Julia Lemigova Photos, Martina Navratilova's Girlfriend

Martina Navratilova is rumored to be engaged to Julia Lemigova, a former beauty queen, model and entrepreneur.

Former Miss Universe contestant Julia Lemigova has a cosmetics company and a spa in Paris. In 2005, Lemigova hit the headlines when her former lover, French banker Edouard Stern was shot dead in a latex catsuit. His mistress at the time, Cécile Brossard, confessed to killing him during a sadomasochist bondage session.

Lemigova claimed she had been Stern's mistress long before Brossard. She had a son with him but the child died of internal injuries at the age of five months. The incident happened just days after Lemigova had hired a new nanny, a Bulgarian who vanished right after his death.

Lemigova was questioned whether she had been paid to murder her son. But the inquiry was later closed due to lack of evidence.

Navratilova, 52, has recently settled with her former lesbian partner Toni Layton for an estimated $3 million after a legal battle. The 18-time grand slam singles champion also had a high-profile legal battle with former partner, Miss Texas Judy Nelson in the early Nineties.
