"My wife, & my children are my safe space" - Martina Navratilova's wife Julia Lemigova gets emotional over family amid personal turmoil

Julia Lemigova, wife of tennis legend Martina Navratilova and star of The Real Housewives of Miami, shared that her "safe space" lies with her children and farm animals. Lemigova is currently navigating personal turmoil amid swirling rumors of infidelity.

Lemigova has seen a dramatic rise in scrutiny during Season 7. Her public fallout with long-time friends Guerdy Abraira and Adriana de Moura has played out under intense media scrutiny.

Meanwhile, Lemigova also weathered persistent cheating rumors, including claims of an affair with Captain Sandy Yawn. The allegation, however, has been debunked as unfounded.

In an exclusive interview with OK! Magazine, Lemigova opened up about what keeps her centered during RHOM’s chaos.

"I do my best to stay grounded... I know who I am. But my wife, my children, my boys, my daughters, my animals, they are my safe space. They are what gives me my energy and emotional well-being," Martina Navratilova's wife Lemigova said.

Lemigova, a devoted animal lover, often finds comfort in caring for her farm animals alongside her family. She frequently posts about her farm’s goats, cows, donkeys, and dogs.
