This was a very closely held secret back then. Those who were privy to the situation were inside the inner-inner circle.
Apparently three Number 1’s couldn’t exist in their family.

Move over Paul Anka.
IMHO... it is in really bad taste to discuss this incident in a tell all book.
“This was a very closely held secret back then.”
In my opinion it should still be a closely held secret...unless Mr Conners has cleared this with Ms Evert.
I’d be interested in Chris’s side of the story.
Why would someone drag out the personal details about an old girlfriend for the whole world to see? Does he think he needs to do this to sell books?
This is not the way a gentleman acts.
Don’t forget, Jimmy was the “bad boy of tennis” until McEnroe showed up and everyone forgot about him.
Thanks for sharing Jimmy.
Couldn’t agree more - and a lot of people would have had to sign off and letting this in the book - ghost writer (?), editor, publisher etc. Yet they all thought it a good idea? #smh
My mother loved Chris Evert and thought she was the sweetest, most wonderful young lady. She would not like to hear this news, and she would probably excuse “Chrissie.” My mother also loved bad boy Jimmy.
So, now, we’ll see the “outing” of abortions? Oh, joy./s

and this is a story from him not her...I consider him a louse to report it since she never has.
I don’t know one way or the other but I do know that Chris Evert went on to become a wife and mother.....Overall it seems as though her life has been filled with much pain and instability. Perhaps being a super star sports hero at a young age is not a good thing
Connors a gentleman???
Where have you been for the past 50 years. He was an insufferable brat while still a preteen.

The book’s publisher likely made sure of that.
