🎉 TFI Friday is making a comeback and Chris Evans is back in the spotlight! Remember when he was all over the headlines for his whirlwind marriage with Billie Piper and his lifetime ban from a major golf tournament? Let’s dive into some nostalgic moments! 🌟
Chris, now fronting Virgin Radio, first tied the knot with actress Billie Piper when she was just 18. Despite their 17-year age gap, they had a fun-filled, albeit brief, marriage from 2001 to 2007. Billie once said about their time together, “We were inseparable, like on a honeymoon for two years. It was sad to part ways, but we remained great friends.”
Billie went on to marry Laurence Fox, and later musician Johnny Lloyd, while Chris has been happily married to Natasha Shishmanian since 2007. Billie even attended their wedding! It’s heartwarming to see such lasting friendships despite their past.
But that’s not all! Chris made headlines again in 2011 when he was banned from competing in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship after winning with pro golfer Nick Dougherty. It was all because of questions surrounding his 10 handicap, after their unprecedented 40-under-par victory. 🎯 His cheeky response? “If we were kids in the playground, the boy who owns the ball just took it home because his team didn’t win.” 😂
Even though Chris isn’t competing in this prestigious pro-am anymore, big names like Michael Douglas, Samuel L. Jackson, and Andy Murray continue to grace the tournament. It’s clear that Chris’s antics and charisma still linger in the air!
