Chris Evert remains beloved both inside and outside the world of professional tennis; her latest headline demonstrates this by featuring an adorable family moment between Evert and her sons that shows warmth and humor between them – specifically her younger son’s amusing response to an endearing birthday message Evert posted for him!
Evert has long expressed her deep affection for her three sons from her second marriage with Andy Mill. On Instagram she took time out to honor eldest son Alex Mill on his 33rd birthday by thanking him as “my rock”. Seeing how kind and caring he has become fills me with pride; here’s to many more years of happiness, excitement, and adventure with Mom Evert!”
This loving gesture comes after Evert publicly battled ovarian cancer, a time during which her sons were steadfast in their support. However, it was Nicholas Mill’s witty retort to her Instagram post that caught attention. Expressing feigned surprise, Nicholas remarked, “Wait, I thought I was the rock?” This exchange underlines the close-knit bond Evert shares with all her boys, including her third child, Colton Jack Mill.
Evert, in the past, has opened up about her parenting approach, aiming for a balance different from her own strict upbringing. She opted for a more understanding and lenient relationship with her sons, nurturing them to become compassionate individuals. “Because my upbringing was so strict, so black and white with no gray, I went the other way with my sons. I listened to them; let them talk me into letting them stay up an extra hour at bedtime. I probably could have been stricter, but I’d tell them, “Just do your best.” As a result, they are very kind and loving,” she explained.
Evert was amusingly candid about trying to interest her sons in tennis by offering them an incentive. Unfortunately, however, tennis did not captivate their sons the same way that it had her. Yet her tale offered a delightful look into their family dynamics and love that bound them.
As Chris Evert’s fandom eagerly anticipates whether she responds to Nicholas’s comment about Chris Evert, they appreciate this rare peek into their favorite athlete’s family life.
