Greg Norman's Wives: A Look into His Marriages

At the time, Laura, whom Greg shares with two children, Morgan Leigh Norman and Gregory Norman, admitted that the affair reopened painful wounds, adding that it was difficult for her children and that she wanted to keep them away from their father.

Friends of Greg and Laura at the time claimed that problems in their marriage began in 1995 when Laura suspected Greg was cheating on her after she overheard him having a phone conversation with Kirsten about them planning a meet-up.

At the time, a source revealed that Greg and Kirsten, who was in her twenties, had been seeing each other for two years. According to the insider, when Laura confronted Greg about the affair, he agreed to end his relationship with Kirsten to save his marriage because he believed that, as a parent, it was the right thing to do.

Greg and Laura tried to work things out for years to save their marriage, but ultimately, the exes announced they were divorcing in May 2006. After the divorce, Greg gave love another chance.

He and tennis legend 68-year-old Chris Evert got engaged in December 2007 in South Africa. The two exchanged vows the following year on June 28, 2008, in a beautiful sunset ceremony in the Bahamas.

At the time, Greg said the marriage was better than he expected, adding that he and Chris had mutual respect and were compatible. Chris also said that she and Greg were very comfortable with each other. Unfortunately, their marriage was short-lived and ended after 15 months.

After Greg's second marriage, he found love again with Kirsten, and the two have since been happily married for 12 years. In 2020, Kirsten tested positive for COVID-19 and had to stay in quarantine for several days.

A few months ago, Kirsten and her husband received a lawsuit seeking damages above $50,000. According to reports, his stepdaughter's female high school classmate came forward and alleged that two individuals sexually assaulted her at a pool party at the golfer's residence in Palm Beach Gardens.

The unnamed underage student filed a lawsuit against Greg and Kirsten, accusing them of negligence and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Reports suggest the plaintiff is a former student of the prestigious Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach.
