10 high profile couples who broke up

#2 Chris Evert – Jimmy Connors

Chris Evert and Jimmy Connors were high profile names in tennis during the 70s and 80s. The American pair were dubbed the ‘Love Double’ and were the darlings of the fans. Both of them got engaged after winning the men’s and women’s Wimbledon in 1974. A wedding was planned in the same year but their romance did not last that long. The wedding was called off much to the disappointment of the fans.

Later, in his autobiography, Connors claimed both of them were unfaithful to each other in their relationship and Evert even had an abortion against his wishes. Evert went on to marry British tennis player John Lloyd in 1979, but the marriage fell apart.
