Kirsten Kutner’s Relationship with her Former-Golfer Husband Greg Norman

Kirsten married the former world no 1, Norman on Sunday, Nov 2010 at a secret Caribbean ceremony on Necker Island, the British Virgin Island isle of billionaire Richard Branson.

It was the third marriage for Greg and the second for Kutner. Norman sometime after the wedding said it was a barefoot beach ceremony on a private island with a small gathering of family and friends.

The Queensland-born golfer told New Idea magazine that everyone was barefoot and dressed in white. During the time of their marriage, the World Golf Hall Of Fame talking about his wife said,

“To me, she is the most beautiful woman in the world. She looked stunning.”

As for his wife, Kirsten, the designer said, “I feel very proud to be by Greg’s side, to take his name, and to support him in every way I can.”

Kutner, an interior designer, called Norman “the big love of my life” and said she was “definitely the luckiest woman on this earth.”

Norman went public with his relationship with Kutner less than six months after divorcing Evert, his second wife. The winner of two major golf tournaments had asked Kirsten to marry him in early 2010 and had announced the news a month before the wedding.

Greg proposed Kutner with a six-carat diamond ring. Norman apparently asked the question when he and Kirsten were standing in the kitchen chatting about their day.

“One minute we were having a day-to-day conversation and the next moment, all of a sudden, everything changed — our lives changed. It was perfect,”

Norman reported.

Where did Kirsten and Greg meet each other?

The designer and the golfer apparently were also long-time friends of each other. Norman and Kutner had been friends in the past but reunited 14 years later in Cairo. They had initially met at a golf tournament.

Kirsten, though, had no interest in the sport. She was there because her parents worked with a company that sponsored the event where Norman was playing, so she attended it with them. However, that was that and the future couple went their separate ways after that first encounter and didn’t meet again for another 14 years.

Their second meet-up happened in Cairo where they were working on each of their projects. Greg was building a golf course, as part of his golf and lifestyle business that had grown substantially since he first met Kutner.

Ms. Norman, on the other hand, was finishing the interior design of the Fairmont Towers Hotel.

It was after that that they got to develop their relationship. Though some say they had started seeing each other in the early ’90s when Greg was still the husband of his first wife, Laura Andrassy. For years after their marriage, Kirsten Kutner and Greg Norman resided in Hobe Sound, Florida.

The 20 times winner of the PGA Tour filed for divorce from Andrassy in 2006. A court battle lasted nearly two years before Norman and Laura reached an agreement that saw the former receive $103 million.

Andrassy and Norman have two adult children – son Greg and daughter Morgan. After Laura, Greg married Chris Evert, a former American tennis star in 2008. They, however, would also part ways barely 15 months after their lavish wedding in the Bahamas.

The two had a quickie Key West divorce in December 2009. Less than six months after divorcing Evert, Norman went public with his relationship with his now-wife Ms. Kutner.

In an interview, Laura, however, claimed when the former Japan Golf Tour winner married Kirsten in 2010, he was marrying more than just a friend.

The year was 1995. The Aussie golfer had been married to Andrassy for 14 years. Greg then from his multi-million dollar waterfront Florida mansion, gradually started talking to his current wife, Kristen.

Norman was talking to this woman in secret and this lady was none other than Kirsten herself. The two had apparently been keeping in touch since their first meeting at a golf tournament two years earlier.

Laura didn’t talk about this liaison between Norman and his current wife until after their 2010 marriage.

It also came to light that Andrassy’s decision to not talk about it, in the beginning, was because of the conditions of the divorce settlement. The very terms that she and her ex-husband had signed.

“There is a lot to the story. It does have something to do with me, but it doesn’t have anything to do with me anymore – and I’ve moved on,”

Andrassy said in May 2010 to Woman’s Day Australia.

How Did Laura Know About Greg And Kristen Affair?

All in all, Laura stated her and Greg’s marriage woes began when she overheard him organizing an illicit rendezvous with Kirsten in 1995.

When they were having one of their secret conversations, Laura one day happened to intercept the phone call to their palatial home. By that stage, an insider says, the 1986 Open Championship Winner and Kirsten, then in her twenties, had been seeing each other for at least two years.

A source said everything was in the open when Andrassy picked up the phone and overheard them having a conversation about meeting up.

After that when Laura confronted Greg about it. Post the confrontation, he had agreed to break off his relationship with Kirsten to save his marriage because, as a parent, he believed it was the right thing to do.

For years, the ex-couple worked to repair the damage Greg’s affair had done. In May 2006, they, nonetheless, announced they would divorce.
