Alexander Mill has consistently been a pillar of support for his mother throughout her battle with cancer. In December 2023, Evert revealed that her cancer had returned, only months after celebrating being cancer-free.

The 18-time Grand Slam singles champion underwent surgery and chemotherapy, eventually being declared cancer-free in June 2024. During her recovery, Alexander regularly visited her and joined in tennis sessions, offering both emotional support and a boost to her morale.

In October 2024, Evert shared a heartfelt tribute for Alexander Mill's 33rd birthday on Instagram, posting a series of photos from their journey together. She expressed gratitude for his unwavering support, calling him her "rock."

"Happy 33rd Birthday to my amazing son Alex. Thank you for being my rock the last few years when I've needed you. Watching you grow into the kind and caring person you are today fills me with pride. Here's to many more years of love, happiness, and adventure! ❤️ Mom," Evert wrote.
