Martina Navratilova and Julia Lemigova are embracing a new chapter as parents—this time with a reality TV twist. Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Miami is teasing fans with glimpses of their expanded family, as the couple’s adopted sons make a brief but heartwarming debut in the show’s trailer.
In the teaser clip, Lemigova is seen gently lifting one of their sons out of a car. The shot widens to reveal Navratilova walking just a few steps behind, accompanying their other little boy. It’s a moment that captures both the everyday joys of parenthood and the significance of their family’s evolution.
A Long-Awaited Dream Finally Comes True
The boys joined the couple through adoption in 2024, nearly a decade after Navratilova and Lemigova said “I do” in 2014. A representative confirmed the news to PEOPLE back in August, noting that the longtime couple had finally welcomed children together after years of consideration.
“We are over the moon recognizing the challenges and the rewards for everybody,” Navratilova said in a statement at the time.

Lemigova, who also has two daughters—Victoria and Emma—from previous relationships, had publicly expressed her desire to grow their family.
During Season 5 of RHOM, she opened up about wanting to adopt now that her daughters had left home. But life threw a wrench in their plans: Navratilova was diagnosed with cancer, forcing the couple to pause the adoption process.
A Health Battle That Put Everything on Hold
“When you’re adopting a child, it has to be about the child. And, right now, it’s everything about Martina, and for her getting healthy. So, we’re putting it on hold,” Lemigova said during the Season 5 reunion. “You know, we were thinking any moment, the agency would call and give us happy news that we’re going to have a baby … instead we are fighting two cancers.”
By June 2023, Navratilova was cancer-free, and just months later, Lemigova told Page Six that their hopes of adoption were still alive. They hadn’t “closed the door” on the dream—and now, in 2024, that dream has clearly come true.
