White Shark.
Looking elegant in a red dress, Evert made the startling admission Saturday night at the Boca Raton Resort, as she walked into the gala of her fund-raising tennis tournament.
She was asked: “Are you a happy woman?”
“I’m happy with this event,” Evert first said. Then, after a brief silence, she added: “Greg is missed. I miss him. He was always a big part of this.”
She didn’t discuss what the future holds for her and Norman, whom she married in June 2008 after both divorced their long-time spouses. They announced in early October that they were splitsville.
A dozen celebrities, meanwhile, put on their best outfits and dancing shoes for the gala, which marked the 20th anniversary of the event. Songbird Natalie Cole sang for the 500-plus who paid $750-a-pop to get in. Among other celebrities: Burn Notice hunk Jeffrey Donovan, tennis great Martina Navratilova, Navratilova’s old doubles partner Pam Shriver, Lindsay Davenport, Monica Seles, Justin Gimelstob and Vince Spadea, TV and the movies’ Elisabeth Shue, comic Jon Lovitz and soap opera star Maeve Quinlan. Most of them will be playing tennis at the Delray Tennis Center on Sunday.
Hey, Greg’s absence meant we got the lovely Jeffrey Donovan to come to Palm Beach County. Works for me!
rode hard and put away wet,
Meaning: Come back and forgive me. It’s a soap opera.
Used to watch Martina and Chris play at Moody in Dallas years ago. Kind of strange that Chris broke up with Greg at the same time that Martina just broke up with her ‘partner’ check back later.

Hey if Chris is so lonely she could abuse me for a night or two. I am a single dad raising my 4 yo daughter. Ask her if she can provide some charity this way in the form of sex-I mean she ain’t worth shit as a wife like most women, she is self centered and a whore. But for a night or two she will do.
Bill is gay
She deserves to be alone, i bet greg’s ex-wife is loving this! Next time go after a single man, chrissy!
I smell a lot of jealousy and fake anger coming from you unfair, good for nothing Posters….Get a LIFE for one day and go back to the TRASH You are in real life the next ! Please, and I say Please….. disconnect your Internet and do something a bit more constructive…Admit yourself to the Psyche Ward, bring your whole Family….Maybe you’ll find out what idiot made you !
Who cares?
I think Chris should set her sights on George Bush senior. Can you imagine the the fund raiser they could get from a mud wrestling match between her and Barbara!
Chrissy looked great last night and was her usual lovely self…most of you need to get a life!

Chris is lucky she can put up events like this to make people think of her. It’s hard not to be young and popular anymore. It’s life!

This would be funny if it werent so utterly ridiculous. “She misses Greg”, oh boy, how sad and awful that is. What’s it been a little over a month? Give me a break. Karma is truly a b___h. Think before you leap into someone else’s bed next time, maybe that will help.
Who cares what this homewrecking skank has to say. If she’s lonely, she can always break up another marriage and steal someone else’s husband, then throw him away in a couple of months. Karma is karma Chris, and you are reaping what you sowed. Tough noogies kiddo!!
thank g-d for Jose Lambiet. Without his hard nose journalism, i wouldn’t be able to keep up with such important current events. I mean seriously..what a f’ing joke. Gossip column writers, should be female or h-mo’s….and i rather read perezhilton.
Nice job d-bag…
