Julia Lemigova and Martina Navratilova Adopt Two Boys

Julia Lemigova, a star of "Real Housewives of Miami," and her wife, tennis legend Martina Navratilova, have officially adopted two young boys, as confirmed by their representatives. The couple expressed their joy and requested privacy as they welcome the new members into their family. Navratilova shared her excitement, acknowledging both the challenges and rewards that come with expanding their family. This announcement follows Lemigova's previous comments about their adoption plans, which had been delayed due to Navratilova's battle with stage 1 throat and breast cancer. In December 2023, Lemigova expressed hope for family expansion, a sentiment she reiterated during Season 5 of "RHOM." However, in a March interview with Piers Morgan, Navratilova had expressed doubts about adopting another child, reflecting on her health challenges and age. Lemigova, who made history as the first openly lesbian "Housewife" in the franchise's reboot, is already a mother to two adult daughters from previous relationships. Navratilova, who married Lemigova in 2014, has been a significant figure in the lives of her stepchildren. The couple's family history includes the tragic loss of Lemigova's son, Maximilien, who died as a baby under mysterious circumstances. As the sixth season of "The Real Housewives of Miami" concluded in March, filming for the next installment is set to begin soon, with the series available for streaming on Peacock.
