The eventful life of Martina Navratilova would provide material for a multi-part series, both in sport and in personal terms. In addition to 18 Grand Slam titles alone, Navratilova is also actively involved in the social field. Especially with regard to the acceptance of same-sex partnerships.
But now the TV circus has found its way into the tennis icon, who was born in the former Czechoslovakia. More precisely: with Navratilova's wife Julia Lemigova. She was hired for the current season of the reality TV show "The Real Housewives of Miami". And Martina Navratilova is right in the middle of it all. Out of love for her partner, as Navratilova told the WTA website. Because she is more likely to run away when she sees a camera.
Navratilova has been a US citizen since 1981
Navratilova and Lemigova only moved to a new home in Miami a few weeks ago, and they had to improvise a lot for Christmas. "It looks like a cartoon with all the cardboard boxes lying around," said Navratilova, who emigrated to the United States in 1975. Six years later, citizenship was retained.
The distribution of roles does not seem to be very clear yet. Is Martina Navratilova now a TV housewife? “I'm just trying to find out. Julia is the housewife - but I do most of the cleaning. ”At the moment, however, only Lemigova is on the payroll of the TV production. With Martina Navratilova's well-known quick-wittedness, that could soon change.
