Martina Navratilova and Julia Lemigova's Relationship Rollercoaster: From Crisis to Reconciliation

In October 2025, 'Real Housewives of Miami' star Julia Lemigova is speaking out about the challenges in her marriage to tennis legend Martina Navratilova. Lemigova reveals that during a particularly difficult period in their relationship, which she describes as a "midlife crisis," she had been intimate with her co-star and friend, Adriana de Moura. This admission stunned viewers and sparked speculation about the state of Lemigova's marriage.

Lemigova explains that she and Navratilova had decided to open up their relationship during this tumultuous time, but the experience caused Navratilova significant pain. The couple then engaged in incredibly difficult conversations that could have ended their marriage. However, Lemigova says this ordeal surprisingly had the opposite effect, serving as a critical wake-up call for both of them. It made them more committed to repairing the fractures in their relationship and communicating better.

Now, Lemigova confirms that she and Navratilova are in a very strong and stable place. She emphasizes that her marriage is the most sacred part of her life and that she has taken full responsibility for the hurt she caused. Navratilova has practiced forgiveness, even as the indiscretion became a public spectacle. Lemigova's two adult daughters from previous relationships have become her key support system during this difficult time.

The couple's focus has now shifted to their new family, as they adopted two sons last year. Lemigova shares that the boys are doing wonderfully, and this new focus has helped them heal and come together for the good, a process she describes as both emotional and a "very happy time."
