Martina Navratilova marries longtime girlfriend Julia Lemigova in New York ceremony They do! The retired tennis star married her girlfriend of eight years Monday at Manhattan's Peninsula hotel BY RACHEL MARESCA NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Wednesday, December 17, 2014, 7:41 AM Martina Navratilova said "I do"! The retired tennis star tied the knot to longtime partner Julia Lemigova Monday in a private ceremony at the Peninsula hotel in New York City, the duo confirmed to the BBC. Navratilova told the site she was "terrified and relieved" after exchanging vows. "It's just really odd," she explained. "I'm 58 years old and I got married for the first time. It's about time, right? "Growing up as a gay woman you just don't ever think about that, but then about 10 years ago I thought, 'In about 10 years, gay marriage will be legal,' and here we are, making it legal" she continued. Navratilova popped the question to the 42-year-old Russian model in the Tennis Channel suite while the couple was at the U.S. Open in September.

"Originally it wasn't the idea to do it at the U.S. Open, on the Jumbotron and all that, but then it was, 'Why not? I've seen it in movies!'" Navratilova told People magazine of the romantic proposal. "And it all came off, everything worked out perfectly." The pair began dating in 2006 and Navratilova came out in 1981. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
