Melbourne, Oct 28 : Aussie professional golfer Greg Norman’s ex-wife Laura Andrassy has blamed his friendship with former tennis player Chris Evert as being the cause of the break up of their marriage.

She made the revelation on TV on October 27, saying she “would love to have (her) family together”, while laying the blame for the split squarely on Evert.

Andrassy recalled a moment when she had met Evert while still married to the golfer, and how her “woman''s intuition” told her something was amiss.

“Probably the first time they came out to our ranch in Colorado, I felt there was something uncomfortable but I never felt it from Greg,” News. com. au quoted her as saying.

“I kept saying to him, ‘I don''t know what''s going on but I''m not blaming you. There''s just something not right here’.

“To me, she was (making it obvious she was attracted to Norman). I''ve never encountered a woman like that before. But as I said, I was never threatened by her. She''s not the kind of woman you feel threatened by,” she added.

Andrassy and Norman announced the end of their 25-year marriage back in May 2006, triggering a protracted and messy battle over assets.

Evert and Norman wed in the Bahamas earlier this year. (ANI)
