PAARL, South Africa (AP) -- Chris Evert and Greg Norman are engaged, less than a year after divorces from longtime spouses.
The couple got engaged Sunday night, said Tami Starr, director of Chris Evert Charities in Boca Raton, Fla.
"They're not sure of a wedding date yet," Starr said. "They're both extremely happy they've found each other."
Evert, who won 18 Grand Slam singles titles, wore a large diamond on her ring finger at a news conference Friday to announce a new tennis center at Pearl Valley Golf Estates, which is hosting the South African Open. Norman is playing in the tournament.
Evert and former husband Andy Mill, a World Cup and Olympic skier from Colorado, divorced last December after 18 years of marriage. The 52-year-old tennis great previously was married to British tennis player John Lloyd.
In September, Norman reached a multimillion-dollar divorce settlement with his wife of 26 years, Laura Andrassy. The 52-year-old Australian won the British Open in 1986 and 1993.

Man, Chrissy was the only reason I watched tennis when I was younger. She was and still is a very beautiful lady. I hope this is the the last stop on the marriage go-round for her. I don't follow golf that closely so I don't know if Norman even plays competitively any more, but maybe with her 18 Grand slam singles titles she can teach "The shark" how to finish strong and win some more tourneys =)
Whatever........ They seem made for each other!
