Meanwhile, the wedding was planned for the 8th of November 1974. The romance did not last, and hence the engagement was called off.
She then got married to John Lloyd, a British tennis player 1979, and the union saw to its end in 1987.

All the same, Chris’ last marriage added up to the list of her past failed affairs only after 15 months of their “I do’s.”
She confessed-
We had a rough couple of years, because I married Greg Norman who was Andy's friend.
Andy and I are still a family without living together. I think that’s the best way to put it.
I broke a lot of hearts. I broke Andy’s heart and I broke my kids’ hearts and I brought that into my next marriage.
Despite many attempts to maintaining a conventional marriage, she failed at it many times, and the perks from all of this, Chris definately got to learn lessons in life that would serve her in the coming days.
Married Now?
"Marriage is up and down,"- said Chris out of her experiences, and she sure has great many relationship advice to give to keep the spark going on - "If you sense that you are drifting apart, you've got to confront the issue then and there."
In recent times, Chris has indulged herself in getting the best out of her remaining days.
She confirmed to not dating anybody and also not seeking for one, let alone a husband.
Spending her days staying fit, eating healthy, and appreciating her success on many levels has helped her a lot in overcoming all the dramas in life she lived with up until now.
