Is Chris Evert married?

As of 2022, Chris is not married. In fact, she is totally single. On Aug. 23, a fan tweeted Petra Kvitova to say congratulations on her engagement. They jokingly pulled Chris into the mix. The fan wrote, “Congratulations @Petra_Kvitova. @ChrissieEvert, don’t get any ideas and marry another athlete!”

To that, Chris responded by saying, “You got that right.” She added a few playful emojis including a crying face, a hand covering the mouth, and a winky face. In other words, Chris seemingly agrees that marrying another athlete probably wouldn’t be the best idea for her.

Although Chris isn’t married right now, she still has plenty to keep her busy.

Although Chris is totally single in 2022, she still has an incredibly busy schedule. On Instagram, she revealed that she’s involved in the jewelry industry at this point in time. She collaborated with a jewelry designer named Monica Rich Kosann to create an authentic tennis bracelet.

She posted about her collaboration saying, “You might know about the story of how I lost my diamond bracelet at the US Open in 1978. [The] play was halted until I found it, and since then, it became a pivotal moment where the name 'tennis bracelet' grew to be a part of our fine jewelry lexicon. For decades, I have not had a voice in this fine jewelry category, until today. It was so much fun working with Monica and her team throughout the branding and design process."

Chris also posted about her interview on HBO Real Sports where she shared the details of her ovarian cancer battle with the world. In her caption, she expressed just how difficult it was to overcome her cancer, both physically and mentally.
