Martina Navratilova and Julia Lemigova embarked on a significant new chapter of their lives on August 14, 2024, when they adopted two young boys. This marked the 68-year-old's first experience as a mother.

In an interview with People at the recently attended Bravo Film Festival, Lemigova shared her experience of adopting her sons and how she spent time with them in these three months.

"I'm sleep-deprived but so happy. It's becoming a reality because it's only been three months, but it's been a very intense, loving, incredible, three months," she said.

Lemigova revealed that when they married, Navratilova assured her that she would spend less time on social media. However, it took years for her to reduce her usage, largely due to the demands of motherhood.

"When we got married, [Navratilova] promised me, one of her vows was she would get off social media a little bit because she's constantly on Twitter [now X] and that it took her how many years of marriage to actually be less on social media because of the boys because now she has no time," she added.

When announcing the adoption in August, Navratilova shared her joy, stating she felt "over the moon."
