Chris Evert Turns Grateful in an Emotional Message to Ex-Husband for His Unending Support in Her Cancer Battle
Chris Evert has shared an emotional message thanking her ex-husband Andy Mill for his unwavering support throughout her cancer journey. Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in early 2022, Evert has faced intense treatment, including chemotherapy sessions that have taken both a physical and emotional toll. During this difficult time, her family, including Mill, played a vital role in supporting her.
In her heartfelt reflections, Evert called Mill her “greatest friend,” highlighting the special bond they’ve maintained since their divorce in 2006. Andy Mill was by her side at critical moments, accompanying her to treatments and being a steady source of comfort.
Evert’s gratitude for Mill’s support extended beyond their past as a married couple, reflecting the deep respect and friendship they’ve built. This relationship, she expressed, has been invaluable in helping her stay strong and resilient amid the uncertainties of cancer treatment.
Evert’s journey has also included sharing her experience publicly, hoping to inspire others to prioritize health and early detection. She has candidly discussed the challenges of cancer and the impact of losing her sister Jeanne to the same disease, which motivated her to pursue testing.
Evert now urges others to be proactive with health screenings, emphasizing that Jeanne’s passing ultimately “saved her life” by prompting her to seek diagnosis at an early stage.
In addition to her ex-husband’s support, Evert has shared how her three sons and her sister Clare have been her “rocks,” a constant presence reminding her of the love that surrounds her. Through her journey and message, Evert aims to highlight the strength found in family bonds, even when traditional definitions shift, and the importance of loved ones in facing life’s most difficult battles.
