Exclusive pictures: “If this isn’t the cutest” – Chris Evert gushes over son Nicholas bonding with his newborn baby Hayden
Chris Evert recently gushed over her son Nicholas bonding with his newborn baby Hayden. Evert announced the arrival of her grandchild on May 26. Evert has three sons with her second husband Andy Mill: Alexander, Nicholas, and Colton Jack. The couple called it quits after 18 years of marriage in 2006.
The American was previously married to British tennis player John Lloyd before their divorce in 1987. She was also married to Australian golfer Greg Norman but got divorced in 2009.
Her second son, Nicholas Mill got married to his wife, Rebecca, in 2022. They welcomed their first child, a son Hayden, on May 23. Chris Evert took to Instagram to announce the birth of her grandchild and thanked the couple for bringing more love into their family.
On May 26, the American shared a picture of her son Nicholas with baby Hayden in his arms and gushed over their bonding.
Evert retired from tennis in 1989 after a glorious career, winning 18 Grand Slam titles. She won titles on all surfaces including a record seven titles at the French Open. After her retirement, she served as the president of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) from 1975- 76 and then again from 1983-91.
Chris Evert still remains connected with tennis and strongly opposed WTA Finals being staged in Saudi Arabia
“I mean… if this isn’t the cutest picture,” Chris Evert wrote.
Chris Evert remains one of the strongest critics of awarding Saudi Arabia the hosting rights to the WTA Finals. She voiced her opposition, along with her arch-rival-turned-friend Martina Navratilova, through an opinion piece in the Washington Post in January 2024.
They wrote that WTA values do not align with the Kingdom’s and hence rewarding Saudi Arabia with the WTA’s crown jewel would not be right.
“We fully appreciate the importance of respecting diverse cultures and religions. It is because of this, and not despite it, that we oppose the awarding of the tour’s crown jewel tournament to Riyadh. The WTA’s values sit in stark contrast to those of the proposed host,” they wrote in Washington Post.
Evert and Navratilova urged the WTA authorities to take a stand for human rights, and especially women’s rights.
“The WTA must stand for human rights so long as inequality for women exists in the world. We offer this from our experiences: A champion is carved not just from trophies, or earnings, but from the decision to surrender comfort and luxury to make hard choices and take principled stands,” they concluded.
