Golf great Greg Norman & tennis ace Chris Evert to marry this weekend

Two sports legends are taking the plunge this weekend. Tennis player Chris Evert and golfer Greg Norman are getting married on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The couple have had a bit of wedding drama it seems – at the very last minute they decided to change the location of the ceremony – seemingly to keep the paparazzi at bay.

Australian golfer Norman and American tennis star Evert, both 53, were expected to tie the knot at a sunset ceremony on a private beach on Paradise Island. But the couple, who are reported to have sold the wedding rights, have switched to a nearby fenced off area, to avoid media attention.

A host of celebrities are expected to attend the lavish wedding, including former US presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr., singer Gwen Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale, Kenny Loggins and comedian Chevy Chase. Other famous faces who have been invited include tennis players Lleyton Hewitt, Anna Kournikova, Lindsay Davenport, Martina Navratilova and Ms Evert’s former fiancé Jimmy Connors.

Both Norman, whose nickname is The Great White Shark, and Evert have been married before. She has two ex-husbands, while the acrimonious disintegration of Norman’s marriage to his first wife Laura Andrassy made the headlines in 2006.

Well if you’ve got Loggins there, you know you’re made in the shade. You don’t need anything else at that wedding; no décor, gourmet food, nothing. You’ve got Kenny.

Greg Norman had quite the acrimonious legal battle with his ex-wife Laura Andrassy. According to the Daily Mail, he canceled her credit cards and changed the locks on their $36 million mansion. But she eventually got a $100 million settlement.

The Daily Mail asked her for a comment (which I’m sure she was thrilled about) and she responded, “‘I have no wishes for them except to say they deserve each other.’” Ouch. Hopefully the next round will go better for the both of them.

  1. Old love. Very touching.

    I hope they have good maternity facilities on Paradise Island, since Gwen Stefani looks to be about 5 minutes from delivering.

    And those second kids come quickly - whoosh!
