Chris Evert beams with joy over son Nicholas and grandson Hayden’s heartwarming bond
Tennis legend Chris Evert gushed over her son Nicholas Mill bonding with his nine-month-old son Hayden James. Evert became a grandmother on May 24, 2024, when her son Nicholas and daughter-in-law Rebecca welcomed Hayden. Evert has always cherished her role as a mother to three sons—Alexander, Nicholas, and Colton—whom she shares with her former husband, Olympic skier Andy Mill. Nicholas, born in 1994, followed a different career path from his legendary mother, currently co-hosting the “Mill House” podcast alongside his father.
Evert shared the adorable image of her son Nicholas embracing her grandson Hayden on her Instagram account on February 22, 2025, with a caption:
“Like father, like son.”
In an interview with BNPParibas.com earlier this month, Chris Evert candidly discussed her expanding family and the joys of becoming a grandmother. She warmly referred to her daughter-in-law, Rebecca, as the “daughter she never had” and expressed her happiness at watching her family grow.
“Well, first of all, my daughter in law is the daughter that I always wanted,” Chris Evert said. “I mean, she’s perfect. My grandchild Hayden is, wow, again, I never everyone kept saying, ‘Wait until you have a grandchild.’ I thought nothing can top having a child.” Evert described grandparenthood as “twice” the fun and shared her excitement about being a lively presence in her grandson Hayden James’s life.
