Lemigova’s lifestyle on RHOM has won her many fans, drawing comparisons between Southwest Ranches in Florida and Green Acres. Lemigova often drives a pickup truck while tending to her flock of quail, geese, donkeys, and turtles – as well as offering freshly laid eggs in pink egg cartons at dinner parties!

Additionally, she is a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and married Martina Navratilova a Czech-American former professional tennis player.
Lemigova quickly found herself at odds with several cast members during RHOM season 5; Dr. Nicole Martin and Lisa Hochstein over alleged drug dealer connections came under her scrutiny, as did Adriana de Moura regarding her new high-rise condo purchase.
Lemigova and Navratilova had planned on adopting a child, however, their plans had to be put on hold after Navratilova was diagnosed with stage 1 throat cancer and early-stage breast cancer.
Lemigova has built herself a name in fashion as an internationally acclaimed international model who worked with top-tier brands worldwide. Additionally, as former Executive Editor of Venue magazine she kept abreast of current trends. A Miami Housewife with an eye for fashion she can often be found wearing glamorous evening gowns at lavish dinner parties and can often be found sporting sexy evening gowns herself!

Julia Lemigova’s Social Media
Julia Lemigova is an award-winning former beauty queen and model who now owns multiple social media accounts through which she shares photos and updates with her followers. Additionally, Julia owns both a spa and skincare brand in Moscow as well as Russian ancestry; in 1990 she participated in the Miss USSR competition as its first runner-up; later she became a partner to tennis icon Martina Navratilova whom she eventually married as his partner.
At first glance, she seems like a strong candidate, yet recently faced cheating allegations that have shocked fans of The Real Housewives of Miami star Martina Navratilova (nee Martinsen). An insider claimed they witnessed her getting too physical with someone at a restaurant.
Since 2014, Martina and Julia have been happily married. The two met as Paris-based models while living apart but eventually reunited after 14 years apart – instantly falling in love, Martina proposed at the U.S. Open and to much fan delight proposed on that very same night!
But Larsa and Julia don’t always get along on the show – their feuding is one of the main storylines this season as Julia often finds herself at odds with her co-stars; Larsa Pippen in particular has taken to berating Julia for trying to “destroy” her marriage.
Alexia Nepola has taken to criticizing Guerdy Abraira’s new attitude toward Alexia Nepola. They used to get along, until Alexia’s wedding to Todd became too hectic, leading her to hire Guerdy for event planning services – this angered Guerdy who decided that Alexia should remain her best friend instead.
Also on tap for this season are dramas with other ladies, including Larsa’s fight with Lisa Hochstein that resulted in insults being exchanged; ongoing tension between Larsa and Julia as well as between Julia and Adriana de Moura; so there should be plenty of fireworks!

Julia Lemigova rose to prominence as the first openly LGBTQ Housewife of the Real Housewives franchise, appearing on its Miami-set sequel and serving as an outlet for Lemigova to promote her partner and fight for gay rights. She currently stars in that show’s Miami spin-off.

They have been married since 2014 and Lemigova recently indicated her desire to expand her family by considering adoption; Lemigova’s wish came following Navratilova’s cancer diagnosis and subsequent remission.
At the RHOM season 5 reunion, Lemigova expressed her wish to become a mother once more. She enjoys working with children and was eager to start her own family; her husband provided support throughout their planning processes.
Lemigova’s journey to parenthood was not without difficulty, however. Her first child, Maximilien, died tragically at six months after suffering from shaken baby syndrome – further compounding this tragedy with news that his nanny may have been involved.
Lemigova remains private about her personal life; however, she has indicated that she and her wife share an amorous relationship and do not intend to raise their children separately. Additionally, Lemigova says her family members in Russia–where LGBTQ rights remain limited–have been supportive of their on-screen romance.
Lemigova has also appeared in other shows outside of RHOM; her Russian television show is called Nadejda and she’s featured in various movies like Breakfast at Tiffany’s (coming soon!). Lemigova stands 5 feet 8 inches; even when all the cast posed together at their reunion photos it was clear that Lemigova towered over them even in heels!
