Greg Norman’s wife is interior designer Kirsten Kutner, who wed the Australian golf legend in November 2010. She is his third wife and for years they have been a fixture at tennis tournaments, golf events and Olympic hospitality suites. But she gives very few interviews and that is why a lot of people are looking for her.
Biography sites have filled that gap and often contradict each other. This biography of Kirsten Kutner is based on what major outlets and official sources have reported and simply states where the public record ends.
Who Is Kirsten Kutner?
In 2010, when her engagement to Norman was announced, the Australian and US press called her a Sydney interior designer and mother of two. Today, she is the founder of Norman Design Group, which the Greg Norman company website, states designs interiors and architecture for Greg Norman-branded residential communities. She is working under the name of Kirsten Norman, although photo agencies and news captions still call her Kirsten Kutner.
A few quick facts:
- Famous for: Greg Norman’s third wife and an interior designer
- Business: Founder, Norman Design Group
- Married: November 2010, Necker Island, British Virgin Islands
- Family: Two daughters from a previous marriage; no children reported with Norman
Kirsten Kutner’s Early Life and Family Background
Reliable detail is lacking here. Early reports said Sydney, and one biography site lists her birthplace as Sydney. Another says she is of German and Filipino heritage, born in Bangkok and partly raised in the United States. Both cannot be true and neither claim can be traced back to a primary source.
According to a golf-news profile, the one thing we know most reliably about her family is that her parents worked for a company that sponsored a tournament, which is the tournament where she first met Norman in the 1990s. Her names, the names of her parents, her siblings and her schools are spread all over the internet but none of it is verified so it is not included here.
Kirsten Kutner’s Age and Birth Date
She has not confirmed her exact birth date from any primary source. Many sites list May 7, 1968, but the reporting does not fall into a neat line. Wire coverage in October 2010 listed her age as 41, making her 14 years younger than Norman, who was born in February 1955. That would mean a birth in 1968 or 1969. However, a 2023 magazine article claimed she was 55, which would make her a 1968 baby.
The safest answer to the Kirsten Kutner age question is that she is in her mid to late 50s. There are several reports of a May birthday but the year and the day has not been confirmed.
Kirsten Kutner’s Career and Professional Life
Kirsten Kutner’s career is in design. According to her official company site, Norman has been in the five-star hospitality design business for over 20 years, inspired by extensive travel. Her firm, Norman Design Group, is associated with the residential communities named for her husband.
Other properties credit her with some hotel projects, clothing ventures and real estate work. These claims are found on secondary sites without any source and one site even refers to her as a textile designer for knickers which no other source supports. They are not repeated on this page.
How Did Kirsten Kutner Meet Greg Norman?
Their paths reportedly first crossed at a golf event in the 1990s. Kutner wasn’t a huge golf fan and was there because her parents were friends with the sponsor. Coverage of her remarks said her parents were impressed by Norman.
But their relationship was made public much later. In 2010, The Palm Beach Post reported that the two had a prior connection that rekindled while Norman was in the throes of his divorce from tennis star Chris Evert. Norman’s first wife, Laura Andrassy, told a Sydney newspaper she had learned of an earlier involvement in the early 1990s and a Norman spokesperson declined to comment. That’s where the documentary record stops.
You may also find claims that the pair met on a business trip to Egypt in 2009. That story is from a less-credible site and conflicts with the more credible reports above.
Greg Norman and Kirsten Kutner’s Marriage
In October 2010, Norman told Australia’s New Idea magazine that he had proposed to Kutner, presenting her with a six-carat diamond ring. It came less than a year after his divorce from Evert, whom he married in the Bahamas in 2008.
The ceremony was held on Necker Island in early November 2010. Sources differ as to the exact date: New Idea lists the couple’s anniversary as November 6, but another outlet says November 1. Greg Norman’s marriage to Kutner has lasted well over 15 years either side.
Norman has gone public with anniversaries. It is reported he posted a tribute with sixteen photographs of her to mark their 14th, with New Idea quoting Kutner describing the marriage as a long-term partnership. The same piece said some critics doubted it would stick.
Kirsten Kutner’s Children and Family Life
Kutner has two daughters from an earlier marriage. He has two grown children, Morgan-Leigh and Greg Jr., from a previous marriage. New Idea has called the combined household a blended family. There are no credible accounts of children born to Kutner and Norman together.
Her daughters are not public figures and their names, ages and schools are therefore omitted. The extended family has grown more recently with Greg Jr. and his wife Michelle Thomson welcoming a son, Knox, and Norman sharing the news on Instagram.
The Untold Story Behind Kirsten Kutner’s Life
There is no scandal here in secret, and the most interesting element of the story is the best documented. Long before either had imagined a wedding, Kutner met a golf superstar at a tournament she attended only because of her parents’ work. The connection returned years later and by late 2010 she was no longer a private citizen but one of golf’s most photographed spouses.
And it’s worth noting how little she’s trafficked in that attention, too. She had a career in design both before and after marriage, and maintains a low-key social media presence.
Kirsten Kutner’s Net Worth and Lifestyle
There is no credible figure for Kirsten Kutner’s net worth. Estimates on the web range from less than $1 million to $100 million, none of which are sourced, which is a good reason to ignore them all.
What you see is the public side of her life. Her photo archives include images of her with Norman at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, London 2012 Olympic events and the LIV Golf London event in 2022. The couple’s home has been reported to be in South Florida, including a Jupiter Island property that was renovated in the early 2020s.
Where Is Kirsten Kutner Today?
The last reliable report had Kutner in Florida with Norman, working through her design firm and showing up at occasional events. Her primary public outlet is her Instagram, @kirstenpnorman. Aside from that there hasn’t been any recent reporting on her day to day activities, and it wouldn’t be fair to guess.
