Failed Reality

Ex- tennis star Chris Evert of the US is to divorce her husband of eighteen years Andy Mill. They officially brought the curtains down on their marriage in a Fort Lauderdale Fla. Family court.

The Olympic skier Mills and tennis legend Evert had earlier announced their split in October in a mutual decision, in what Evert termed the marriage between the two as irretrievably broken. Both have three sons from their marriage – aged 15, 12, and 10 years. They were mainly concerned about their sons. “Our main concern is for our three sons. We know we have some difficult times ahead, together and apart, and hope that our family’s privacy will be respected.” both echoed their sentiments.

Chris Evert was earlier married to English tennis star John Lloyd for eight years, after which they divorced.

In the settlement arrived at, Evert will pay Mill $7 million in cash and security, apart from the Aspen, Colorado vacation home valued at $4 million, and a few cars too, including a Porsche. Evert will retain her $2.8 million home in Lake Worth, Fla. Besides, Evert gets the custody of their three sons with Mill allowed “reasonable” visitation rights.

According to Palm Beach Post, Mill said: “This was the worst day of my life. Now I need to concentrate on being the best father I can be to our boys because they’re the most important things in my life. Chris understands they need me as much as they need her. We need to reestablish a balance in our lives.”
