Tennis legend Martina Navratilova and her wife, Julia Lemigova, found themselves at the center of a media firestorm this week after revelations aired on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Miami reunion. The surprising admission has prompted viewers to question the future of the couple’s relationship.
What Did Martina Navratilova’s Wife Julia Lemigova Say in the Viral Clip?
Navratilova first crossed paths with former model and beauty queen Lemigova in 2000 at a bar, but their romance did not blossom until eight years later at the French Open in Paris. After meeting again in 2008, Lemigova invited the tennis legend to breakfast, and their friendship soon deepened. Navratilova famously proposed during the 2014 U.S. Open, with the proposal projected on Arthur Ashe Stadium’s Jumbotron, and the couple wed in New York on December 15, 2014.
Over the years, the duo has celebrated milestones together, including the adoption of two sons and Lemigova’s historic appearance on The Real Housewives of Miami as the franchise’s first openly LGBTQ cast.
However, during the Season 7 reunion aired October 2, Lemigova confessed to host Andy Cohen that she had slept with fellow castmate Adriana de Moura “in the Hamptons.” She explained that their marriage “was not great” at the time, suggesting a period of strain that led to the encounter.

So why would you cheat on your wife? #RHOM U act so high & mighty but we watched you for years flirt with Adriana that you can tell your own wife noticed. Your bomb shell isn’t what you think it is! It just shows what kind a person you are.”
