Superstar sporting couple Greg Norman and Chris Evert reveal all exclusively to Woman’s Day about their star-studded big day.

As tennis legend Chris Evert and Aussie golfing superstar Greg Norman walked down the aisle in the Bahamas at sunset on June 28 — watched by 140 friends — they only had eyes for each other.

“When I looked at Greg, I realised that I felt he and I were the only ones there,” says an emotional Chris, speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day after the wedding. “Every word I was saying I meant.”

It was a marriage of sports royalty. Greg, 53, known as The Great White Shark, has wins including 20 PGA Tour events, and spent 331 weeks as the world’s number-one golfer in the 1980s and 1990s. Chris, 53, is a sports icon, with an extraordinary 18 grand slam tennis titles. For seven years in the 1970s and 1980s she was the world’s number-one female singles player.

Their Bahamas wedding had everything. There was a glamorous location in the exclusive One&Only Ocean Club, elegant dining, and celebrity guests including US TV anchor Matt Lauer, Australian tennis legend Wendy Turnbull, and golfers Steve Elkington, Raymond Floyd and Scott McCarron.
