She could have said: I told you so!
She didn’t.

Laura Andrassy, the woman dumped by links Leviathan Greg Norman for new wife Chris Evert, took the high road Friday when she talked exclusively to Page2Live about her ex-husband’s sudden announcement that he and Evert have separated after just 15 months of wedded bliss.
“I feel sorry for the children,” Andrassy said by telephone from her new home in the Hamptons. Andrassy, whom Norman paid $103 million in the divorce, divides her time between Palm Beach and Long Island.
“The kids (Evert, 53, has three teenage boys with ex-husband Andy Mill, an Olympic skiing hero) are the ones who are going to deal with another breakup. They just went through the same thing with their mom and dad.”
Does she feel sorry for the 54-year-old Norman?
“Not really,” she said. “He made his bed. Both he and Chris are adults and they were supposed to know what they were doing. But they were in the throes of lust and weren’t thinking (when they got married).

“But being with Chris is what Greg wanted. Well, he got it.”
Andrassy attributed the shocking split, announced Friday, to the fact the Great White Shark and the tennis hall-of-famer jumped into another marriage too quickly.
Evert’s divorce was final at Christmas in 2006.
Within months, she and Norman were officially an item. They were married in The Bahamas in 2008, weeks after Norman and Andrassy were pronounced divorced after 25 years.
“You just can’t get in a relationship like that so quickly,” Andrassy said. “You go from a 25-year (marriage) to something new slowly. You need to get to know each other first, and they didn’t do that. This was puppy love.
“You know, like in high school. When you just can’t live for five minutes without the other person.”
Andrassy said she had no idea Norman and Evert were on the outs and was as surprised as the general public when a friend called her to tell her.
She wouldn’t speculate on the reason for the separation, but several issues emerged in recent months.
First, according to public records, Evert and Norman, whose worldwide corporation is based in Jupiter, never moved in together. Their respective drivers license still list their pre-marital addresses, Jupiter Island for Norman and Boca Raton for Evert.
Then, friends of the two have described them as both having huge egos that, at times, have clashed.
Evert rarely missed a chance to rib Norman in public. In 2007, she called the Great White Shark a “big chicken” before the media in South Africa.
So, does Andrassy — who called Evert a “predator” on TV last year — expect to see Norman crawl back to her?
“No way,” Andrassy said, “that wouldn’t happen in a million years.”
Norman, who had arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder this week, is listed as a celebrity player at Evert’s yearly charity tournament next month in Delray, but it isn’t known whether he’ll show. Neither he nor Evert commented.
