Julia Lemigova and Martina NavratilovaBefore tying the knot with her wife Martina Navratilova, Julia Lemigova almost walked down the aisle nine separate times!
During a sneak peek of next week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Miami, Lemigova, 51, reveals that she was set to wed multiple times before finally marrying the tennis legend, 67, in 2014. So many times, in fact, that she struggled to remember!
A dinner between Lemigova and her costars Dr. Nicole Martin, Adriana de Moura and Guerdy Abraira sees the group discussing their fellow Housewife Lisa Hochstein moving on with her new man Jody Glidden amid her contentious split from her estranged husband Lenny Hochstein,
de Moura revealed that Hochstein and Glidden have been talking about buying a house together, which Martin noted is “quick.”
“But if you feel like you don’t want to be single and I like this person, why not? Life is too short,” continued Lemigova.

This led Abraira to ask Lemigova how many times she has been engaged.
“You would drop on the floor if I tell you,” she responded. “I would literally have to stop and count.”
“More than five?” asked Martin. “Stop!”

Dr. Nicole Martin, Guerdy Abraira, Lisa Hochstein, Julia Lemigova, Alexia Nepola and Larsa PippenLemigova then started counting her way through her engagements with the ladies. “One time when I was 18 with a guy in LA, and then same year an English boy and then possibly one girl and then, uhh, oh God,” she said.
The episode then moved to Lemigova in a confessional, once again trying to recall her number of engagements. “How many did I count already? Five or six?” she said.
“You’re on six,” a producer told Lemigova.

"I have no idea what the future shows, really don't,” continued Lemigova. “But I'm just happy to be healthy. I'm happy that Martina is healthy. Just thanking life for giving us good news, and that we have each other."
