Tennis legend Chris Evert’s ex husband said Monday he’s happy.
And that’s somewhat of a novelty for Andy Mill, a 1970s Olympic skiing hero and a respected area deep-sea fisherman.
Three years ago, he inked his side of his divorce settlement agreement with Evert in a Fort Lauderdale courtroom.
Depression set in.
Mill didn’t mind standing in Evert’s shadow. He once drank champagne in one of her high-heel shoes in public at the Boca Raton Resort.
But when it came to an abrupt end, Mill had a hard time.
“I cried routinely for close to three years,” the 55-year-old Mill said in an exclusive interview with Page2Live. “I loved my family. I loved Chris and our three sons and my life with them.”
And Mill, who now alternates between homes in Boca Raton and Aspen, Colo., still angrily blames his then-best friend, Jupiter Island golfer Greg Norman, for bringing misery to the life he loved.
Norman and Evert, who left their respective spouses for each other in 2006, announced Friday they were separated – 15 months after getting hitched on Paradise Island, The Bahamas.
These days, however, life is good for Andy Mill.
He’s engaged to, and lives with, a 40-year-old Aspen homemaker, Debra Harvick.
She, he says, is the loyal partner he always wanted.
“We do everything together,” Mill said while waiting for a flight to Florida so that he can check on his kids during the current firestorm. “We go hiking. We go bow-hunting. We go fishing. We go camping. She’s beautiful and a world-class chef. Deb has two kids herself.
“I didn’t know this when I got divorced, but I ended up happier than Chris, or Greg for that matter.”
When asked if he was surprised when he heard that Evert and Norman were on the outs, he said: “Nothing surprises me with those two. Look at the trail of destruction they left behind them for this fling.”
Despite the bliss, Mill says, he’ll never be able to forgive Norman, with whom he and Evert vacationed often. Once, Norman flew birthday boy Mill on his private jet to Augusta, Ga., to play a round of golf at Augusta National.

Comparing Evert and Norman to “two alpha dogs going at it,” Mill said there’s no doubt they’re headed for divorce court.
“And a divorce is like a golf swing,” Mill said. “It always makes somebody happy.”
