The Real Housewives of Miami returned to airwaves this week via the Peacock Network. The show returns eight years after it last aired on the Bravo Network and features women from the original cast as well as some sizzling new personalities. Included among these is Julia Lemigova, the first openly gay housewife to be cast in any of the Bravo housewife franchises. Lemigova, who is married to tennis legend Martina Navratilova, is excited to represent the LGBTQ community and show the world that her marriage is very similar to most other marriages.

Lemigova is a former model and Miss USSR titleholder. She and the tennis champ first met in Paris in 2000 and bonded because of their similar Eastern European backgrounds. Despite their initial connection, Julia and Martina drifted apart for several years but eventually became a couple in 2008. By then, Lemigova had been through a couple of failed relationships and was now the mother of two young children, Victoria and Emma. The girls immediately took to Navratilova and the couple began spending time together in Florida and in Lemigova’s hometown of Paris. When same-sex marriage became legal in New York, the couple married and counted fellow tennis legend Chris Evert and actress Brooke Shields among their guests.

More than fifteen years after Bravo debuted its first group of housewives, viewers will finally get a glimpse into a household featuring a same-sex marriage. Though this platform thrusts Lemigova into the spotlight, she demures when it comes to being categorized as a spokesperson for the LGTBQ community. According to goodmorningamerica.com she is, “happy to be is a spokesperson for myself and my family and hope that as a family we represent our LGBTQ community well.” In another interview with E! News., she said, “I want to normalize how we live and show that love has no gender. We are a very loving family with big and unique personalities.”

The former Russian model and friend of original cast member Adriana de Moura, is excited to immerse herself in her new role as a Miami housewife. She feels a huge responsibility when it comes to representing her community, and is grateful for the opportunity to share her family’s life with viewers. Julia and Martina currently share two homes, a small farm where they grow produce and raise a menagerie of animals, and a Miami Beach estate.

Julia Lemigova is a welcome addition to the sisterhood of The Real Housewives of Miami. While several housewives have recently disclosed their bisexuality, she is the first cast member to be in a same-sex marriage. She credits wife Martina for encouraging her to participate in the show and seems to be embracing the opportunity with gratitude, humbleness and a genuine willingness to share her family’s life.
