Former tennis world No 1 Martina Navratilova and her wife Julia Lemigova have adopted two young boys, agent Mary Greenham told the PA news agency. Navratilova said: “We are over the moon, recognising the challenges and the rewards for everybody.” The Real Housewives of Miami star Lemigova revealed during the show’s fifth season in 2022 that the pair had plans for adoption early on.
However, Navratilova’s breast and throat cancer diagnosis quickly put those plans on hold. “When you’re adopting a child, it has to be about the child. And, right now, it’s everything about Martina, and for her getting healthy.
So, we’re putting it on hold,” she said on the show. In 2023, Navratilova was declared cancer free. Here’s everything we know about Julia Lemigova, the former model who has stood by her wife through a cancer battle and is welcoming two new kids into the family.
