We all know Martina Navratilova is one of the most well-known and renowned tennis players in the world, and has an enormous following both on and off the tennis court. However, fans have the power to both make you famous and embarrass you at the same time. Similarly, a fan once humiliated the tennis great in a humorous incident recounted by her wife, Julia Lemigova.

Not only that, but her wife is also a well-known model and actor with a substantial fan base. However, no one can possess the same power over their fanbase as the former world number one.

Martina Navratilova’s wife shares an embarrassing anecdote 

The wife of the 59-time Grand Slam champion recently spoke in-depth about her life in an interview with Up and Adam. Furthermore, she mentioned a time when her tennis legend wife felt humiliated in front of a fan during that talk. But it eventually turned out to be a fun, dynamic moment that they will never forget.

Lemigova recalled a day when they went to a hotel, and all of a sudden a fan appeared. This admirer was so enamored with Julia that he didn’t even glance at the Czech-American star.

She said, “The other day you know, we were in a restaurant. Somebody comes to us. I immediately think they’re gonna like ask for her autograph or they’re gonna ask something you know about tennis to Martina. They told me, Julia, we love you on the show. I had my dog with me, and I’m like, Oh my God, and we love your animals, and Martina’s just laughing. This person did not look at Martina at all.”

Not only that, even the Russian model was shocked for a moment, as the fan didn’t really recognize her wife but was quite a huge fan of her show. However, even the 59-time Grand Slam Champion’s wife once embarrassed the tennis legend during their dating time, when they visited Paris together.

When Lemigova embarrassed Martina Navratilova in Paris 

In an interview with Chanel in the City a few days ago, the Real Housewives of Miami star remembered an occasion from their courtship when they went to Paris for the first time. She recalled a moment when they were simply sitting in a café or strolling across Paris and saw straight couples holding hands and kissing each other.

Despite the fact that she is used to it now, she didn’t want to be seen holding hands with the tennis legend at the time. And if Navratilova tried to make amorous advances toward her, she would even pull her hand away. Notably, she also expressed concern that others might be viewing them differently.
